Hi
I'm 48.5yrs my MS was DX about 1995-96. Dunno the exact date because I just ignored it (probably typical male response) also had to earn an income... (kids 0 and 2).
Did not start Copoxone until about 7 years ago. Now on Gilenya {cannot easily take Tysabri easily (JVC+)}. Multiple brain and spinal lesions affecting everything especially my right hand sensations but MS is not visible unless exercising or walking, I limp but I say its juvenile arthritis (had minor episode when young).
This is my difficulty, I work in finance (now very low end work now) but I keep making mistakes in my calculations. The figures can change it seems each time I look at them. My memory is I think terrible I need names of people I work with just to speak to people, I get names so wrong its so embarrassing. I get a bad reputation for accuracy.
My MS is not disclosed. The last person that had MS was let go. My Neurologist feels I will not be able to work from August this year (is that because my MS has become Secondary Progressive I dunno, seems to be cascading).
Working and saving since 18 has left me able to set up myself a small pension and little debt. I have disability insurance which will be 1/2 of my wage that may be able to claim on.
I don't know whether the mistakes are MS related or stress or what is happening. The Neuropsych test shows abnormal memory and deterioration consistent with MS. I don't want to stop work or disclose but am stressed.
Does anyone else seem to have the issue with accuracy and getting things right?
Thanks
