had this moment yesterday where i’m in a work call and just couldn’t find a word. not fatigue brain fog, but like the word wasn’t there at all. i’m an accountant, i work with numbers and clarity, and i just went blank mid-sentence. my coworkers got quiet.
that scared me more than any flare i’ve had. the spasticity, the heat sensitivity, the fatigue - i can track those and work around them. but this cognitive thing? i can’t see it coming.
my neuro mentioned lesion load could be hitting areas that affect cognition, which is why we’re talking about stronger dmts now. has anyone else found the cognitive stuff way more terrifying than the visible part?
