Diagnosed Episodic MS Affecting Thought Process And Memory. What Kind Of Specialist Has To Be Consulted For Helping?

I have episodic MS. It is affecting my memory and how my thought processes work. My husband will ask me a question and instead of a yes or no answer, I tell a long story to get to the end answer. This has frustrated my husband to no end, but recently when I was in the hospital for back surgery, I had a session with a speeech therapist which seemed to recognize what is going on in my brain. What kind of specialist is best to see to help us both understand what is happening in my brain and is there any other help out there for me. I live in Boise, ID.

Hi, you might be having M.S, but the cause of the problem may not be that, it is not even the problem with the speech therapy, it is concerned with the way of speech.
I advise you to consult a psychologist for diagnosis and treatment. Both of you should go and he should be taught hou to tackle you with out getting irritated. Thank you.
