When attorney Jeffrey N. 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. How do you handle getting lost, while driving just blocks from your home? 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 is written for the silent majority of MS patients who are privately dealing with MS cognitive symptoms and potential disabilities. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society estimates that over 400,000 people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and there are millions more worldwide. Conservatively speaking, half of them will encounter varying degrees of cognitive difficulties. Facing the Cognitive Challenges of Multiple Sclerosis brings this hidden disability into the open. It is an essential resource that will educate individuals coping with multiple sclerosis, and inform their families, caregivers, doctors and therapists. This new edition has been revised with on-point cognitive strategies and updated MS resources. The book includes a new foreword written by Dr. Dawn Langdon of the UK MS Trust and four completely 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. Jeffrey carves a path of finding physical and cognitive wellness, as well as weighing the need to accept beneficial MS medical therapies. 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. Jeffrey also shares the benefits of introducing a ?ìsafety person?Äù into a life with MS and the strength gained from helping others, even while they may be assisting you …|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/783f06be/facing-the-cognitive-challenges-of-multiple-sclerosis-jeffrey-gingold-9781936303205.jpg|9781936303205|Facing the Cognitive Challenges of Multiple Sclerosis : Paperback : Demos Medical Publishing : 9781936303205 : 17 Jun 2011 : When attorney Jeffrey Gingold misplaced his wife on the living room couch and lost awareness of his children, little did he kn …|new|1|1|98|18.95|0|GBP|Jeffrey Gingold|Demos Medical Publishing|17 Jun 2011|Coping with illness & specific conditions 9781936290932|Intimate Treason|14.99|https://wordery.com/intimate-treason-claudia-black-9781936290932|A self-help manual for partners affected by sex addiction Those who act out sexually, whether through pornography, cybersex, prostitutes, voyeurism, and/or multiple affairs, leave their partners reeling in rage, incredible shame, and isolation.

Often, however, the real key to improvement lies not in learning additional ideas and positions, but in developing a more effective thinking process at the board. In The Improving Chess Thinker, acclaimed chess instructor Dan Heisman compares how chessplayers of different strengths ? ranging from beginner to International Master ? approach analytical positions. From this, he draws lessons that will help players at each level to avoid typical flaws in their thought process and to move up to the next level. Basing his work on more than four decades of testing volunteers, Heisman offers solutions to difficult practical issues such as deciding how much time to spend on a move; what to do while the opponent’s clock is running; and when to stop analyzing a line. In this book, ambitious players will find insight into what’s been holding them back, while coaches will find powerful new teaching tools.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/3ea4d51c/the-improving-chess-thinker-dan-heisman-9781936277483.jpg|9781936277483|The Improving Chess Thinker : Paperback : Mongoose Press : 9781936277483 : 07 Jun 2014 : Expanding on the classic work Thought and Choice in Chess, the author tests players from novice to master and describes how they approach complicated chess positi …|new|1|1|3|17.90|0|GBP|Dan Heisman|Mongoose Press|07 Jun 2014|Chess 9781936270453|Words for Our Time|13.38|https://wordery.com/words-for-our-time-abba-matta-9781936270453||Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/3ea4d51c/words-for-our-time-abba-matta-9781936270453.jpg|9781936270453|Words for Our Time : Paperback : Conciliar Press : 9781936270453 : 01 May 2004|new|1|1|999|13.82|0|GBP|Abba Matta|Conciliar Press|01 May 2004|Christian life & practice 9781936294183|The Sociology of Harry Potter|18.62|https://wordery.com/the-sociology-of-harry-potter-jenn-sims-9781936294183||Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/cd16e585/the-sociology-of-harry-potter-jenn-sims-9781936294183.jpg|9781936294183|The Sociology of Harry Potter : Paperback : Winged Lion Press, LLC : 9781936294183 : 29 Jun 2012|new|1|1|999|16|0|GBP|Jenn Sims|Winged Lion Press, LLC|29 Jun 2012|Sociology 9781936268610|The Big Book on Borderline Personality Disorder|13.28|https://wordery.com/the-big-book-on-borderline-personality-disorder-shehrina-rooney-9781936268610|Contrary to popular belief, borderline personality disorder is NOT a life sentence!
