    Keep speaking for us Selma & thank you! I feel all of this. I was diagnosed with MS in 2004. The struggle is painstakingly real.✌️💙

    To say she felt better on chemo broke my heart. I can’t imagine the pain she has to go through. She’s incredibly strong.

    She is not lying at all... I lived with hyperthyroidism for many years and it wasn't diagnosed until 2022 when I was rushed to the ER and after all the testing the doctor told me I was going through a thyroid storm! I wish more Doctors took the time to hear us. Thank you Selma❣️

    Love u Selma!! I am from India and I was 26 when i was diagnosed with MS in 2016. Living with MS for years, i cannot express my pain and problems to anyone. Each day i struggle and battle with my pain. Worst part is there is no cure for this disease. We can delay relapses by taking injections and medicines but no ultimate cure. Waiting for that day in my life when i will hear FINALLY I AM MS FREE!!

    As a fellow ms warrior, I pray for the day when we can all say “I used to have ms!” Keep fighting the fight my friend! It looks like I’m due to see a professor about AHSCT, my neurologist has obviously 💩 himself at the sight of my last mri, as I have had an unfortunate breakdown of my Tysabri; it has been my wonder drug since 2011 but now… I’m on the floor every day! Best wishes to you and all other ms warriors out there! Still waiting for my letter! I’m in the uk so the cogs turn exceptionally slowly here in Britain! Thoughts and prayer’s to all of you! 🙏🏻🤞🏻

    Selma is inspiring and a great example of using bad things that happen to you for good. I am so glad to hear her MS is in remission! I had no idea that MS could manifest in young kids. The fact she had signs something was going on when she was only seven is eye opening. On a girly note, I love her blonde bob. ❤

    I was thinking that a person would have to be extremely wealthy to get the same medical treatment that she had for MS. I am sorry that you had to beg to try to attempt to get the medical treatment that you need to feel better and you were still denied. I'm so sorry.

    Conversations of the need to be voluntary are only for honorability, this is of course! In thankfulness in inherent, thank you for your consideration. In that I'm a man, one human being person, and she, Selma Blair is a woman, one human being person, there is a commonality, of course, - God gave each of us the image and likeness of God. However, not just by "role" there are inherent differences between a man, and a woman, simplicity in a historical perspective. By and large, the humanness of God has knowledge of humanity of humanities, however, I think like a man, and Selma Blair thinks like a woman. Real life is literal in how life is, has been, and continues to be real life. In some respects, my life experience as human experience, - does relate to Selma Blair's life as human experience. Me from a man's perspective, and she, Selma Blair from a woman's perspective. That being so, the type of friendship of my keeping my life's business, and she, Selma Blair keeping her life's business, it is *like* a conversation in relation to neighborliness, of this type of relation between not physical proximity goes back human history immemorial. By real-life stories. This has relevance in the natural language texts in each Testament of The Holy Bible, of the real-life stories of characterization of human beings persons, each an individual in the texts of The Holy Bible. God being in the entirety impartial knows everything in regard to each human being person is someone God gave the image and likeness of God. God being only benevolent in the entirety, emphasis on impartiality keeps each of our business in humanity, thank God.

    I think males might be taken more seriously than females (if that's true) because they are far less likely to actually go to a doctor, so when they do, it is considered to be something legit.
