Personality Type, MS, or both?

I was reading through some old posts and saw where folks talked about their mind going in a hundred different directions. I took the Meyer's Briggs personality test a while back and have always been amazed at how perfectly it described me. Then, I read how some people say their mind works in this forum. I'm not talking about being easily distracted or losing concentration. I get that. It probably is MS. But, the ability to think of ten million different things simultaneously and pull from some minute element of what somebody is saying or not saying to accidentally change the subject....is that just my weird personality or is that a common trait among MSers, too? I've heard it described as being like a computer with a hundred different tabs open. Yup, that's me. Except the tabs get all jumbled. Wishing everybody a beautiful day.

Old age? MS? OCD, ADHD, ADD, or just straight up panic attacks. Hard telling I would think Tinker-Belle ? Unless dx'ed by your Dr?

Me? Big changes, need at least 3 days for me to process and decide. But I have been like that since my Angel Monsters were lil.

Now I think it's worse.🙁

That's funny. I have been known to blame it on MS, being over 50, having kids, being blonde (ok, I'm not blonde anymore but I used to be), stress, etc. My husband says I have OCD but I don't.

Just do what I do, blame EVERYTHING on MS. It's more fun🤣😂

I used to be able the follow what 4 kids were yelling at me at the same time...But that was before MS...after I have a hard time following 1 person yelling at me at a time...is it MS...or is it that I just don't care about what I'm be yelled at for and quickly lose interest and move on to something else?😁😂

I did it awhile ago. So I don't recall what I was. Now that you ask I would what am I.

I can tell you I have the need for structure and details along with the need to control with no need to be the center of anything. I observe before I react.
