Le terrible diagnostic est tombé dans la soirée du 16 août 2018. Selma Blair souffre d’une maladie auto-immune du système nerveux, la sclérose en plaques. Plus de deux mois après, l’actrice américaine de 46 ans qui tourne actuellement dans la série Netflix Another Life a choisi de le révéler au monde entier le 21 octobre 2018 sur sa page Instagram.
Souffrant de symptômes depuis des années, la star des films Sexe Intentions et La revanche d’une blonde écrit sans tabou : “Je suis handicapée. Il m’arrive de tomber. Je laisse tomber des objets. Ma mémoire est embrumée.” Dans son long message, la maman du petit Arthur, 7 ans, né de sa relation avec Jason Bleick adresse tout particulièrement un mot à la costumière Alissa Swanson. Sans elle, elle serait incapable de s’habiller pour tourner dans Another Life : “Elle met soigneusement mes jambes dans mon pantalon, passe mes hauts par ma tête, boutonne mes manteaux, m’offre une épaule à laquelle me tenir.“
“Depuis mon diagnostic à 22h30 la nuit du 16 août, j’ai beaucoup d’amour et de soutien de mes amis”, poursuit-elle, mentionnant Sarah Michelle Gellar dont elle est toujours restée très proche depuis Sexe Intentions, Freddie Prinze Jr., le mari de celle-ci, mais aussi l’actrice Jaime King (Hart of dixie). Consciente d’être une privilégiée, de pouvoir continuer à tourner malgré la maladie, Selma Blair remercie tout particulièrement les producteurs d’Another Life.
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.

Throwback Thursday to mid August. My neck pain was so severe I finally got an x Ray. Notice that straightened neck. We don’t want that. #kyphosis #stenosis #degenerativediscdisease and this was just the beginning. Btw. Aren’t x rays fascinating? Anyone have anything to add? This is fun #c4 #c5 #c6 smushed #aging #equestrian #whiplash It is also how you can eventually get that awful hump you sometimes see with age.
