Has this happened to anybody. I do have ms The other day I wanted to see what time it was. So I looked at a reular clock. It wouldn't sink into my head what time it said. I looked at the watch on my wrist same thing. I had to look at my cell phone to see what time it was. Then I understood. Is this crazy or what. I'm fine now. Sometimes I have a hard time finding words to complete my sentences. My husband will say things on certain days and I can't figure out what he's saying. It's real simple what he's said. Sassy

My cognitive problems cause me to flip words around in a sentence or regularly not be able to think of a word. That tip of my tongue thing, ya know. I also have a horrible memory. My husband calls me Dory for Finding Nemo.

I went to a neuropsychologist for cognitive skills testing in late January when my neuro became concerned at my last MRI which showed considerable brain damage.

I have trouble finding the right words sometimes and my memory is not as good, but I wasn't overly concerned. The testing confirmed my weaknesses - the neuropsych and my neuro said the findings were completely consistent with MS.

I can relate to not being able to find the right words to say. My memory is not what it used to be either. It can be so frustrating.
