La actriz estadounidense, Selma Blair, conocida por sus papeles en “Juegos Sexuales” y “Legalmente Rubia“, ha declarado mediante su cuenta de Instagram que el pasado mes de agosto fue diagnosticada con esclerosis múltiple.

 

La esclerosis se trata de una enfermedad crónica del sistema nervioso central y entre los principales problemas que trae consigo, son fuertes dolores, fatiga, así como problemas de coordinación.

 

Por su parte, la actriz de 46 años de edad ha señalado que sufrió los síntomas durante años. A su vez, en el mensaje que acompaña la publicación menciona, “Estoy discapacitada. Me caigo algunas veces. Tiro cosas. Mi memora está nublada”, y agrega, “Probablemente he tenido esta enfermedad incurable durante al menos 15 años. Y me siento aliviada de al menos saberlo”.

 

Actualmente Selma se encuentra trabajando en la serie de Netflix, “Another Life”, donde Blair afirmó que su diseñadora de vestuario de nombre Alissa Swanson la ayuda a vestirse y le brinda su hombro para poderse mantener en pie. A su vez, agradeció que tanto el elenco como la producción de la serie le brinden apoyo.

 

Finalmente, la actriz escribió, “Quiero jugar con mi hijo otra vez. Quiero caminar por la calle y montar a caballo. Tengo EM y estoy bien”.

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.
