when your husband doesn't understand that you don't have control over your memory or mood at all times.

I would like to thank everyone on here. I emailed some of the responses to my mom so she can understand when I tell her I forget, I really forget, and I'm not lying!!!

"You know you have MS when you're on a first date at the fair watching a show in the grandstands. When the show is over, and you're walking down the eight-billion stairs, near the end you look down, your legs go haywire, and you fall down the last 2 steps to go, cram your arm through the bars on a wrought iron gate trying to catch yourself, see the guy staring at you in desbelief, and having to ask him for "a little help?"...then you almost pee yourself with uncontrollable laughter because you can't believe that just happened!!!

you call someone and forget who you called by the time they answer the phone

i haven't forgotten the pamplet. a very talented m.s.er drew a perfect cover for it. it'll be done in january. i'll let you all know

you know, or I did, when you walk into a room of your own house, intent on some mission, and suddenly stop, wondering, "why the hell did I come in here?"
or, if you get a large splinter embedded under your fingernail and you think to yourself, "didn't stuff like that used to hurt?"

You face plant into the floor and think...I'm falling

OMFG I laughed my ass off the entire time I was reading these...I had to take like 3 bathroom breaks by the way.. Ok I would like to second warguppys comment, I hate it when that happens...and to jsut give a little comment about memory I said your name in my head like 10 time so I would remember, I got to the last page and was getting ready to post and I though...Oh shit what was his name again!!! I think we're all in the same boat here and I hate to say it but I'm loving it. I finally feel like I'm not alone and there's people that I can actually talk to about this who GET it!!! very nice comments everyone!!!

"you know you have ms when...Your 4 year old say's "I'll help you mommy and come and does what ever your 'trying' to do"

Oh yeah, and TOTALLY get what your saying MrCoffee!!! Isn't always a hoot when that happens though!! -Laughs-

When you try to grease the skillet with 409 instead of Pam (yep, my family is now afraid to eat my food).

You wake up screaming during a dream that you're pants are on fire and the devil is going to get you. Your husband thinks your nuts as he wrings out the sheets on your side of the bed. Five years later he reminds you of the story and says, "OMG, I bet you had M.S. back then"! You think?

When you go to work with only one shaved leg because you forgot to shave the other. Then, the next morning, you decide to play catch-up and shave the other one to make them almost even. But you end up shaving the same one all over again.

When you have to back in the toilet stall because 'seeing the potty' makes you go.

When you are fishing with your hubby and throw the whole pole in the water when you are trying to cast. He has a float on it now...

Thanks for the laughs. I was having a pity party day for myself and this really made me laugh. You brightened my day.

YOUR 93 YEAR OLD GRANDMA WALKS BETTER THAN YOU.

when you try to toliet train your daughter and began uncontrollably peeing/pooping your pants!
