Podcast: The impact of cognitive symptoms on patient engagement with care
Cognitive symptoms can affect many people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) in everyday life. In this podcast episode of RealTalk MS, Dr Sarah Morrow and Paola Kruger share with Jon Strum how PwMS can work together with their doctors to develop an open discussion about cognition and MS.

Paola Kruger is a patient advocate who was diagnosed with MS in 2010. Since her diagnosis, Paola has worked with the Multiple Sclerosis Center in Rome, Italy, focusing on projects related to patient engagement while also developing new clinician/patient approaches to managing MS.
