Can Stress Cause Memory Loss And Poor Concentration?

Question: HI,
I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MS IN 1999. I have been in remission for some time.
My mother is being cared for by my sister and myself. Mom has cancer and hospice is also assisting.
I'm suddenly having problems focusing on tasks and loosing things. Is it possible that my stress is affecting memory more than average due to my MS?
