What do you think about SPMS patients having more cognitive decline that RRMS patients?

According to a Greek study, people with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) have more cognitive decline than those with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS).

The finding confirmed a long-held assumption that the more progressive form of the disease — SPMS — also involves more cognition problems. Some previous research has confirmed that hypothesis, but other studies have contradicted it.

Did you know about this possibility? What type of MS do you suffer from?

My cognitive issues started pretty early on and are the most frustrating part of MS for me. I was diagnosed with highly active RRMS in 2002 and SPMS in 2014.
