Overview

"""Through My Eyes"" isn't your run-of-the-mill book about coping with chronic illness; it's a lifeline for both the person diagnosed and those stumbling alongside them. In the first part, the author shares their no-bullshit story. Offering a glimpse into the raw, unfiltered reality of navigating a Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis. It's more than a memoir-it's a comprehensive guide shedding light on the harsh process of diagnosis. The second part offers reflections and practical advice for individuals battling MS and how to help their loved ones grasp the ins-and-outs of MS by breaking down the medical lingo that no one can comprehend. This book gives you the tools to actually understand what your loved one is going through. ""My loved ones were clueless about what I was going through with Multiple Sclerosis. Googling it didn't do shit; the medical verbiage was way over my head, let alone theirs. Instead of waiting for someone else to bridge the gap, I decided to take matters into my own hands and write a damn book myself. For years, I suffered in silence, my symptoms brushed off, and my pain ignored. Hospital stays dragged on, MRI machines became my second home, and still, I got no fucking answers. It was in the darkest moment of my life that I finally got the truth-a truth that changed everything: Multiple Sclerosis (MS). From the confusion of diagnosis to the ongoing shitshow of treatment and management, every page is dripping with the raw emotions and hard truths of my journey."" ""This book is my reality. It is straight-up, no-bullshit, no sugarcoating and brutally honest. None of that fluffy crap about inviting readers on a journey or encouraging them to explore new perspectives. MS isn't a feel-good journey; it's a harsh fucking reality. MS will eventually end my life. No medication or treatment can change that. But there are ways to make the shitty days more bearable, and there are ways to help those around me understand. MS is real, it's not a fairy tale. I hope this book helps you see MS for what it really is. This isn't about bringing you down or making you lose hope; it's about explaining that MS isn't fucking pleasant. I'm not upset or pissed off about what has happened; I'm just telling it like it is. My story is real. Your story is real. Let's help others understand that you don't always have to pretend to be positive; it's okay to accept that MS is going to kill you."""
