Selma Blair
Selma Blair was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS)-a chronic inflammatory disease of the brain and spinal cord-in October 2018. Blair’s symptoms have included difficulty walking, speech problems, and pain, but she says the disease has impacted her mental wellbeing as well.
“There is a truth with neurogedenerative brain disease. It is uncomfortable,” she wrote in an Instagram caption. “It is a stadium of uncontrollable anxiety at times. Going out, being sociable holds a heavy price.
My brain is on fire.” Blair continues to be open about her struggle with MS in an effort to bring more awareness to the disease.
