Moments like that\u2014those little lapses in memory\u2014happen to everyone, but they can feel a little heavier when you\u2019re living with Multiple Sclerosis.<\/p>\n
The attention quickly shifts. You begin wondering if it\u2019s an unfortunate side effect of the disease. If something is changing. If something is getting worse.<\/p>\n
And then comes the question: \u201cIs this the M<\/em>S or is it just something that happens to everyone<\/em>?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s not always easy to tell, and maybe the not knowing is what makes it stick.<\/p>\n Moments like this happen more often than Jennifer and I would like to, and we\u2019ve talked about that tension before, especially when it comes to cognition and forgetfulness with MS. Check out our conversation about it in our podcast episode Taking on cognition, forgetfulness & MS<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Over time, Jennifer and I have realized that not every moment needs to be fixed.<\/p>\n Sometimes it\u2019s just a pause. Sometimes it\u2019s a glance at each other. Sometimes it\u2019s letting go and moving forward.<\/p>\n This idea has been on my mind lately, to the extent that I spent more time reflecting on it in a recent article with MS Focus.<\/p>\n Read the full article here: Evaluating when forgetfulness is MS or simply being human<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Some days, it\u2019s MS. Some days, it\u2019s just life.<\/p>\n Jennifer and I, along with so many others living with Multiple Sclerosis, are learning to find our way in that space in between.<\/p>\n The post Making sense of moments you can’t fully explain with MS<\/a> appeared first on A Couple Takes on MS<\/a>.<\/p>\n
