Has anyone else had a memory test done? I did one today and feel like I didn't do very well. Just stressed now.

Hi,
Also, even if you had a poor result, it doesn't necessarily mean you are experiencing permanent cognitive decline. It could be a sign of MS fatigue, or MS cog fog (as it's frequently called here) that tends to correlate to MS flares or MS fatigue.
Still, I don't blame you for feeling stressed. Hopefully, your doctor is open to talking to you about your test results and perhaps doing follow up testing, if you have concerns.

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Do you know when you'll have the results back? And what do you hope will come of the results? Will this be able to get you eligible for different services or medication? I've been learning that there are a lot of different cognitive therapies that are available to us, I just don't think enough people know about them, which is a bummer if they can improve daily life. Well, keep us posted as you feel comfortable, and thanks for being an active member of this community here.

Thank you. They said in about a week and a half. I also had another nerve conduct test and an EEG. My memory is so bad, I couldn't remember the president but could picture him. I have 2 degrees! I am terrified that it's dementia. The waiting is the worst!!
