Selma Blair describes the moment she received her multiple sclerosis diagnosis

When she started speaking, I was shocked and saddened.  But as she continued, I was and am inspired.  She is a powerful and beautiful human being.  Thank you Selma!

46!!!!???? That body! That face! Gorgeous!!! She looks the same as she did 20 years ago!!!

My wife has often complained that doctors don't take women seriously when they seek help.

Shame on her doctors for dismissing her symptoms. It's heartbreaking.

Has MS. Still walks around on high heels more elegantly than I ever could.

She is still rocking those heels

As a doctor , as a female and as a multiple sclerosis patient .. Thank you for raising awareness about this disease ... I was diagnosed immediately after my final year exams in medical school ... Stress play a major role in the onset of the disease . I know so many young beautiful highly educated women with MS , I hope we can have a cure for this condition in the near future .

Your voice is shaky, but your message is clear, thank you for making people with MS feel visible. An authentic role model for Multiple Sclerosis, and as a mom you demonstrate vulnerability and strength, the camera LOVES you ❤ Selma Blair, thank you for your honesty. True heroine. Love Merle ❤

You'd never appreciate the gift of mobility till you lost it.

Still wearing heels what a legend!!!

I also have MS... And like Selma, I also have Spasmodic Dysphonia in a flare up. Currently going through one right now. It's the strangest thing. Went to bed totally normal (well, as normal as normal can be when you have MS) and woke up speaking like someone is violently shaking me. I too was originally dismissed by doctors. I was told everything from I was "too young" to be having so many issues and be in so much pain, and all I needed was a "clean green diet", to "It's all in your head, you should see a psychiatrist." Pain disorders and other invisible illnesses are the most dismissed in the healthcare spere. And something needs to be done about it. I can't stand to even think about how many people out there are suffering in silence because NO ONE will help them or believe them.

How beautiful can someone be?! She’s beautiful inside and out. She rocks MS!! Hope she feels better soon!

She is ageless and just beautiful and always was inside and out. Bless you Selma.

" But I do because I love a camera" 👏😂 What a Queen. Stay strong and keep fighting.

She looks so beautiful, no matter what. This is so empowering, and she has become an iconic role model for anyone with an illness. Even being a single mom and a present actress, not all heroes where capes.

Doctor's that don't take people seriously should be suspended for a year.

She’s always been very underrated in acting and beauty

there’s nothing more soul destroying than when healthcare professionals won’t believe you when you know something isn’t right with your body, bless her 💜

It’s such a blessing for Selma Blair to reveal her diagnosis, especially for those of us with MS. So many patients looking for answers as to why balance is gone, or their legs won’t work, are humiliated by doctors not willing to take the time to listen. We just want to live meaningful lives, make a difference in the world, and care for our families. I have secondary progressive MS, so it’s a given I’m slowly becoming able to do less for myself. I pray there is a day when no one else develops MS, or experiences its madness. What a party that will be!

I love how empowering she is! Her vulnerability makes her stronger, I don’t feel sorry for her but I’m proud of her and her strength
