I’m 23 and was diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS when I was 17. No reason, no family history. It’s been challenging. I was already in med school when I got diagnosed (graduated HS early and was set to receive my MBBS by 2022) and I was getting a lot of debilitating symptoms which in turn ended up delaying my education. I didn’t give up though! I’ve wanted to give up on everything and let this disability alter the course of my life but I pushed through and now I’m back in school, finished my 2 year course of new treatment and set to graduate med school by 2026! 🥳🥰💜
If she ever finds out that it might have been caused because of all the hype over the past 3 years then I suspect she'll be looking for revenge. Autoimmune diseases have been drastically increasing over the past 2 years. Just saying.
@@CRIMINAL827 No, people are getting medical procedures because of that hype. It is those medical procedures that have been giving people things like MS.
We're saving the last episode to watch together as a family tonight. It was so emotional because you can feel the emotion thru the TV which is rare. We were ecstatic when we saw Katey Segal appear, it was a full circle moment. Just wow. We're devastated for Christina
Don’t be devastated!!! I have ms and that’s the worst thing u can say!!!!!! We will be ok! We don’t need people to say things like that!! That’s horrible
That's one of the big obstacles with ms. You can look just fine, but be suffering with so much pain and fatigue. It is so hard, some days I just don't know if I can do it.
I agree! I got diagnosed 5 years ago, and I am never going to accept it either. I am also pissed!! I have had zero health problems in my life, and then boom, at 60 got diagnosed with this evil disease!!
I’m so sorry 😢I’d be pissed too! I’m reading Selma Blair’s book right now and she’s a great writer. My new boss has MS and I want to understand the illness and be supportive. She has to retire soon from the company she started herself due to this disease 😢
@@Sufferingsassafrass it's hell! I had no idea how hard it would be. I went from a cane to a walker to a wheelchair in about a year. Good for you for educating yourself about ms. People do not understand how devastating it is.
You might never show symptoms! I’m fine and I’ve had ms for 24 years! Everyone is different! Some of us are lucky and have very few bad days! It’s not a death sentence. When someone is recently told they have it they need to hear stories that are positive, not “We are devastated by hearing this news!” Be positive!
@@cynthialewis2096 she doesn’t need to hear how bad it can b! She might just have one episode and it might get better! There are many of us who do this! I have had a bad couple of months then I would return to normal!!!look it up. It’s very common with ms.
@@sugarbear1965 I know more about ms than many, even those who have it, and yes, that is very common. I apologize for sounding dismal, but I don't need to look anything up.
I can sadly relate. I am 47 and due to a stroke and a brain tumor removal surgery, I am bedbound. I can barely walk and use a walker to go to the restroom. It is hard and sad to use a walker at 47. I have been like this my operation 4 years ago.
Sending hugs your way! I’m also 47, but afflicted with an autoimmune disease called myasthenia gravis and it also affects neuromuscular function and I am always tired and sometimes everything is hard (& I mean everything, 10 stairs may as well be 100 some days) when I go through a crisis so I can relate…I feel 85 in a 47 year old body & it is incredibly difficult, frustrating, exhausting and it took me several years to accept and learn to manage rather than desperately seeking cures that don’t exist lol! I was diagnosed in 2009 and I’m still plugging along as best as I can. Stay strong, never give up, & know you’re not alone 😻✌️
@@harmony331000 I tried the finding cures thing too! Every diet and supplement. Accepting things is hard but it’s the only choice to maintain your sanity.

My late maternal grandmother and my aunt have MS. My prayers are with her and her family. That’s no small pill to swallow, but I hope with modern treatments, she’ll still be able to live a happy, fulfilled life on her terms. ❤️🙏
I wish her to recover... I know there is no cure.. I pray she may be healthy... Awful disease... Beautiful woman.. Hope she doesn't give up on acting..
Her, christina Ricci and mila kunis in the late 90s early 2000s I thought I wanted to be them and a few years later I realized no, no I wanted to be WITH them. She was a part of my gay awakening like 15 years ago forever grateful to Kelly Bundy.
I'm very glad Christina found the strength to finish season three of Dead to Me. It is a thoroughly entertaining show, I wonder if her character Jen mirrors her own spunky, "don't mess with me" attitude.
What are you “laughing out loud” about? Yes, it is correct that multiple sclerosis affects more young and middle-aged people than elderly. Go ask a neurologist before you get on here and write ignorant and snarky replies, Kathy. 🤦♀️
@@kathykb8123 not cool with the lol I have ms,and you never know when or who it’s going to hit. It’s not funny! And yes it’s strikes 18-50 . Research before you be so uncaring with the lol
Stay pissed at MS. I have had this for decades. I changed every aspect of my diet and got off all their horrid meds four years ago and went holistic. I still have issues but my mind and body are more coordinated than they were seven years ago. The weight gain is a sign you are filled with excess fluid. Eat cranberries, blueberries and other antioxidants. Don’t eat beef or pork. Bake your vegetables sweet potatoes and broccoli, cauliflower and eat six small meals a day instead of three. You are already a super disciplined woman. Keep exercising- laugh often and know we are all sending you tons of love and the courage to keep going. ☮️🌹 AND-KEEP A JOURNAL! 🤗
Yes she’s great, nothing but Love! Now where is season 3 & how long before released? We have waited long enough Netflix, as with most decent shows you claim, it’s to the point that the waiting takes away from our the fond memories..
So sad for her and I really hope and pray she can have the best life, she deserves it and all the strength in the world for her but what I can't believe is that there's people that go to college and universities paying unthinkable amount of money to write MS instead of multiple sclerosis, like come on, stope being lazy and write the whole thing, acronyms can be used in informal conversations but you guys are talking about someone with a disease in an informative context, I get this is an entertainment Chanel but still is journalism.
Bingo, and if she ever finds out that it might have been caused because of all the hype over the past 3 years then I suspect she'll be looking for revenge. Autoimmune diseases have been drastically increasing over the past 2 years. Just saying.

@@katadam2186 I guess I will ask Harvard Medical School for a refund😂😂they’re is so many theories and science is constantly evolving & changing it’s hard to keep up. I will look into what they’re saying, thanks
@@natalievancouver8188 It’s very surprising what they don’t know; what was more surprising of how these universities and hospital research is funded and bye whom and for how long.. all I can say is my grandparents had better science in medicine.. tif you research you will realize it goes way off the rails in 1986 but the worms started way before that.. I have been listening to many older medical doctors and older nurses it’s disgusting what big business has done to these fields
@@katadam2186 yep there’s a lot of corruption & “influence “ $$ does that sadly. Especially in the USA but some countries have very specific laws to prevent that. New Zealand and Canada don’t let pharmaceutical companies advertise on tv so there’s zero influence which helps keep people from requesting specific medicines that aren’t necessarily better but spend more money on advertising. As well the amount of $$$ given to research certain diseases is sadly not fair or just. Only more $ donated. I love listening to older peoples stories things were more simple and most people were nicer.
Too bad she accepted a role in a netflix film. That turned off a lot of her fans. Oh well. As long as she had her few weeks of fame spewing girl power.
