Its difficult at times. I have problems remembering many things. The name of my drink when ordering, how I like my food cooked, names of people, and on and on. I wish I could say it gets better but sadly I dont think it does. My husband and I were in the shower and talking about his shampoo as he was washing his hair. A few mins later I asked him if he was going to wash his hair. He just looked at me with sad eyes, said I just did, and reminded me we just talked about it.I was having to set my GPS to make it to a new job. Needless to say I quit. It was embarrassing getting lost down roads I have traveled many times. I went back to an old job closer to home. I have become a list maker for just about EVERYTHING. Work...list, bills....list, birthday and Anniversary....list, to do....list. Have been talking about getting a medical ID with my info on it.

AndreaLynneCameron; Short term memory loss is common With MS, I have been told this by my doctor as well as on this site; I know my knife isn't as sharp as it used to be, I go to write a page an have to stop some times and can't for the life of me remember how to spell a common word, or remember an expression I want to use, and it seem's to be getting more common every day. Don't let it get to you,a lot of post on here are misspelled or not quite up to par, but the most of us are used to it; I don't hold it against any one!

I have the same problem. I have noticed i can not pronounce word correctly and i forget how to spell words. When I talk to anyone I know about anything.....5 min later or less I asked them the same thing and they told me "told you that or you asked that question already" I go I did? Not happy! i got my MRI results back yesterday........no new leisions! (that's how you spell that?) lol my brain is the same except my memory loss due to MS! I feel like I'm going to be a dummy because sometimes I can't remember, comphrened, my speech sucks, etc. Sometimes I just want to go and hide and never come out!

God yes. I’m so slow at telling a story, people don’t be wait for me to finish anymore. They start a new conversation. Especially when I ask “now what story was I telling you.”
I feel there’s people in my family that think I’m stupid now, even though I have a good education and profession. I totally get dissed by the younger kids especially.
Does wonders for your self esteem. You’re not alone that’s for sure.

Yes most definatley, i walk into a room and forget what im doing🤦🏼‍♂️. Or right in my journal and forget what i was writing mid sentence! Quite frustrating
