As I...It took me a few weeks to watch this film. As I'm sure many of you with MS can relate- it's sometimes hard to see how someone is dealing with challenging, unpredictable disease. It's hard to separate enough - to be inspired by instead of fearful of our uncertain future. Today the day was right for me to do so.. and I'm so glad to have found this window. I've had MS for 25 years (as of the day after tomorrow!) and have dealt with a wealth of challenges. Many of which I feared when I was diagnosed at 20yrs old- and never imagined I could handle. But I've found a way. And like many of us living with these two letters invisibly (and sometimes very visibly) stamped on our foreheads, we manage to get through these everyday obstacles. And people saw how brave we are, and how inspiring we are and we hold our hands up and say "what are my options?" <br /><br />Thank you Jason for your oh-so-honest film that documents this oh-so-personal journey. Thanks to Lisa for providing one of the many important resources of information and often a emotional lifts. Both of your efforts (as well as Marc Stecker and Cathy Chester and of course the list goes on) provide the community that gives us a chance to "BE". To be who we are in the context of MS... and to "BE" connected to a lot of other people who "get" who we are. ~ <br /><br />Amy G (mssoftserve.org)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500936220214961312.post-88138634970985434852013-03-20T09:01:48.988-04:002013-03-20T09:01:48.988-04:00This sounds like a film that everyone needs to see...This sounds like a film that everyone needs to see...raise awareness of MSKim@stuffcould....https://www.blogger.com/profile/03566751822418137457noreply@blogger.com
