ABSTRACT
This patient narrative by Richard Higgins with Maureen Hennessey describes Richard's journey learning to live with a chronic and progressive illness. It begins with Richard's diagnosis and shares many of the lessons learned along the way. Richard copes daily with this condition, relying on the support and expertise of his wife and the treatment team he has assembled, while also encouragingly drawing on the skills and knowledge gained as a longtime running coach. Clinical commentary is provided at the article's conclusion, drafted by Richard's friend, Maureen Hennessey, PhD, CPCC, CPHQ, offering observations about the relevance of Richard's story to participatory medicine, and suggesting pertinent resources for patients and health care professionals.
