Cognitive Changes
More than half of multiple sclerosis patients experience changes in their cognitive functions such as calculation, attention, problem solving, focus, organization, and memory. In some cases, these might be the first symptoms of the disease. The intensity is often mild and might involve 1 or 2 areas of your cognitive functioning. Most people who suffer from these conditions can apply compensatory tools and strategies to help them function well. In very rare situations, cognitive dysfunction might get so severe that the people might not function independently anymore. [10]
