8 minutes in and i had to stop, i felt like crying. I will continue watching it later.
But im sitting here wondering if thats how my future will look like.
Has anyone else watched it?
I wanna start by saying I know everyone is different with MS. I have PPMS and have been thru amazingly intense struggles myself.
I'm really, very truly sorry for anyone who experiences what's shown in this documentary.
I have a very different opinion about what's depicted in this film. I'm sure I'll get a ton of down votes but can anyone relate to this? It's incredibly hard to tell what's real and what is showing from the actress side of her. I feel like this makes MS look so incredibly dramatic in a very different way...
Idk. I guess I have mixed feelings about what I watched... some of it just, well, idk. It's not what I thought it would be maybe? Yes I felt emotional, yes I have sympathy for her, but I think I feel like if someone without MS watched this, it may seem umm a bit more than it is?
Edit: I actually had to do some fast forwards when it seemed too much like a movie. Like a dramatized version of MS... I feel bad for saying that but it was my personal experience.
I know some people were afraid to look up this film depending on how it might have portrayed MS in a light that was or wasn't consistent with what they might have wanted to see. But Dr Beaber has a review of the documentary that I thought was very objective and insightful. He also lent his thoughts to how certain treatments or experienced were portrayed for additional context which i thought was quite useful. Just wanted to share in case anyone is interested.

I donβt really understand what she means, whether she was told that because of MS or her HSCT treatment?
I know I am! Itβs coming out October 15th in theaters. I appreciate her being so vulnerable and honest, and ultimately spreading awareness.
