A atriz Selma Blair, de 46 anos, usou a sua conta no Instagram para revelar que lhe foi diagnosticada esclerose múltipla.

"Estava a fazer uma prova de guarda-roupa há dois dias. A brilhante costureira Allisa Swanson não só desenha as peças que vou usar numa nova série da Netflix, como me veste as calças, as camisolas, abotoa os meus casacos e oferece os ombros para eu me apoiar. Tenho esclerose múltipla."

É assim que Selma Blai partilha com os seus seguidores o terrível diagnóstico recebido este verão.

"Estou imersa nisto, mas espero dar alguma esperança aos outros. E até a mim mesma (...) "Graças ao Senhor e à compreensão dos produtores da Netflix, tenho um emprego. Um emprego maravilhoso. Tenho uma incapacidade. Por vezes caio. Deixo cair coisas. A minha memória está desvanecida. E o meu lado esquerdo pede direções. Mas estamos a conseguir [fazer a série]. E eu rio-me e não sei exatamente o que vou fazer, mas dou o meu melhor"

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.
