Actress Selma Blair revealed over the weekend she has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Blair, 46, took to Instagram Saturday to make the announcement. The star of films like Cruel Intentions, Hellboy and Legally Blonde said her diagnosis came in August.
“I am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things,” Blair wrote. “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.”
Multiple sclerosis, commonly known as MS, is a neurological disease that happens when a breakdown in communication occurs between the brain and other body parts. Symptoms of MS include blurred vision and difficulty with coordination.
“I have probably had this incurable disease for 15 years at least. And I am relieved to at least know,” Blair also wrote in her post.
In the U.S., more than 400,000 people suffer from multiple sclerosis, according to the National Institutes of Health. Other celebrities affected by the disease include TV personality Jack Osbourne, talk show host Montel Williams and Sopranos actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler.
