For years, Selma Blair<\/a> battled unexplained pain and crippling fatigue while doctors dismissed her symptoms.<\/p>\n

Blair revealed that despite experiencing symptoms since childhood, her multiple sclerosis (MS) wasn\u2019t diagnosed until she was in her 40s.<\/p>\n

“I was diagnosed with relapsing [remitting] MS in 2018. It turned out I probably had juvenile MS as my first optical neuritis was when I was about seven, which left me with a lazy eye from nerve damage. But there were a lot of things missed my whole life,” Blair said at the Flow Space Women\u2019s Health Summit, according to Variety.<\/a><\/p>\n

She described years of excruciating pain and countless hospital stays, while doctors brushed off her symptoms.<\/p>\n

“I had CAT scans as a kid, and I had doctor visits, and I stayed in hospitals for weeks at a time,” Blair recalled. “I\u2019d have fevers, I have pain, endless, bone-crushing fatigue that I still do have. And my mom would say, why can\u2019t you give her an MRI?”<\/p>\n

Blair recalled the double standard she faced growing up, saying, “And they\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, she doesn\u2019t need it. She\u2019s probably getting her period.\u2019 But then a boy would come in from my class who had a headache and they gave him an MRI the first thing. Now, they\u2019re not wrong for doing that for him, but it\u2019s like, What? Because I appeared OK, even though I had headaches all the time.”<\/p>\n

The delayed diagnosis finally explained years of symptoms often dismissed by doctors as mere “growing pains.” Blair described how sharing her experience publicly became a source of comfort and connection for many living with chronic illness.<\/p>\n

“I just put it on my Instagram to thank people on a set who were helping me stay at my job, because I couldn\u2019t use my hands well, I couldn\u2019t take my clothes off. I still sometimes struggle with dystonia and with speech and movement, even though I\u2019m relapse-free right now,” Blair continued.<\/p>\n

“But when I did post I saw that there was a whole world that was that felt seen or a part of being seen or could relate to someone having chronic health issues. I realized that was a comfort to a lot of people. And there weren\u2019t a lot of resources out about MS<\/a> at the time. There was so much I needed to learn. I\u2019m still learning as I live with it, but I did see that it was much bigger than me \u2026 It felt good. It felt good knowing people were feeling some comfort.”<\/p>\n

The 53-year-old actress, who first announced her MS diagnosis in 2018, revealed in April she is “truly relapse-free” from symptoms<\/a> of the chronic autoimmune disease.<\/p>\n

“I am doing amazingly well. I\u2019ve been feeling great for about a year,” the “Legally Blonde”<\/i> star told People<\/a> at the time. “But I am finally well enough to really, genuinely \u2026 I always try to feel my best, but now that I actually have stamina and energy and going out isn\u2019t so scary.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
