Many of my friends with MS also have these symptoms, and I personally, after all that I have been through, hate the cog fog and fatigue the most.
The fatigue feels like a prison, and keeps me in bed and from doing things. It brings down my spirits and makes me feel hopeless and trapped. I don't wish it on anyone, and have been doing everything that I can in my power to fight it, including eating barely anything but miso soup for nearly two weeks. My most recent attempt is my vitamin b-12 patches from my previous post. So far, those seem to be helping greatly.
For me the cog fog, or cognitive problems associated with ms come and go, and usually are accompanied by fatigue. When I have "cog fog", things that people tell me don't sink into my brain, and I feel like a living zombie. I make several mistakes, and can barely think to accomplish anything properly. I have trouble reading most of all, and understanding things that people say to me online when I get this way. It seems to be clearing up now, but has been pretty bad for nearly a month.
My heart goes out to all others with these symptoms, as I know first hand how annoying they can be. I will hopefully be able to do well on the b-12. feeling hopeful.
I haven't been online very much lately, because I have a horrible case of fatigue. When it hits, all systems shut down so to speak. For the past several days, I've been sleeping all but three hours.
So, I ordered these Vitamin B 12 patches offline. They are about the size of a dime, and can be worn behind the ear. I think I'm feeling better already, but too soon to tell. I'll keep my blog updated on the results. I really have my fingers crossed, because today, I've been awake far more, and seem way more alert.

Today, something odd happened, hence the title. I began this morning by zoning out more than usual. I couldn't manage to stay focused on anything, and I felt very dizzy. I was stumbling everywhere, so I decided to lay down and take a nap. Usually a nap always helps me feel better.
Well, taking a nap wasn't easy, because in the beginning, my youngest ferret, Boogie was attacking my head, and when he was finished, and I finally could relax, it felt as if the bed was spinning, and I was sinking into the mattress. I feel as though I passed out finally, into a dead sleep.
I woke up an hour later, fully refreshed, but when I began to walk, I noticed something odd. My legs wouldn't move properly. They work the same as they did before, but it's as if my brain has forgotten how to command my legs to walk. I am now taking small, shaky steps. I hope this passes soon. It has me feeling a bit worried.
This is just a random picture that I took this past year.
