In an emotional Instagram post, Selma Blair has revealed that she was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. “I am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy. And my left side is asking for directions from a broken gps. But we are doing it,” the 46-year-old “Cruel Intentions,” “Hellboy,” and “Legally Blonde” actress wrote.
The post is full of gratitude to costume designer Allisa Swanson, who “not only designs the pieces #harperglass will wear on this new #Netflix show , but she carefully gets my legs in my pants, pulls my tops over my head, buttons my coats and offers her shoulder to steady myself.”
Blair also expressed gratitude to Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., and Elizabeth Berkley, whose brother is the one who diagnosed her on August 16. The actress now realizes she’s been symptomatic for years and believes she’s actually had Ms for “15 years at least.
