I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis more than four decades ago. Since then, I’ve experienced the disease not only as a patient, but through the perspective of a healthcare professional trained to ask questions, look for patterns, and challenge assumptions.
Still Standing is the story of what those 45 years taught me, the setbacks, discoveries, unanswered questions, and lessons I wish I had understood much earlier.
Living Inside MS
What decades of symptoms, uncertainty, adaptation, and persistence taught me about experiencing MS from the inside.
Questions Worth Asking
Why living with a chronic illness taught me to question assumptions, look for patterns, and become an active participant in my own care.
Lessons Beyond the Diagnosis
What 45 years with MS taught me about resilience, perspective, relationships, purpose, and continuing to move forward when life changes.
Dr. Bruce Kaplan is a retired dentist and chiropractor who has lived with multiple sclerosis for more than four decades. His background in healthcare gave him one perspective on MS; living with the disease every day gave him another.
In Still Standing, he brings those two perspectives together, not to offer medical advice, but to share what decades of experience, observation, questioning, and adaptation have taught him.
