Cognitive Dysfunction and MS

Speaker: Ernest Aucone, PhD

Cognition refers to a person’s ability to perform high-level brain functions and includes things like thinking, learning, remembering, and understanding. Up to 65% of individuals with MS will develop cognitive dysfunction over the course of their disease. For some people, cognitive dysfunction can be very mild and not easily noticed by those around them. For others, it can be significant and make it difficult to work or take care of things at home. Join Dr. Ernest Aucone to learn about cognitive dysfunction and how to recognize and manage this symptom of MS.

Bowel Dysfunction and MS

Speaker: Daniela Iliescu, MD

Bowel function is not something most people want to bring up in casual conversation. The topic can be uncomfortable, especially when things aren’t working as they should. But having a conversation about bowel function with your MS team is important in helping you manage your symptoms and improve your function. Join Dr. Daniella Iliescu to learn about how MS can affect digestion and ways to improve bowel function.
