positivelivingwithms.com/20... Positive Living! And yesterday her blog was kinda right on the money for me.

I have a tendency to read emails, then think I Answered them. The same with txt messages. It's not I didn't remember, I just thought I did.

Anyone else have this problem? Please answer here, or I might forget.😕🤗💕

Yes! Nothing sticks any more. I have trouble with memory and concentration. It seems to make everything more difficult. Even with my phone calendar and tons of reminders, I forget lots. I used to love reading, but find it’s hard to do now.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to greaterexp]

Mine seems to be concentrating! My add gets in the way of my ocd which gets in the way of boredom which gets in the way of.. ohhh look Amazon, no JoAnns can I make that?..... Ugh

Like luvhair i used to read 2 books a week and remember what I had read but now I have 10 books on kindle not even opened. I do try, I can read these short posts but I cannot read long ones, I try but I get half way through and I have forgotten what the post is about. Blessings Jimeka hope the recovery is going well.

I'm lucky to keep track of what day it is, let alone read a long post. Then to answer it? I will form the thought, then lose it. Then think all over again. 🤣😂

[luvhair in reply to jimeka]

I really wonder why is it the ms or some meds

[luvhair in reply to jimeka]

I was unable to read for about 3 years. I've just recently been able to read again and I'm taking full advantage. No, I can't always remember great parts of what I've read but I'm enjoying it so have decided to not let that stop me.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to melack01]

I'm so glad that you are able to! And sometimes you don't need to remember the middle! 😊 How are you? 💕🌠🤗

[melack01 in reply to Jesmcd2]

I've been doing okay. I use a cane more than I used to, still having cognitive difficulties, but at least for now my incontinence is gone. My husband and I are trying to lose weight and get more exercise. Good bye to chocolate for now!

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to melack01]

It's good to hear from you melack01 sry to hear about the cognitive difficulties. They are no fun, this I Know! I have been playing a memory card game a few times a day. I think it helps. My Dr says it does. And doesn't hurt.

The thing about diets is they are made to be broken. If you deny yourself chocolate, your going to want it more. Sooo, I say have a piece. But just one!

Besides life is too short! 😉

If you are tired, going through fatique.. a little stressed sometimes that has a lot to do with concenstrating while reading. Distraction may not be related to MS, I never could tolerate noisy classrooms even in my youth. I blame "Brain Fog" while reading with me from our food and addictives used as a possible problem! Now we see commercials on T.V. for everyone in their late 40 to 50(ish) group for Cognium Vitamins for memory health. Enjoy your books, and be encouraged, highlight key points (just a suggestion) I do sometimes with long reads. Michelle Obama's Book was Awesome ...but extremely long and decided to challenge myself to finish it in one week; nope Try two!

Be Blessed
