Persons with MS may be able to improve self-awareness via task-oriented cognitive rehabilitation

A new study of self-awareness by Kessler Foundation researchers shows that persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) may be able to improve their self-awareness through task-oriented cognitive rehabilitation. The study was epublished ahead of print on July 2 in NeuroRehabilitation. (Yael Goverover, Helen Genova, Hali Griswold, Nancy D. Chiaravalloti & John DeLuca: Metacognitive knowledge and online awareness in persons with multiple sclerosis doi: 10.3233/NRE-141113). Self-awareness is one's ability to recognise cognitive problems caused by brain injury. This is the first study of self-awareness in MS that includes assessment of online awareness, as well as metacognitive awareness........... Read More - http://www.ms-uk.org/cognition

I'm not sure I want to be any more self-aware. I already spend a great deal of time assessing how I feel and how my symptoms are at any given moment. Seems to me I could stand to be a little less aware of myself.

Yeah for real, some days I wish I could just turn it all off and not know (or care) what is going on with my body and brain.

This was the best study to spend time and money on? A major discovery here was going to improve the lives of people with MS? Give me a break!!!
