Forgotten when woke up?

Has anyone ever woken up and forgot they had MS? The past few days I have woken up and forgotten I had PPMS. I tried to walk then immediately started to panic for a moment until I remembered what has happened to me. I'm curious if that's happened to anyone else.

No. I forget when I'm asleep, then it hits me when I wake up.

I have done that during waking hours!😂

When I was first diagnosed, I went to the store on a blazing hot day. I got halfway across the parking lot when I started to struggle with my gait.

I made it to a cart which saved me but started taking a cane with me after that.

The most recent stunt was when I dragged the garbage can out to the curb then could barely get back to the house as I didn't have my "support".

I don't like stranding myself but at the same time it's nice to forget about this PITA disease for a minute. :)

I've never done that, but if I'm particularly tired or startled awake there have been occasions when I don't know the date or time of day. I once called off work thinking I'd overslept, only for it to turn out to be 7 pm instead of 7 am. My boss was more than a little confused when I showed up the next day after all.

I don't wake up forgetting, but sometimes I'll leave my apartment, take about 10 steps and wonder what's wrong with my legs? Then I remember that I have MS and I forgot my rollator. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Memory problems are a symptom of MS, and it is kind of nice to forget about the disease until reality comes crashing back in.
