Symptoms Julie Metni

In light of new symptoms during the year of 2017, the only way I could express what I was going though with my Multiple Sclerosis was to write about it. I had three relapses in one year, and was struggling to communicate with those around me in healthy and productive ways. Since then, my writing has developed into a book of poetry, highlighting the symptoms I've experienced over the last ten years. Look forward to another book that is also in production: a book of stories about different people's experiences with MS across Canada. These two books will hopefully help people who have MS to relate to others, and not feel alone - and to help those unaffected by it to empathize and understand how this invisible disease affects people with Multiple Sclerosis. A portion of the proceeds of this book of poetry go towards MS research.
