Cognitive Challenges of Multiple Sclerosis

http://www.montelshow.com/featuredpromo/?Date=2006-08-07

On the show, "The Faces of Multiple Sclerosis," we spoke with a wide
variety of people living with MS, including author Jeffery Gingold. In
his book, Facing the Cognitive Challenges of Multiple Sclerosis, he
discusses how the "thinking" disability of multiple sclerosis affects many
people with the disease, which disconnects mental pathways in the brain
and causes confusion. Through this book, he is not only able to
document his struggle, but also to shed light on those who are privately
dealing with this disease's cognitive symptoms and potential disabilities.

Author
Kimberly Harrold was just a young girl when her mother was
diagnosed with MS, prompting her to write her book, Sometimes MS is Yucky.
Acknowledging that "...even the little people in the family have their
own big views and concerns regarding the illness...,"
Kim wrote her book
for children ages 3-8 years old. In her book, she educates children and
also provides emotional support for those who have a parent or loved
one with Multiple Sclerosis.
