Selma Blair, l’attrice rivela di essere malata di sclerosi multipla

Ricordata per essere apparsa in Cruel Intentions, Hellboy e La Rivincita delle bionde, dopo un periodo di assenza dal cinema, Selma Blair torna a far parlare di sé, questa volta però su Instagram. Una foto che ha pubblicato un paio di giorni fa sul suo profilo ufficiale ha raggelato i fan: “Sono malata di sclerosi multipla.”

Tutt’ora impegnata nelle riprese di “High Life”, Selma Blair affida i suoi pensieri, le paure e le speranze per il futuro, in un lungo post pubblicato su Instagram. “Ho la sclerosi multipla ma grazie a Dio ho un lavoro, un lavoro meraviglioso” scrive l’attrice. “Sono disabile, a volte perdo l’equilibrio, faccio cadere cose, perdo la memoria. È come se il mio corpo avesse perso il suo GPS” ironizza su Instagram la Blair. “Ma cerco di combattere, di stare in piedi e di non perdere me stessa, anche se non so cosa mi riserverà il futuro” continua. “Trovo la forza necessaria grazie alle persone che mi sono vicino, come la brillante Allisa Swanson, la mia costumista. Mi offre sempre un sorriso e una spalla su cui piangere” conclude.

L’attrice ora 46enne, afferma inoltra che da oltre 15 anni ha sofferto di sintomi legati alla malattia ma solo recentemente, dopo un’accurata diagnosi, ha scoperto di essere affetta da sclerosi multipla.

Selma Blair presto apparirà in High Life, nuova produzione di Netflix.

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.
