I'm hopeful my next new doctor another neurologist will be able to help diagnose me. It's horrible that women are treated as if it were the 1800's still for years. It's not only the male doctors either. For goodness sakes!! I'm so glad some of us can find help online, either social networking, reading, but not too much, lots of misinformation out there, and just learn ourselves and about ourselves when things just aren't right with us. Women's intuition is the best sign, somethings wrong. I'm definitely going with mine from now on. So thankful for people like Selma Blair to allow herself to be her true self and message with the rest of us so humbly. Bravo!!

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.

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!

Such an emotional interview. I am so proud that she did it at such a vulnerable time during her illness. She brought something to my attention about it and it just made want to cry. She was stunning on the red carpet but holding her arm up, I just thought, "wow, I know how painful that must be" but without her story it's just a gorgeous, healthy looking woman. Now we know behind that gorgeous image is an amazing, strong, compassionate and kind woman who will persevere and raise awareness about MS and how hard it is to find someone to just listen to what you're going through, help you get the care and treatment you need to live a real life. Raising awareness is all we can do and people like Selma Blair and Michael J. Fox are inspirations for people living with these illnesses. God bless them through out their journeys and keep faith always!

I’m just naturally possibly naively, someone who has a positive outlook on everything. I’ve been saying from the beginning that science and research can only get better. Thanks for your kind words, I hope you’re doing well! Xx

Goes to show even though she’s famous and rich, doctors don’t treat women seriously (or anyone seriously) when the patient knows something is wrong. Thanks for raising awareness! PS for a 46 y/o, she looks awesome!!!

She said it herself, it's a condition that manifests in so many different ways that it's a difficult diagnosis to make. I believe she felt as though she was not taken seriously and that may well be the case, but it may also be that a physician has to rule out other more common diagnoses first. A patient doesn't just show up and get diagnosed with MS right away, it doesn't work like that. Lots of conditions can cause similar symptoms and must be ruled out first because they are more likely or happen more commonly. On top of that, MS is a disease where the symptoms come and go so it's difficult to correlate what a patient reports are the symptoms vs what can be observed by a physician during an exam. Narrowing down the differential, especially in a neurologic condition, is a tedious process. I wouldn't jump right out and blame doctors for being unsympathetic.

@stevenn8449

@@Abstract852 Even celebrities still generally pay for their medical visits with insurance. Insurance companies have to approve an exam before the they will pay for it, especially one as expensive as an MRI. The doctor has to show specific indications for why the test should be done and also show that other treatment options have failed to give the patient relief. If a person wants to pay for the test out of pocket then that's one thing, but there are a lot of hoops to jump through when dealing with insurance companies (this includes not only private insurance, but also government-sponsored medical programs as well). It sucks that doctors get blamed for all the crap that insurance companies make them do.

This is such an important video to watch. Selma Blair & Christina Applegate both shedding light on the disease. I am a man in my mid 30's suffering from severe MS symptoms and still undiagnosed. Doctors & Neurologists don't want to give an MRI they just want to drug you and call it a day. I've spent so much time and money trying to get help with no luck. I had to change GP's to find someone that will listen and help me get an MRI. I had one on my brain a year ago, and it was clear and I begged them to scan my spine and they didn't want to. My symptoms have gotten a little worse but am managing them with CBD oil and chosen it over the drugs they wanted to put me on and it's helped me a lot. I still live with symptoms and now scheduled for a full MRI. I am nervous as to what they will find, for anyone else going through same thing don't give up. They will tell you it's all in your head and your stressed but you know your body. Find a different doctor that will help and listen 🙏🙏🙏🙏

It took months for this to happen. Two weeks later I was diagnosed with spiz melanoma (a rare type of skin cancer) by this stage it was it stage 3 spreading rapidly. I went through horrible examinations, tests and finical stress. A week later I was in surgery with tumours in my left arm and left breast to remove the tumours.

Again its hard to be a doctor ever day you see people with the same symptoms and they automatically self diagnose themselves with what they see online doctors look for their causes ask for multiple exam (that are costly) and at the end they dont find anything. There are lots of people who actually do that, not to say that a lot of diseases dont present typical symptoms, sometimes they manifest in different ways making it hard to know its diseases A instead of disease B. Again with this im saying doctors are not perfect they are humans just like you they makr mistakes they are not robots its easy to criticize here but imagine yourself being a doctor and knowing 10000 diseases/conditions that manifest the same way and only in later phase they are easy to detect? Again its not an excuse for doctors to make a bad practice, bcz its true some doctors are might be bad but still thats why 2nd, 3rd 4th doctor opinions still exists. Again not an excuse but before judging people (which is easy specially out of frustration) think that nobody is a robot specially when working in a lot of pressure and many hours like doctors do.

@@daminasanders3027 Generally you won't be getting an MR in a hospital unless it's an emergency situation. You would be sent to an out patient imaging center. Now if you are in a hospital you are going to be getting an MR that is fast using bare minimum protocols and parameters. Out patient facilities are usually much more thorough that is why it takes longer for the scan. If you are in a hospital there will be a medical director in charge. However, it is doubtful that they will go over the treating doctor unless you can show total negligence. More than likely you will be dealing with your general practitioner. Your best bet is to tell them your concerns and ask for a scan to ease your mind. Or ask to see a neurologist. Unfortunately you may have to go through some other testing before your insurance will approve an MRI. Now remember if your Dr says they don't want you to get the MR because of radiation concerns you may want to look into getting a new Practitioner. I've heard this so many times and I am going to tell you for a fact MRI USES NO HARMFUL IONIZING RADIATION. Once again in a different way MRI DOES NOT USE ANY HARMFUL RADIATION. Unfortunately I have heard this before and I believe that a Dr should know the difference between an MRI, a CT, and an X-ray but I've come to realize that's not the case. Also if they are not sure about contrast injection do your own research. Again Dr's don't seem to know the risk difference between MR contrast and CT contrast and they are 1000% different. Good luck!

There has to be a way that the patient can have an informed plan to spot incompetence in the doctor’s office--something like a checklist. Maybe I’ll make one.

You're right. I have been seeing my internist for two years. The only time he ever listened to my heart was the initial consultation. He hasn't listened to it since. And he doesn't listen to me either.

Judi Dipillo Confront him and move on. Doctors are not gods and should not be treated like they are. New onset atrial fibrillation can’t be diagnosed without at least taking your pulse !!

I just moved from Utah yo CA to find someone to help me. I have really bad Neuropathy in both arms and hands and now my right leg and foot. I have fallen many times due to unbalance issues. I feel dizzy and foggy most of the time. I feel like my symptoms overwhelm the docs I have seen and they just send me to a pain management doc who wants to prescribe opioids. I have been trying to find help bc I am in constant pain and depressed bc I realize I still need this body to live the rest of my life. Selma envouraged me and indpired me in this video to be optimistic even tho it has been more than 12 years of not knowing what is wrong with my body.

What a brave, strong person to be on camera talking about her journey with MS. I was officially diagnosed with what I call a nuisance , MS in 1987: It took years to finally come up with MS after a MRI showed the lesions . I was 40 years old, married with 2 young kids 11 & 12. In fact our daughter decided to become a nurse at a very young age because of my M S and I am proud to say she is the Best nurse who has three children, 2 sons who have Long QT syndrome and a daughter who had seizures. I love how you wear heels, sadly I had to give them up, but I have pretty flats now. 💕I would like to know what therapy you are on now. I wish you the best and looking forward to watch your TV movie

She is amazing and i appreciate so much that she is sharing this with strangers, basically, thank you. I am very sorry for what she is going through, i admire her so much as an actress and person❤

Who in the world would give this video a thumbs down?!?!?!? This was an incredibly moving story.

@@shesomadeline I dont think the most depressing thing is the diagnosis.. I think it was the fact that she was not taken seriously is depressing. Her symptoms could have been managed better and her entire disease as a whole. But she has a very positive spirit and her prognosis seems positive as well :)

She is SO GORGEOUS

What an amazingly strong woman!! Her flair and joy for life, despite having to spend so much energy fighting against her own body, are very inspiring, brought me to tears (and damn...she looks freaking flawless ❤❤).

I don't know why but I teared up watching this. I have Epilepsy and sometimes you're tired or your bones hurt and people treat you different when you have an illness like this. It's embarrassing and I try to stay in the house. Selma is so strong and brave and just seeing her do this interview made me respect her even more, especially being a mother.

Anyone with symptoms should look into heavy metals being an underlying issue, as MS and other autoimmune diseases and some other chronic health issues is often caused by mercury toxicity. And therefor you can only manage symptoms until you get rid of the mercury. I would really recommend anyone struggling look into the Andrew Cutler Protocol. This is the ONLY safe protocol to this date, eating things like chlorella and cilantro has made people very very sick. Please read the child recovering stories by googling «cutler success stories child» and «cutler success stories adult», nr.11, Linda, recovered from her MS diagnosis. But the best place to learn and get support is trough the Facebook group «Andy Cutler Chelation: Safe Mercury and Heavy Metal Detox». But whatever you do, never take/eat cilantro, chlorella, MSM, glutathione, and ALA/DMPS/DMSA that is not according to the Andrew Cutler Protocol, you can read some peoples horror stories by googling «Andy Cutler what not to do». Wish you all the best!

I feel terrible for Selma. I hope she gets the help she needs. I was diagnosed when I was 26. I'm now 55 and I'm having trouble walking and I'm in a lot of pain daily. I used to be an extremely social person, and I haven't been going out due to this disease. My ex left me almost a year ago and I'm now living alone and it's hard doing certain things alone. Changing the cat litter, doing my one dish and mug for tea are two chores that I have trouble doing alone. I feel like I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life.
