Deer Caught In The Headlights!

[Deer In Headlights]

I was dx with ms 8 months ago and I still feel, not all the time now, but a Deer Caught In Headlights. Sometimes it hurts to think and comprehension is tough. It seems like I forget thinks all the time and my wife is tired of my poop. I can't think straight. When I get excited, good or bad, my head starts to hurt. Sorry about the complaining but I just wanted to vent.

Great place to complain

Vent all you want. We all go through this stuff, so we understand. I just came out of a relapse. I only Know it was a relapse because I feel sooo much better now than I have for the past few months. My cognition has improved right along with my muscle spasms. Been having symptoms for years, but was just diagnosed in March, so I'm a newbie too.

I am sorry you are struggling. 8 months is a short period of time, so go easy on yourself and you will eventually get through the 'deer in headlights' effect. It will take time for your wife too. My husband doesn't even want to talk about MS.

Steeler--go easy on yourself ! You haven't had all that much time to absorb it all and it's a tall drink to take in for sure!

Guess I'm alittle slow--had no idea what your title meant We have deer in our back yard most nights and of course thought that you saw some while you were driving! (he-he) At least I still have my sense of humor- although sometimes I wonder about that too!

Vent away, we understand! I've been like a deer in the headlights lately, I'll be mid-sentence and just stop.....can't get the words out. Heck, don't even know what the words are I'm looking for!
