You know you have MS when....

Hi all, borrowing a thread theme from my heart site, I would invite you all to contribute a thought or two if you have any because we all know that laughter really is the best or next to best medicine!

So here's some to start us off-

You know you have MS

.... when your medications have their own mini-fridge.


.... when you know LP does not mean a long-playing record.

When you have to turn the volume down to concentrate and understand a comment someone else is making about the show or movie you are watching.

When background noise drives you crazy and you just want to scream everyone just shut up I can't understand a thing!

When you can't multi-task anymore and can only do one VERY simple thing at a time.

When you find yourself standing blankly in front of the refrigerator and you have no idea what you are there for.

When you are cooking from a recipe book, you have all the ingredients in front of you and you just can't work out how you are ever going to get through it all and finish it.

When your peripheral vision fails and someone comes up along side you and you completely freak out because you didn't see them coming and they scare the c*** out of you!

When you stare at the keyboard and can't find the letter/symbol/number/ then after a minute or two of searching you can't remember what it was you were looking for in the first place.

When you used to touch type so accurately and you now see your words on the screen typed backwards or letters in the wrong place, ( why won't my fingers do what my brain is telling them? )

You are in the Neuro's office and he says "Do you have any new symptoms?", your mind goes blank and even though you have heaps you can't remember even one.

You forget to take your list of new symptoms with you to the appointment.
You forget you did take the list and it is right there in your hand!

You flunk all the neuro's tests.

You know you have ms when you collapse to the floor, but say ,"Wow, I'm lucky that the laundry basket saved me from hitting my head on the wall!" instead of being in a panic!!  Ha Ha Ha

Have to agree with Andi on this one...I think my hubby has some sort of psychic power because when I say something like oishabollabul he knows I mean let's invite Mom over for a bbq this week!  Creepy at the very least!

But it is funny Andi...it has to be or we would go nuts right?!  hehe

...when you punch the keys on a calculator and wonder why nothing is happening on the Excel spreadsheet on your computer screen.


I'm serious, I just did it this morning when I was doing some work from home!!
