MS Post – Brain Fog

One of the symptoms that is getting more prevalent with my MS is what's called MS brain fog. This affected me Tuesday and Wednesday. Monday my wife stayed home from work so I didn't get out of bed till noon. That night I had weird dreams, more so than normal. I've always had vivid dreams but the dreams I had left me feeling foggy in the brain Tuesday and Wednesday. Today I'm not affected like I was and feel much more in tune with what's going on.
Sometimes I tell my wife and sons about my dreams that stick with me. I usually just tried to describe the main points. Listening to other people's dreams is usually pretty boring.
The one I had Monday night is affecting me. Tuesday was one where I went to my neurologist and he told me he would not prescribe new medication approved for my type of MS. In my dream I told him there was no reason to deal with it anymore and I decided to drown myself. This was the strangest part of the dream. As I ended up in the water I found that I could not drown myself because I can breathe underwater like a fish. I woke up pretty angry that I could not get out of MS no matter what I did. Pretty strange dream and is stuck with me all day.
I think my dreams are affected by the medication I take for their neuralgia in my feet. I take pretty much the same group of pills at bedtime as I do before my wife goes to work except I don't take Benadryl in the mornings. So I've come to the conclusion it is the drug Gabapentin that affects my dreams.
The next morning had a vivid dream about a party at my former employer from 30 years ago. There were 5 owners that work alongside of everybody. In their party they had a blackberry wine that was only for the owners and they wouldn't share it with anybody house. I got angry and left and in my dream I could walk normally. As I was walking I found a cat that had no rear legs or back and it all. It was sort of like A cat. I carried this cat and was trying to find someone who would take it home with them. It was dragging itself around by front paws but it was a very happy animal. In my dream I kept getting angrier and angrier because no one would take the cat.. This feeling stuck with me the whole day in my brain felt foggy because of it.
I would have to say MS really sucks but it is never boring. Always something new to tackle.
