I have words just disappear from my head. A typical sentence is like " I got up to answer the....the thing where u go in and out of the house. That thing. God what is it called! " oh yeah. It's a door. Lose words like that. All the time. I get so frustrated! Its like charades with my life! Am I the only one?

Yep, memory is an issue ... I hate when people keep asking me but don't you remember when .... No, I don't so stop asking me to recall it. I draw a blank on people's names I should know, I forget completely if someone interrupts me speaking, I just forget things I should remember :-/

Yep ~ it's like some of the circuitry in my brain has just short wired. It's especially frustrating when I can see the image, clear as day in my head. I just wanna transport the info from my head to theirs! ^_^

This MS can cause all sort of symptoms. Losing words from your memory is common with MS. I born with MS and and it has been rough. I suggest you us take your time when speaking so you can say your words as it come. I will pray for your healing while I am praying for my healing.

When I was first diagnosed I knew what I wanted to say however it would come out garbled. I taught myself to formulate what I wanted to say before I said it. At first I was very slow in having a conversation and people would attempt to help me to complete a conversation but after awhile I got everything up to speed.

The Very Best to You!
