I'm glad my post brought you some laughs and smiles. My writing style is indeed my own. I have Multiple Sclerosis, and suffer from what I call "MS Brain". It's a lack of cognitive abilities due to my body eating the nerve lining. I always start out with the greatest of intentions...

It gets hard when I sometimes lose focus, or forget all together what I was trying to type.

Cog fog, or MS-related brain fog, affects many people living with MS. In fact, it’s estimated that more than half of people living with MS will develop cognitive issues like difficulty understanding conversations, thinking critically, or recalling memories.

MS-ers call this symptom “cog fog” — short for cognitive fog.

Thank you very much for answering and for all your words. I understand in part about your chronic condition; I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2004 and apart from chronic nerve pain and other symptoms of fatigue, my condition also involves things like depression, lack of concentration, memory and ability to interact, visual and urination failures.... A real orgy of symptoms, as I often say!.... Obviously, it is something different than MS-brain, but I can partly understand you.... I imagine that something has to do all this with the fact that I like so much your way of expressing yourself writing, something of me I get in that.... I send you my best wishes and energies. Thank you for appearing in #HIVE and for having also followed my account, you are a fighter with a very palpable genius, I know ... I don't write as well as you do, but I try to do better every day.... See you on the road... May the force be with you!
