Hi, I have no yet been diagnosed with MS. But all signs point to yes. I will have an MRI done of my brain tomorrow.
I have problems with short term memory loss as well as concentration. I work in a fast paced IT environment and I am becoming increasingly insecure at work because I have to ask more often "can you repeat that... can you please repeat that" and I just cant focus! I am becoming the procrastinator I have never been, only to be in the final hour and have to pull together something sub par. And the feeling that I have no control over this makes it even worse.
Things I should just hear and be able to retain I just am not so good at any longer. This has been the biggest kick for me; What seems to be the beginning of losing cognitive ability and my overall sharpness. I am researching ways to strengthen my cognitive abilities.
I have also been forgetting what people tell me lately, whereas before my brain was a lockbox. It's becoming very frustrating. I'm only 28.
