I apparently told my husband about something that was going on tonight. He says I told him it was one thing, I think I told him it was something entirely different. Now he is angry at me.
Why does my ms brain mix up the messages I think I am telling others?
I feel bad for mixing up the facts, and making him upset. :(

I honestly think I say one thing...but, people around me tell me otherwise. So, I must be the one who is making the mistakes. Sad. :o(

Steve, I don't have any trouble with what you mentioned in your comments. I know that age has lots to do with mind/forgetfullnes, but, I also know that even just three years ago, I had the abilities to function quite well at my job as a supervisor over many others, and now, I have trouble recalling if I took a pill, or ate lunch on any given day. So, I do know that a fair amount of my issues do have to do with the MS, and the med's they put in us.
I also know, that I do keep growing older, so, I will credit that when needed also. But, I just know that right now alot of my cognitive issues have to do with the ms world too. I haven't "aged" that much in just 3 years. So, yes...I do understand the phrase of "don't blame ms on everything"...but, I do blame some of the cog. issues.

Been there, done that-I think:) I constantly repeat things, sometimes within a few seconds after saying it the 1time. I own CRS, I remember 1 time I thought I lost my cell phone, found it in the closet under a pair of sweats. I have no idea how it got there.

It has really affected my job. I question everything I do. I have a real hard time even filing. I now question everything I do. Looks like I will be going on part time disability, I'm totally useless after lunch. Just remeber you're not alone
