JEDNA OD NAJPOZNATIJIH GLUMICA ŠOKIRALA OBOŽAVATELJE Dijagnosticirali su mi neizlječivu bolest. Padam, stvari mi ispadaju iz ruke, postala sam invalid

Američka glumica Selma Blair otkrila je u objavi na Instagramu da joj je dijagnosticirana multipla skleroza.

46-godišnja zvijezda 'Opasnih namjera' dijagnozu je saznala u kolovozu, no simptome osjeća već godinama.

- Ja sam invalid. Ponekad padnem. Stvari mi ispadaju iz ruke, napisala je Selma nazvavši tu vijest šokantnom u početku.

Multipla skleroza je neizlječiva bolest koja utječe na mozak i leđnu moždinu te izaziva probleme s vidom, ravnotežom i kontrolom mišića.

Tri puta je češća kod žena nego kod muškaraca, a najčešće se javlja kod osoba između 20 i 30 godina.

Uzrok ove bolesti još uvijek nije poznat.

Blair, koja ima angažman u Netflixovoj seriji 'Another Life', kaže da joj je uvelike pomogla kostimografkinja Allisa Swanson koja ju je i potaknula da o svojoj bolesti javno progovori.

U objavi na Instagramu također je rekla da se nada kako će njezine riječi dati nadu i drugima koji se bore s ovim stanjem.

Unatoč lošim vijestima, glumica kaže da je odahnula kad je napokon doznala što joj je.

- Moje sjećanje je pomalo maglovito. Moja lijeva strana traži smjernice od pokvarenog GPS-a. No, ide nekako. Želim se ponovno igrati sa svojim sinom. Želim šetati ulicom i jahati konja. Imam multiplu sklerozu i dobro sam, napisala je Selma.

I was in this wardrobe fitting two days ago. And I am in the deepest gratitude. So profound, it is, I have decided to share. The brilliant costumer #Allisaswanson 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. I have #multiplesclerosis . I am in an exacerbation. By the grace of the lord, and will power and the understanding producers at Netflix , I have a job. A wonderful job. 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 . And I laugh and I don’t know exactly what I will do precisely but I will do my best. Since my diagnosis at ten thirty pm on The night of August 16, I have had love and support from my friends , especially @jaime_king @sarahmgellar @realfreddieprinze @tarasubkoff @noah.d.newman . My producers #noreenhalpern who assured me that everyone has something. #chrisregina #aaronmartin and every crew member... thank you. I am in the thick of it but I hope to give some hope to others. And even to myself. You can’t get help unless you ask. It can be overwhelming in the beginning. You want to sleep. You always want to sleep. So I don’t have answers. You see, I want to sleep. But I am a forthcoming person and I want my life to be full somehow. I want to play with my son again. I want to walk down the street and ride my horse. I have MS and I am ok. But if you see me , dropping crap all over the street, feel free to help me pick it up. It takes a whole day for me alone. Thank you and may we all know good days amongst the challenges. And the biggest thanks to @elizberkley who forced me to see her brother #drjasonberkley who gave me this diagnosis after finding lesions on that mri. I have had symptoms for years but was never taken seriously until I fell down in front of him trying to sort out what I thought was a pinched nerve. I have probably had this incurable disease for 15 years at least. And I am relieved to at least know. And share. my instagram family... you know who you are.

Za ovu bolest nema lijeka, no postoje tretmani koji olakšavaju simptome. To uključuje lijekove protiv bolova i upale živaca, fizikalnu terapiju za opuštanje mišića te lijekove koji usporavaju napredak bolesti.

Nakon njezine objave, Blair su podržali mnogi koji također žive s tim stanjem. Među ostalima i novinarka Victoria Brownworth koja joj je zahvalila što je demistificirala tu bolest.

- Meni je MS dijagnosticiran s 30 godina. U potpunosti se mogu poistovjetiti sa Selmom, napisala je Victoria.

Glumica i aktivistica Rose McGowan poželjela je Selmi sve najbolje te naglasila kako je njezin hrabri istup pomogao mnogim oboljelima.

I was dxd with MS at 30.
I can so relate to how #SelmaBlair feels.
I am grateful to all celebs who share their dx stories.
They help demystify #disability & broaden awareness. #CripTheVote
