I had a psychologist assessment done a couple of months ago. It was pretty reassuring overall, apart from the usual stuff e.g. Slower processing speed. My memory is apparently completely intact and strong.

However, I have noticed since going back to work, I'm unable to remember the small stuff. I thought okay maybe it's with just new inflammation, but now I'm noticing I'm also struggling to remember information that I have known for years.

I know I'm not having a relapse as I was recently reviewed. I'm now wondering if this is the so called smouldering lesions and chronic inflammation coming into play? Is this a form of PIRA?

Just when I thought I'm going to be stable, something else crops up.

I'm still living at home with the full family.

I simply cannot hoover anymore due to how heavy and tiring it is. This is in one room, let alone many rooms and the staircase. I try to make do and use a simple lightweight broom and dustpan.

Yet my family cannot fathom the fact that no I simply cannot hoover anymore. I've explained it so many times, in so many different ways. Yet they still question as to why I never do and they call me lazy.

I wish we had a visible battery on our forehead to show how difficult a simple task can be for us.
