I have cognitive issues, and I know many other people with MS do too. It is very normal so don't worry!

  • Hi Lauren, Just wanted to say I love your videos I am still awaiting a diagnosis at the moment so in limbo at the moment. I was wondering are you still able to keep working at the moment? I have been suffering from cognitive problems and am worried that i wont be able to carry on with my work (I am a nurse) as I love my job. Will this improve if I am diagnosed and start on medication? Thanks, Rob

  • @rob26bingley Hi Rob! Thank you so much for your comment! I have had MS for 11 1/2 years and I work full time and I'm going to grad school! Anything is possible! If you are diagnosed, you will learn new techniques to remember things and/or try to adjust to the cognitive problems as much as possible. I have cognitive problems, and I write EVERYTHING down so I don't forget or get confused. My professors know that I have cognitive issues and they are incredibly understanding. I wish you the best!

  • I even have issues while I type. And in eyesight, my numbers were a 20 and a... 300! D:

  • @TheKyleecow Oh wow, good luck with everything!

  • I definitely have lots of cognitive problems. I have so much trouble writing paragraphs in my writing class because I cannot figure out how to start. I have SO MUCH problems in math because, for some reason, I couldn't figure out how to divide, which is causing a lot of problems now. I mess up almost every word. Especially if I'm tired, 'cause I get really goofy and stutter lots. Great job! After I get my blood work back to see if I have thyroid or diabetes, I want to get scanned for MS.

  • @TheKyleecow I wish you the very best with everything. I can understand how frustrating that is!

  • @seekirk Oh I've done similar things like that! It's so annoying!

  • I keep loosing words. I hate it. I developed a skill of making up a string of words to replace the word I am looking for instead of stalling on the word and then forgetting what I was trying to say in the first place! I would rather say something basic, than use that one word that I have no idea where it went. I can relate fully.
