    My Dad was diagnosed with MS at 21 years old. He did experimental drugs including chemo to try and find a cure for this disease. Unfortunately,the chemo made him go from using a cane to a wheelchair really fast. He fought so much and helped so many with the MS society. He was the President of the MS society and even won Father of the year twice from the MS society. The disease eventually took over his whole body,he ended up in a nursing home at the age 43 years old. He passed away at 46,I miss him so much but have joy and peace that he's free from this disease and is in Heaven. He suffered so much but always had a smile on his face. He's my inspiration❤

      Hate to hear that about your wife 😞yet glad she found support from others with our crazy invisible illness . Tell her keep the faith it’s been 6yrs for me and first couple of years was my worst and was definitely a struggle and I lost everything and felt like why me? until I learned my body and MS and what it likes and doesn’t what works and what doesn’t . Tell her too do research ALL the research she can and too be her OWN advocate …because drs just want too write scripts and get paid and our meds are NOT cheap but like all meds have irreversible side effects so take heed in that. I wish her well and she’ll be well 😊 as long as she keeps a positive attitude even when it’s hard don’t stress and kick MS ass because we have it it doesn’t have US unless we let it. Much love to her and you and make sure you give her as much love and attention as possible so you too will know when she’s not having such a good day because everyday isn’t always good but have faith. 🤗🧡

      i don't have MS but i can understand living with conditions that impact your day to day and will never go away. When you said courage, i believe it. On top of the ways on which people can suffer there can be a stigma in voicing it. i feel like when people who were on the spotlight step up and share their experiences, it really can help make a difference, both for those who can identify and for raising awareness. There's definitely more i could learn about MS, so it's a learning opportunity for me. i found it really interesting listening to her talking about "natural only" then relating the instant change chemo has made in reducing the inflammation. In particular i found it courageous for her to speak when her speech is affected and to not shrink away. That's easier said than done but like she said, shrinking away.. it's tough on the soul. I fully embrace this interview. We all need to learn more about this condition IMO which affects more people than i think the average person might imagine.

I am 28 and on Ocrevus for my MS, was diagnosed officially right before I turned 26 but my doc even agrees that I had likely been struggling w/ it for at least 3 yrs prior based on symptoms. I already have another autoimmune disease which was diagnosed when I was 20 along w/ an accident I got in that year and then a car accident at 25 and so a lot of that caused my MS diagnosis to be delayed. This video brought tears to my eyes as she is SUCH an inspiration, and then also my dad just passed away right before Christmas this past year and the last trip he and I went on together was 2 weeks before he ended up in the hospital. He went w/ me to Mayo Clinic in Rochester to try and get some more opinions and better treatment for my MS. Well the doctors were truly awful except the urologist who was a legend forsure and I was so angry bcz I also have arthritis so the change in pressure from flying tends to cause my arthritis to flair up which then tends to cause my MS to be more severe than normal (I don't get MS flairs really since I live w/ the symptoms every day) and so by the time we went to fly back home, I was so sick that I was downing double shots of Henny at the airport bar even though I don't drink much anymore bcz I thought "ill feel like shit later but at least theres my medical mj at home and in the meantime this will help me make it on this last flight without wanting to kill myself." Well now after my dad has passed and everything, I look back on that trip in a totally different light, as it was the last time I got to spend any real 1 on 1 time with my father and our relationship was garbage when I was growing up. By the time both of us had changed & thus fixed our relationship about 7 yrs ago, I was already sick to a fairly decent degree, and so our relationship was also a lot about me being his daughter who didn't feel well, his daughter w/ the one problem that he couldn't fix even as a doctor and so I felt that in my soul when Selma spoke about her mom. I like to think that my dad is watching over me and that he is part of why the Ocrevus that i'm on may not be helping a ton SO FAR, but it's improved my overall symptoms by 25% so far and it hasn't even been the full 12 weeks yet so fingers crossed it'll help even more. My mom is still alive and has always been my bestfriend and I would give ANYTHING for us to be able to go back to how we were---mother & daughter duo who joked and had a good time all the time and were both grown women living their own lives vs now where i've reverted to being a dependent essentially. Sorry for talking about myself so much it just kind of came out

    I feel her pain, in 2006 I was diagnosed with myositis, I was in a wheelchair with my head having to be strapped to it because I only had movement from my knees down and elbow down. I would drink water and it would come out of my nose. I needed a caregiver 24/7.In 2008 I did a clinical study for a drug infusion of Rutixan..Not only did it help my disease, I was able to return to work , driving, walking etc in a preschool. I need the infusion every 2 years and pray that a drug comes along to battle MS

      Im curious as i had a neurological issue 22 years ago resulting in loss of feeling in some places.
      The feeling suddenly started returning mid 2020 including muscle recovery.
      Thing is i know what caused my healing and i want to see if its the same for your friend.

    I was diagnosed with Ms in 2012 I really didn't believe I have it I woke up one morning and just fell down on the floor couldn't Walk or talk didn't understand what was going on with my body. I saw three different doctors I also had a spinal tap which caused me some side effects that never got reverse living with Ms everyday is hard "BECAUSE most people do not understand what's going on inside your head you look normal but you don't feel normal. there's a lot of things that's going on in your body sometimes you're embarrassed to talk about or also you don't even understand. Explain to people MS symptoms will go away for months for me and then all of sudden just comes back with a bang. it's a very hard disease sometimes I have very bad left side weakness sometimes I don't remember things or people if they don't talk to me for a while sometimes you feel like being alone sometimes you don't want anyone to talk to you. certain sounds and smell that bothers you environmental problems things around you people voices lots of people have different symptoms sometimes very hard for people to relate to you even if they have MS because everyone has different symptoms sometimes you struggle to talk sometimes it comes out clearly sometimes you think you're talkin clearly but it's not clear to others people so it's kind of frustrating and for me everyday I wake up to something new sometimes the house look different to me sometime sometimes if I don't talk to a person two days I forget they exist until they call me a lot of people don't understand that Ms is not just a physical it's emotional and mental disease are drained you it makes you feel depressed sometimes most doctors told me I was fortunate because I can still walk and talk in a lot of people don't get to walk and talk which I know because I took care of a lot of patients with MS didn't walk and talk but when it becomes you you struggle to understand a lot of things but I'm grateful that the days I can talk clearly and some days that I struggle I repeat things and sometimes people say why you repeating things and they don't understand that it's not something you're trying to do it just happens sometimes to get you even said something less than 5 minutes so you repeat it again.

      MS is incredibly complicated. I think that’s why we haven’t made a ton of progress. Some people can go on living normal lives and retain bodily function, but some people can lose functionality fast. I know she “came out” as having MS recently, I wonder how long she has known. The earlier you find out and get treatment the more likely you are to prevent attacks and to get to a stage like where she’s at

    I so very much appreciate Selma Blair, her courage, honesty and diligence to live the very best life she is capable of. Selma is a fighter and inspires us to keep navigating and never give up. Robin, really love the bond you made with Selma and your empathetic and sympathetic straight forward reporting style just adds to the ongoing coverage of Selma's courageous journey.

    I love to see how she fought for her life. I could not imagine anyone undergoing such conditions, must be very hard and needs a lot of fighting spirit.

    Selma I am watching your documentary on discovery + crying my eyes out 😢😢😢😢because I too have MS and I thank you soooo much for bringing the needed attention to the struggles we face EVERY DAY with this illness . It’s nowhere near easy and nobody understands it until they themselves suffer with it. I haven’t had a flare in awhile but I spend most my days just trying to feel as good as possible. You’re amazing for being so vulnerable and showing the ugly side of this because we attempt too dress it up but inside our body is fighting against us. SO FIGHT EVEN HARDER BABY !!! ❤️❤️😞😢😢❤️❤️❤️much love to you and the ultimate respect and wishing you healing in the best way possible my fellow warrior, we have MS but it doesn’t have US u proved that thank you 🤗😢❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Today isn’t a great day for me but watching this has giving me strength too GET UP and FIGHT!!!
