Been posting and discussing comments in this thread from Healthline: Living with MS – Selma Blair’s interview – here’s my next blurt out!

Commented to another who commented off my post: could be, who knows…

I think it would of been a lot more effective if they interviewed her with people who are not celebrities, show how we struggle in our own homes, work / live with families who are not always as supportive as many think. The real stories could be hers, but there’s so much more to them then what they have televised.

To provide awareness and education, people need to see more than just a celebrity face.

For example: just this morning, I had to take a shower because I didn’t have one for one month. I almost couldn’t get out of the tub because my left leg would not just move. I was half in, half out of the tub, dripping wet, cold and very naked – saying a million prayers, God don’t let me fall, I’m naked, I don’t want to have to call 911. Then, I had to dry off, put my clothes on, fix my hair, just forget the stupid makeup, (the beautifully fixed hair she had, I had that once, sigh…) barely made it to my chair lift that I paid for, that my insurance refused to cover.

I was hungry, but I couldn’t walk because the shower zapped all my energy. Thank god, my friend came over, got my stuff together, put my washed clothes in the dryer for me, helped me with my socks and shoes, helped me unroll my sweater because it was all tangled up from dressing myself… shall I go on?

These are real-ass stories that need to be told. I applaud the recognition she has gotten, but come on, get real!
