Selma Blair is starring in Another Life, a new Netflix sci-fi series, but an experience getting fitted for a costume for the show led her to disclose that she has been living with Multiple Sclerosis for years.
SEE ALSO:Selma Blair says director James Toback threatened to 'gouge' her eyes out, kill herMultiple sclerosis is a neurological disease that affects the brain's ability to effectively communicate with the body by attacking the central nervous system. Its cause is yet to be discovered, but the symptoms include numbness, fatigue, involuntary movement, chronic pain, sensory loss, and a host of other difficult issues.
Blair said in her post that her symptoms have persisted for as long as 15 years, but she was not diagnosed until August of 2018.
In her Instagram post, Blair described her experience with MS as follows:
"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."
Blair's post emphasized the kindness of the costumer for Another Life, who aided her with various aspects of getting into her outfit when her disease made it difficult to move.
She also credited the producers at Netflix for giving her a job knowing that she has MS and somewhat humorously asked that people help her if she "drop[s] things" on the street.
