Do you ever find trouble finding the right word, or get to the top of the stairs and forget why you're there? For people with MS brain fog is a common symptom; it's a catch-all term that covers a range of cognitive functions including memory, multitasking, maintaining attention etc. These are all areas where some people with multiple sclerosis report noticing changes. You can read tips and tricks from others who have dealt with brain fog, start your own conversation about your experiences, or watch videos from healthcare professionals discussing how to manage cognitive issues in MS.

Brain fog

Does anyone have difficulty with brain fog? I feel like I have zero tabs open and I have to concentrate to articulate what I'm saying when I'm in conversations. I feel like I have a blank mind all the time. Anyone else have this?

Brain fog.

My mind is like an Internet browser. 30 tabs open, half are frozen and I have no idea where the music is coming from.
