Memory

Hi guys, Does anyone here struggle with memory issues? I know almost all of us have brain fog issues, (me included) but memory is another issue isn’t it? It would be lovely to hear that it’s not just me, but maybe it is, I just don’t know if it’s a symptom or not….perhaps I’m just getting old 😩

Over the last 6 months my memory has been getting steadily worse. I was diagnosed in 2002 and it's only within the last 4 years that the memory loss problems have been a factor. But I have noticed in the last 6 months it's getting worse. Does anyone have any tips? Or do I just need to start writing...

Fatigue and memory

I've been diagnosed since 2011. My memory is getting worse and I have no energy. No matter how tired I get I don't sleep enough. My memory is becoming a joke. I find myself repeating questions or talking about the same thing. I get frustrated and that makes it worse. I feel like people think I'm fak...

Memory problems

Guys… my memory is shot to pieces. Both my long term and short term. I’ve always thought that if I wasn’t the prettiest then at least I had my brains but I don’t feel like I even have that anymore. The worst part is that I’m only 20. Is this really just from MS? I’ve been experiencing lots of stress...
