Memory Blanks

[jamilea]

Ugh, I hate when it happens, especially while driving. When I become aware of it, I realize that a chunk of remembering how I drove from point A to point B are missing.

Should I be really concerned about this? Please keep in mind I still don't have health insurance. I'm working on it though.

Looking more for support. Thanks.

It sounds like a short term memory thing, very common with MS. What may work is to write down all the turns going and coming back, just remembering what you did going so you can reverse it coming back may not work, memory thing.

I've done that while driving for years. I think it's kind of normal and not necessarily an MS thing. You get to thinking about something else and since driving is kind of an automatic function, you don't really pay attention to what you're doing on a higher level. I can go to work and back and not remember the trip. But I know I was driving okay, because I didn't have an accident or get pulled over for not stopping. I was just on auto-pilot.
