Memory loss affects between 40-70% of people with MS, with short-term memory problems being particularly common. Many people find they can remember events from years ago clearly but struggle to recall recent events like what they ate yesterday or names of people they've recently met.

Short-term memory issues in MS differ Show Full Answer

Memory loss affects between 40-70% of people with MS, with short-term memory problems being particularly common. Many people find they can remember events from years ago clearly but struggle to recall recent events like what they ate yesterday or names of people they've recently met.

Short-term memory issues in MS differ from other conditions - it's typically more about executive functioning and difficulty with immediate recall or multitasking rather than long-term memory loss. Research shows that people with progressive MS may experience more significant memory and thinking problems compared to those with relapsing-remitting MS. Contributing factors can include MS-related fatigue, anxiety, or medication side effects.

To help manage memory challenges, try:
- Using digital reminders and alerts on your phone
- Playing memory games or doing puzzles
- Reading books and practicing recall
- Keeping organized lists of important information
- Discussing cognitive symptoms with your neurologist if they interfere with daily activities

Yes I have terrible cog fog that keeps me from doing things I used to do on the computer and things like that. I'm always asking the same questions I feel.
