Cognition complications are common with MS, with memory loss and lack of concentration being the two symptoms patients experience most often. The key to staying mentally sharp with MS is to stay mentally active. This involves neuropsychological rehabilitation techniques that focus on your cognition, such as playing memory games. These techniques are as simple as doing a crossword puzzle, reading a book, or solving math equations in your head. As a student, taking regular breaks when you are studying or doing homework is the best way to keep your concentration from faltering. Even without MS, it can be hard to stay focused on the task at hand, especially if you’re working on an especially boring assignment. In order to avoid distractions and to keep yourself mentally sharp, step away from your studies for a few minutes and play a puzzle game. Sudoku and crosswords are popular among patients, but there are websites and apps geared toward mental exercise too. Lumosity and BrainAge games are very popular, and you can access them online, through your phone, or on a handheld gaming system if you own one.

Can people with Multiple Sclerosis participate in normal society functions?

There is a very wide range of severity for different cases of multiple sclerosis; it can cause only minor problems such as a reduced sense of balance, all the way to complete paralysis. Most people who have multiple sclerosis are able to participate in normal social functions. Even in a relatively severe case, in which the person is confined to a wheelchair, it is still possible to participate in most social functions. Some social functions, such as dancing, would become impossible. But travel, earning a living, using a computer, and so forth, remain possible.
