When attorney Jeffrey Gingold misplaced his wife on the living room couch and lost awareness of his children, little did he know that he was experiencing a hidden symptom of multiple sclerosis: cognitive difficulties. "Facing the Cognitive Challenges of Multiple Sclerosis" is a courageous and compelling personal account of one man's anguishing struggle with this aspect of the disease. It was written for the silent majority of MS patients who are privately dealing with MS cognitive symptoms and potential disabilities. This new edition has been revised with on-point cognitive strategies and updated MS resources. The book includes a new foreword written by Dawn Langdon of the "UK MS Trust" and four new chapters that follow Jeffrey's journey since 2006. He openly explores some MS physical symptoms, which may accompany the thinking impediments that strike at his cognitive awareness and functions. Not only did he become more active in the movement to cure MS, the progression of his MS led to a more controversial MS treatment, in effort to make his disease manageable. Whether or not a person is dealing with the cognitive issues of MS this book should be on the bookshelf of every individual who is dealing with MS.
