MS and Dementia are often tied together. Did you know that at one point MS was considered a type of dementia? Take a gander here: https://www.dementia.org/multiple-sclerosis-and...

I can remember long term but not what happened early this morning or even last week. That’s MS for you! Perhaps that’s what your uncle is experiencing. Good luck 🍀!

I’m just really hoping that he’s okay.

It Sounds like Demintia but im not an expert My Short term memmory has been affected some what by MS but not my Long Term. My late wifes Mother who also passed away before her daughter had Demintia she insited her Grandson and his Wife she had seen them on TV.

I am scatter brained. I don't think it is my MS. Talked to my doctor about this. She said it is my brain's way of coping with things, Your brain can only hold so much. You need to slow down is what she told me. She also told me it is my body's way of coping with things I can not control. I told her I can't slow down it is my way of coping with my MS and anything else that is going on. My body will tell me when it is time to slow down. Prayers for your family, Stay strong.
