Since Selma Blair first revealed her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis last October, fans have been eagerly following her journey. The beloved actress has been candid about the highs and lows of her battle with the disease, and it’s clear that not every day is a smooth ride. Let’s face it, living with MS is a constant challenge, but Selma continues to inspire others with her resilience and honesty.

Recent Instagram Post Sheds Light on Her Struggles

In a recent Instagram post, the 46-year-old actress opened up about the increasing difficulty of daily tasks. "I am trying to remember to breathe. I can’t believe people do this easily," she wrote in the caption of her post from Monday, April 8. "I hold my breath accidentally for oodles of time. That is problematic." It's moments like these that remind us how tough living with MS can be, yet Selma continues to face it with grace.

Acts of Kindness Keep Her Spirits High

Selma shared that her friend and actress Jaime King, known for her role in White Chicks, sent her a stunning bouquet of flowers. “This is a huge act of love to do for someone who is housebound, people. Major. Heartbreakingly touching,” Selma expressed. “I hide in them and breathe.” The small gestures of kindness from her friends remind us how important community and support are during tough times.

She also mentioned her struggles with being in crowded places, which she has been avoiding lately. This comes less than two months after Selma made a bold appearance at the Vanity Fair 2019 Oscars after-party in February. “I wanted a special cane for #vanityfair dinner,” Selma wrote in the caption of an Instagram she shared ahead of the event. “So … @lyon_hearted went out and found patent leather and @bic_owen and he stitched it on. Hours of love put in. And then #tombachick made it especially magical. I burst into tears. These gifts to get me through.”

Sharing Her Story to Raise Awareness

When Selma first announced her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis last fall, it came as a shock to the world. Known for her role in Hellboy, she took to social media to bring attention to this "long-lasting disease that can affect your brain, spinal cord, and the optic nerves in your eyes," as WebMD explains. Selma hoped her story would inspire others and bring awareness to the condition.

“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,” Selma wrote at the time. “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.” Her courage and openness continue to inspire countless individuals around the globe.
