You know you have MS when you're freaking out because the dryer won't turn on (thinking oh great. . . . another repair bill I don't need right now) only to discover that you haven't CLOSED THE DRYER DOOR!! What a moron I am. . . . . No wonder I check twice before leaving the house just to be sure I have my pants on!!

OMG...you guys are so funny! I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. It's funny cuz I think I can relate to everyone of you.

You know you have MS when you call your grandson Bryoce (a combination of his name & my dogs name). & when you want to get his attention you whistle at him & say come here boy, come here boy.

when you misplace something, and no matter what the item is, the kids say did you look in the freezer

and my favorite is u know u got it when you get the dumb blank look from your kids, reasons for this look could be u just said something that made no sense or called the kid the wrong name or they just cant get inside my head and finish the senttence I cant finish, odd thing is 99 percent of the time they could finish but are afraid too lol

Yeah well, when you start potty training him with a dog biscuit as a "treat for going pee like a big boy," you know you've really crossed the line.

I recently found out why my son has really good teeth and hasn't needed much dental care since he was a young guy. We had a dog my son loved when he was small. The dog, Brandi, used to follow my son up to bed every night and my son would take a Milkbone treat with him for the dog. My son and Brandi would get into bed and he'd give her the treat. She'd stay with him until he fell asleep, then she'd come back downstairs. His bed was always full of crumbs from the biscuits.

Ok, that's not too bad, right? Well, I found out that he didn't just take one treat up for her. He took two. One for her and one for him. *sigh* So much for brushing his teeth before he went to bed.....

I'll see that, and raise ya.

you put on a clean white blouse, and all that work makes you thirsty.

so, you pour yourself some juice.

you're pleased because you didn't spill a single drop.

you raise the cup to your eager mouth, and miss by an inch.

you look down, and see a tomato juice river down your chest.

you're too tired to change clothes, so you decide to wear it like that.

you've forgotten ALL about the stain an hour later.

hubby comes in and FREAKS, thinking it's BLOOD.

You know you have MS when....

You notice your eyes have "gone again"....but wait, it's only one eye this time and not both. It's not blurred vision either but more like tunnel vision, and it's just my left eye.

This is a new sypmtom and totally freaked me out. I was fine when I sat down at the computer at about 8pm, but by around 9:30 pm I noticed total blindness out of the left side of my left eye!! It was like there was a white sheet clouding my vision on that side.

I sat for a while just to make sure the other eye was OK.....nope nothing wrong with the right one! I eventually decided to go tell DH who was in another room.

By the time I got there, the left tunnel vision was miraculously cured!!!

While I'd been sitting at the computer I could see the white wall in the study out of my left eye!

Did I feel silly?

I've never been so glad that I hadn't actually told DH of my concerns. There are times where he already doubts my sanity!

*snark* I think it would be hilarious! 'Bout time we started throwing language at the doctors that THEY don't understand for a change..
