I just got lost on my way to the mailroom at work. I've worked here for 2 years and the mailroom hasn't moved. I almost gave up in a panic and returned to my desk. Finally, I just asked someone, feeling like an idiot. I'm not sure if it's my eyesight (optic neuritis has left me almost blind in right eye), sense of direction, diminished cognitive functioning, or something else. I hate asking myself "Is this MS?" questions all the time. Thanks for letting me share.

Hope all you kiddies enjoyed the Wildcard games (I did not). We now move onto the Divisional games. These are worth 4 points each and an extra 4 points for picking the winner AND the total points scored in that game. Not an easy task. Think it was hit last year twice (Wingman can tell you better then me). We have 4 games to play this week. Not going to be easy either. Here are your...
Im sorry this happened to you, it can be very upsetting. This can certainly be the MS, it happens to me alot. You might want to read a book called The Cognitive Challenges of MS. I found it very enlightening.
Good Luck.
I think this is the most scary part for me. You need some rest. Tell your doctor also.
Last month I got lost driving to my Mom's house. I've lived in my home for at least 9 years, my Mom in her house, the home I grew up in, for at least 30. I completely freaked out. I was so scared that I was losing my mind. I finally turned around and started over. I'm laughing about it now. I could tell you 100 more stories, but I don't want you to lose respect for me...LOL -Jen
I have to say it does make for some funny storie at times....

I have gotten lost coming home though that was some time ago. I was newer to the farm and forgot the correct turn on my gravel lane. That's OK as it is easier to see from the other direction which deadends into a state route... (Also gave me a chance to meet new neighbors.)
A thousand times a day I forget what I'm doing. Luckily, my house is small so I'm not wasting energy remember which room to which I was going(there are only 3).
My older friends tell me it is old age, but I know better. They simply don't understand what it is like to live with Swiss cheese for brains at 42 yrs. old... Hold on to the fact that we all just have to find ways to deal with MS issues. Personally, I play Mah Jong on the computer (matching tiles) which helps me with memory. I also calculate my gas mileage on the way home from town in my head or keep track of what I'm spending in my head... Anything I can think of to exercise the ole noggin' LOL... xoxoxo Cj
Not fun
hugs

ps ur not alone hun
Then, my husband will tell me he's going somewhere, and I forget where he said he was going.
I mailed a bill off yesterday, but forgot to put the stamp on it!
On my way home from work (in October) I got lost!
It's these little things like this that make me feel like I'm loosing my mind!
In other words, I know how you feel. It's just part of MS. I don't know how to deal with it myself, I just do the best I can.
Hope things get better for you.
