Before I was diagnosed with MS I started noticing some issues at the office. Writing a simple email took a long time as my grammar was horrible and I wasn't making myself clear. Writing technical documentation was extremely painful and stressful and it used to be a breeze.

Once diagnosed it all made sense to me. So from that point on I did my best to stay on top of things, did a lot of reading, started and completed my masters degree and also completed a security certification. But lately I have been noticing issues once again. Some of the issues may be due to my current bout with depression, but some are deeper. I did go to a specialist who ran cognitive tests on me from 8-4. I was wiped out. Results didnt sound so special when I heard them either. One thing that stood out was that I needed to try and document everything said as I heard it or even take a recording (not possible in my work environment) so that I comprehend the entire requirement. Have to come up with some way to get better at dealing at the demands of the job or I will be on the unemployment line. My boss is not been very forgiving even after I expressed to her the problems I had been having as a result of the depression and MS.

I know MS is hard and a lot of people out there have it a lot worse than I, but it is a struggle nevertheless. I meet with the neurologist this week and am looking forward to her response to the test results and am hopeful she will help set me in the right direction... Wish me luck...
