Okay when I was first diagnosed with the MS I was numb everywhere and I had trouble walking not a lot but I would trip and I fell a few times that seems to be much better. I have more cognitive problems. Seriously the thought process sucks and it's almost like when I have a relapse which I haven't had in years thank God but when I have a relapse it's like a crazy person. Also now when I talk to people it takes me awhile to find the words sometimes. I'm sure people think I'm on something but I'm not. And memory forget about it. I don't know it just makes me feel like an idiot. And then when you don't get good sleep it makes it worse.funny when I first got diagnosed I couldn't keep my eyes open I would take naps everyday and I slept like a champ and now all of a sudden for the past couple years I cannot sleep. I'm glad I found this site because I don't want to be alone and all this crazy and when you read about others you know you're not crazy. Thanks everybody.

I use to have a problem with insomnia but I bought a sound machine, stayed away from electronics for 30 minutes and kept a regular sleep schedule and it worked. Lately I have had trouble falling asleep so I have started taking 1mg of Melatonin right before I get in bed. It doesn't keep you asleep but it lulls me into to sleep. Potter

I also had all these issues so you’re not alone. I felt so dumb. I couldn’t remember even 2 seconds before. I could picture the word I wanted to say, but couldn’t say it. Mines gotten so much better thankfully. I have sleep issues too. I can’t sleep for more than 3 hours at a time now and it takes hours for me to go back to bed. It’s frustrating since we’re supposed to make sure we’re getting enough sleep. Hopefully things improve!
