For a while (even before the thought of me having MS was even considered) I started having problems with forgetting words. It started getting worse over the past year or so. It gets so bad sometimes, I can't even finish full sentences b/c I can't think of words I want to say.
I have also had bizzare memory problems which happen occasionally. I will do something and then totally don't remember that I did it.
Last year, I told my neuro about my memory and word recall problems. He had me to a neuropsych test. The psychologist told me that b/c I don't have lesions in my brain, the cause for my cognitive problems is b/c I have stress.
At the time of my neuropsych test, I did have a lot more stress in my life than I do now, so I didn't question the results. For the past few months, a lot of things in my life have gotten better so I am not stressed out. However, these things are still happening. I am no longer convinced that stress was the only reason this is happening.
Has anyone else that does not have brain lesions suffer from cognitive problems?
