“My yesterdays are disappearing, and my tomorrows are uncertain, so what do I live for? I live for each day. I live in the moment.” –Lisa Genova
Just published: “Still Alice, Still Angela”
In my article, I write about the film “Still Alice,” which is based on the book of the same title by Lisa Genova. The main character, Alice (played by Julianne Moore), struggles with a diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s Disease. After seeing the film again and reading the book, I noticed some similarities between Alice’s fight against the degenerative, “invisible illness” of Alzheimer’s and that of RA. In my article, I try to explore and connect both diseases while highlighting those unique aspects that unite all of us chronic illness patients (warriors!).
Both the book and film are excellent and I strongly encourage you to check them out if you haven’t already!
