I am not yet officially diagnosed. Was given probable diagnosis 8 years ago and symptoms mostly remitted until this past summer. Had some physical symptoms which are much better, but cognitive problems are persisting and getting worse. The lates MRI showed no lesions but only a calcification in my brain.
My cognitive problems are becoming very problematic at home and at work. I am forgetting basic tasks and I am really scared what this means. I forget to turn off the stove, put pots on the stove without water and cause fires, put meals together, but don't turn on the oven, forget to turn off running water, make coffee/tea without boiling water. Everyday the signs are present. I forget stuff constantly, misplace stuff, find things in odd places and don't complete tasks at work I have done for years. I am very easily confused by everything from learning new information, taking money out of the bank or using my debit card. It is really scary to think that at 44 I have a memory worse than my parents who are in their 70's.
My doctor says she is much more concerned about the cognitive problems than the physical ones. I see my neuro in two weeks and am preying he can figure this out. I don't know if MS could cause this or if it's the calcium deposit in my brain or something else. Could this be MS? Anyone else have such severe and persistent cognitive problems?
