Hi Val,…..I

have my days when I have problems with cognitive stuff too, and it does seem

like you are losing your mind. Sometimes I have what I call my dyslexic

typing moments. No matter how many times I have typed a word, it might come out

backwards. I always use my spell checker! It used to really worry me, but now I

just kind of accept that that is the way it is sometimes. One of the things I started

doing was to “exercise” my brain. I actually think it has helped. I

have a series of games that I play each day, from cards, to words, numbers,

memory and puzzles. I have several software games that keep me active in my

mind, and I do think it has helped. I can gage my cognitive abilities by

playing them, and know what kind of a day it will be. The one that stretches

my thinking the most is the memory game. It’s a simple childrens game,

and it has different levels. I play on the easiest and work up. I don’t

play until I get frustrated. That to me would be counter productive. Maybe

something like this will help you too?

Cognitive

problems are just another bothersome symptom of MS, and with a little planning can

improve. Adapting to our difficulties is a process, and with time and

experience you will find an acceptable level of function that you can live

with.

I know its

not a funny thing, but if you can find some humor in it, it will ease the

worry, and give you lots of stories to tell, “remember the time?”

Hugs,

Jackie J

I am so

upset! Seems like I'm starting to lose my mind! I used to be a really good

speller. But for some reason, I can't seem to remember how to spell even

the simplest words. It's a good thing I have spell check on here. And even

with that, I still have problems occasionally. I'm having problems keeping

on track also. I can be writing a sentence, then forget what I'm writing

before getting to the end of the sentence. It wouldn't be so bad, except

the sentences aren't that long! I'm forgetting everything these days. I'll

start the wash and forget to put it in the dryer. It will sit there until I

happen to think about putting a load in to wash and find that the washer is

already full. I

put food in the microwave to heat up. If I don't stand there and wait for

the food to heat up, I'll forget and it will sit there until I happen to

open the microwave door heat something up again.

Hi Val,

I've done the exact same thing. You are not

Going crazy. I misspell the simplest words and I just can't spell right. I have had stuff left in the microwave until hubby comes home and discovers it. I just put down a to do list for things I really have to do, then I am going to check them off as I get them done. Will give me a sense of accomplishment. I've used timers before for a reminder, whether it was for checking the laundry or whatever, the oven ringer would go off and BiNGO......I remembered what I was doing before I forgot and went on a different project!!!!

Hi Val, I hardly ever post, but I have been having this problem alot

lately. Twice this month I screwed up our check book and it ended up

costing us over three hundred dollars. I was so upset with

myself...crying was just the start. I didn't move off the couch for

days. We live paycheck to paycheck and this memory lapse will take

more than a month to correct. I guess I'm still pretty down. My DH

was not angry, but I'm sure he's more upset than he's letting on.

Our bills are behind as it is and this will just make matters worse.

Well, anyway, just wanted to share, have a good day, Dawn K

I hear ya, Yesterday I made 5 jumbo hard-boiled eggs. When I took the

eggs out I put them in the freezer for a wuick-cool. I found them

there this morning. Oops.

Not an expensive omission but it still fits in the dain-bramaged

category...actually I almost always fit there anyway...

Peace and Blessings...Akiba

Dawn,

I know exactly what you are saying. I used to take care of the checkbook. My fiance and I share an acct. After my two episodes of losing a couple hundred dollars, I finally gave in and let him take over. It wouldn't have been so bad, but he really doesn't get the whole MS thing, and got really mad at me. Yes, I did my fair share of crying also. But the good thing is, now when we have no money, he can no longer blame it on me. And when he causes us to go overdrawn, it's my turn to get upset. He has no excuse...other than the fact that he has no idea what he's doing. But, I'm not one to say, "I told you so." Although, I'd like to.

God bless...Val

Darlene,

If you came to my house you'd think I was crazy for sure. I have multi-colored sticky notes all over! My desk is full of papers with notes for things I'm not supposed to forget. But, what is really strange is, I will put a note on the fridge to remind me to do something. Then guess what? I forget to look at the note! I'll notice it a couple days later. I have missed a lot of appointments because of this. It drives me crazy!

Blessings...Val

Jackie,

Today day seems to be an especially difficult day with the cognitive thing. For the life of me, I can't remember how to spell perscription. (sp). Oh brother. I can't even tell if I'm spelling it wrong! I know I must be because my spell check is saying so.

I do play a lot of word type games with a friend of mine here on the web. We play word racer and literati ( a scrabble game). I also do crossword puzzles. But now, I can see why I'm not finishing many. Tee hee. It's funny that you mention dyslexic moments...It took me a half hour to type this email...I'm constantly having to read and reread and fix the mistakes I have made. If I didn't proofread, would have definatly (sp) looked like a first grader typed it.

Thank you so much for your support and advise....God bless you!

Val, we are just crazy together.. Ha ha Just reading everones responses makes me realize that I am NOT alone in this. I am actually getting some good laugh therapy with everyone cuz I've done the same things. The sticky notes...yep.....then I would forget where I put the freaken sticky note. My hubby got me a spiral notebook...well same thing..couldn't find where it was and a lot of the times it could be right in front of me and I don't see it!!!!! I'll have to ask my hubby, actually I'm gonna give him a call to ask him what I said that we laughed forever on....just a sec..... Ok here it is, I was trying to remember a certain phrase and I mix it up with my own ms lingo....oh my gosh, my hubby said I have so many he isn't sure which one. LOL Oh, I did just do this the other day, since my sensation if off I had NO IDEA. My hubby says "honey what do you have hanging on your robe?" Ha Ha...I look down and I had a shirt tangled up around my waist and didn't even know it. He saw the fabric out of my robe!! I originally started to put the shirt on and decided not to, must of got side tracked and forgot to finish and I then put the robe on. NEVER a dull moment

Thank you so much Akiba!

You know I still had not figured that out! But now that I look at the proper spelling, I can see it. Good grief!

I took a look at your blog spot. I left a comment. I have an acct. There as well. I haven't put anything in it yet. I'm thinking about moving my novel to that spot. It's in 360 now, but I have so many other things going on there right now, my novel just seems to take the backseat.

Again...Thank you and God bless...

Darlene,

Halarious!(sp...again) I have found that it does no good to write things down in note books. I forget to look in them anyway. Sticky notes work pretty good, as long as I put them where I know I'll be apt to see them. You know, like on the computer!! Otherwise,I'll forget unless I happen to be in that particular area.

I'm so glad to know that this is not just me. Not that I wish it on anyone else, heaven forbid.

What is really embarrassing is to find that you've walked out of the house with two different shoes. I've done that so many times, I now leave my shoes at the door. I just slip them on before leaving.

Blessings...

PS. One of my twins middle name is Darlene. I've always thought that was a pretty name.

Val,

Well my dear.....I went to church before with 2 different shoes on. Ha Ha. I didn't realize until my daughter pointed it out. I had one black one and one blue one. Hey, that is good advise. I think I will put my sticky notes on my computer since I know I will see it. I have put a sticky note on my door to remind me not to forget blah blah blah....before leaving the house.

Have a great night

I feel so much better knowing I'm the only one. Not that you lost money also, but that it was honestly a memory lapse. I wish my husband would take over; he just flat out says he will not. I don't understand why it's ok for him to say that and not me. Anyway, thanks for making me feel not so crazy. Dawn KValene wrote: Dawn, I know exactly what you are saying.

Hi Jackie-

Thank you for asking. As a matter of fact, I am feeling a little better today. Finally got rid of the headache! But, tonight is shot night again.... I guess tomorrow will have to be left in God's hands. Usually, the day after I take my shot is when I experience the most problems. I'm starting to wonder if it's psychological or something. Then again, it is a little cooler today. (That always helps.)

I would love to keep stress out of my life, but when one's fiance is a cop, and he brings the job home, it makes it kind of hard to stay away from the stress. I have however, started leaving MS pamphlets around for him to read up on. I think he needs to see it in print. I don't think he's listening to me.

Have a great weekend!! Blessed be...

Hi Val,……glad

the headache is better. I don’t think the symptoms after your shot is psychological,

because others here have mentioned similar reactions.

Wow a cop

eh? Maybe you could approach the MS subject from a work related perspective? Like

what would he do if he encountered someone who had MS? Would he be able to help

them if they needed it? or something to that effect.

My hubby

has lived with my MS for most of our married life, and he only knows what I’ve

told him. He believes what I say, but sometimes I think he thinks I am making more

of my symptoms, and use them to get out of going places. YEAH RIGHT!!! As if???

Geeeeeeeessssssshhhhhhhhh!!

Now that

he is sick I think he’s beginning to understand a little better.
