Jamie-Lynn Sigler, da série "The Sopranos", sofre de esclerose múltipla, uma doença neurológica crónica que afeta o sistema nervoso central.

A revelação foi feita pela atriz, de 35 anos, através das redes sociais.

A doença foi-lhe diagnosticada quando tinha 19, mas só agora a atriz teve coragem para falar publicamente sobre o seu problema de saúde.

Esta revelação surge poucos dias depois de Jamie se ter casado com o jogador de basebol Cutter Dykstra, em Palm Springs. O casal tem um filho em comum, Beau, de 2 anos.
 

 

Hi. My name is Jamie, and I have Multiple Scelrosis. This has been a part of me, that for many reasons I was terrified to share for the last 15 years since I was diagnosed..but I've finally found the strength to come forward and be ok with who I really am and trust that life will still have things to offer even though I have this disease. It has slowed me down and it can make things hard, but there is still a lot I CAN do. I hope I can be an example to anyone struggling out there to push through and past your circumstances. I want to thank @people magazine for sharing my story in such a huge way and allowing me to reach out. Your publication always handles stories so beautifully, and mine is no exception. And an even bigger thank you to my husband, my son, my family and my friends (who are my family.)..You all have fiercely protected me over the years when I was too scared to share this publicly, for fear that everything would go away. You stood by me, helped me when I needed it, and always made me feel loved and worthy of things even when I felt less than and different. I really am a lucky girl and I can't wait to see what life has in store for me now that I can finally live my truth Love to all of you. XX💋Jamie 📷: by the wonderful @andrewsoutham
