Clay Walker Opens Up About Battle and Impact of Multiple Sclerosis: ‘I Should Be Dead’

Clay Walker worked his fingers to the bone strumming his guitar strings and spent countless nights singing his heart out in Texas dive bars before he made it in Country Music. However, every bit of sheer will, determination, and grit to make it in Country music wasn’t the hardest test he would face. In the most recent episode of Outsider’s 'The Road You Leave Behind' with Marty Smith, the “Need a Bar Sometimes” singer opens up about his battle with multiple sclerosis (MS) and the moments along the way that tested his faith.

I was seen by several neurologist, one of them was a woman that said “you have all the symptoms and lots of plaque on your brain, but you can’t have MS because you’re a man” if I’d known what I know now I would’ve asked he do men really get breast cancer or is the diagnosis just wrong and they’re faking it. I was seen 3 days after I completely lost vision in my left eye. I wouldn’t tell anyone for 3 days without vision, I was working around criminals. They knew me well enough if someone came close to me if I was having issues they would tell them to leave me alone. It sometimes works if you treat others how you would like to be treated
