How is Selma Blair dealing with multiple sclerosis?

Selma said she had never felt better after undergoing stem cell treatment and chemotherapy to treat her multiple sclerosis.

While there is no cure for the disease, Selma remains proactive and focuses on the things she can do, rather than those she can’t.

“It was a really hard time in my life,” Selma said in an interview with People. “People don’t say how excruciating, emotionally, it can be to kind of prove you’re not well. But I want to tell the truth about MS. It is important to me that people see what living with a chronic illness is like.”

She still struggles with fatigue and reduced motor function, but she said throwing a football with her 10-year-old son, Arthur, and practicing jogging to the mailbox helps.

“I have a circle of people in my life who use wheelchairs who have disabilities that I’ve looked to for a lot of my grounding, for my own confidence of getting into this space,” she said.

“They’re the light bearers to me, the people in the disabled communities that are really trying to live their best lives and try and implement more change.”
