Exactly as Bob said.  I know one tree stand out there that is in a very small pocket of large pitch pine.  He set the stand very high and there is an amazing view.
Reelboys, my wife has MS also.  It does not affect her cognitive abilities (because of it's location) but I have heard of these symptoms that you have mentioned.  
I am guessing, but I suspect Reelboy's thoughts are clear but he is having trouble (as he said) with the organization of his thoughts into communication.  If reelboys is typical, the symptoms will subside after a period of time and he will be able to organize his thoughts into clear communication again.  I don't know if this is exactly the case but it most likely is and I'd thought I'd offer this info since reelboys appears to be in the middle of an attack at the moment.
My wife has had alot of success with Avonex, although she hates the weekly injections I give her.  Best of luck Reelboys and don't feel hesitant about posting now that we know what's up.
