I am not diagnosed. Had lesions, signs and symptoms eight years ago and they have returned again. Flare started in September and seems to have resolved for the most part. Still have some residual symptoms of a physical nature, but nothing serious.
My cognitive issues seemed much worse this time around and I thought they were much better until this week. Couldn't believe the crazy stuff I have been doing and at this point it seems much worse than my physical concerns.
Several times I finished a cup of tea and then looked around the house for the cup even though I washed and put it away. Put a prescription away in it's usual spot, but then tore the house apart looing for it. The worst was last night when I put a pot on the stove with no water and turned the burner on. I couldn't understand why the veggies were not cooking and kept turning the burner up. My husband caught it, but I burnt the pot and veggies. A couple of hours later I was playing cards with my hubby and kids and moments after winning the game I asked "who won that game". I honestly couldn't remember it had been me.
I really think these issues are abnormal and my hubby has commented he thinks my cognitive issues are quite severe. My fifteen year old son even pulled me aside last night and said "Mom are you having trouble with your memory?" He said he's noticed and he's worried about it.
I don't have a diagnosis of MS or anything else. I see neuro in February and really hope he will try and get to the bottom of this. Do you think he will order a neuropsych assessment?
