OK, total transparency: Nothing about Bruce Springsteen’s newest album Letter To You inspired my recent Exclusive Content essay – A letter from my newly diagnosed self to my MS self of today – for MS Focus Magazine. For real!
I just truly felt that there was a different kind of essay I needed to write and others needed to hear: A fictitious letter from my newly diagnosed self to my MS-experienced self of today.
The fears and unknowns I had back then continue to keep me grounded in the life I am living today. I encourage you to read this essay to get into the head of a person who is newly diagnosed with this chronic progressive disease and better understand what people with MS are dealing with.
