have you ever?

Had to ask someone how your name is spelled?

I now have the simple problem of not remembering how to spell my name.... I will write it out and then wonder "is that it, it looks wrong... have i missed  letter in there too?"

So, I had to ask somone the other day how to spell my name. Just pause a moment and imagine that conversation...much more embarassing than the one that I have occasionally now when I need someone to tell me my home phone number.

And yes, I have mispelled my own name after staring at it for long minutes... only to return later and laugh at it when I recognize what I've done.

My spelling is atrocious... and just a few years ago I exelled in English and spelling was my thing. Now, I have letters just randomly stuck here and there and missing from many words. My memory is much worse some days than others, but never like it used to be.

Do ya'll deal with this too?

Welll..... it may not "be an MS thing".... I'm not Dx'd yet, so don't let this jar you too much. I'm still looking for answers.... and I was just wondering if this was another MS thing or not.

That is why this frightens me sometimes, when I realize how much is really changing for me... I mean, something is wrong and so far a doctor can't tell me what.

Just when I think "ok, I can do this MS thing" I come across something that really jars me like this post.  I hadn't even begun to think of the cognitive losses that are going to come with this disease. I'll try not to dwell on it because I do understand that everyone progresses differently with MS but it is still a very disturbing thought.

Have a good night,

Thanks for the comments. Always helps to know that you are not alone!

It is often there, a consant reminder that something IS wrong and no one knows what.

But.... I can't change the life I'm living right now and transport into a healthy body, so (sigh)..... smiles to all and a happy night!

first of all I really like your post name, bet you have a good spirt and smile!
, I've been able to spell my name so far. but the other day it took me 1/2 hour to remember my phone number, and even then i had to ask my husband, and then i went in to the phone, and had to ask him again as he walked in, how frustrating!!!
Never good at names, so nothing new there! spelling,wow is so bad, right, wrong, word is common!
and i"ll stare forever at a word, trying to remember what i wanted to say next to it!!!
uggggg,just know your so very not alone, and tis our brain, not our smarts!!

I haven't misspelled my own name yet, but maybe it's because I never have to write it down.  I have definitely misspelled words I know quite well.  I've also called people by somebody else's name.  That's always a fun one!
