Selma Blair’s journey with Multiple Sclerosis has involved a long history of overlooked symptoms. Diagnosed in 2018, she has suffered since childhood from optical neuritis, an inflammation of the optic nerve causing painful vision problems that was written off as a lazy eye.
The actress also experienced debilitating fatigue, headaches, and neurological signs like drop foot and movements similar to tics. Many of these symptoms were mistaken for depression for years.

Blair remains positive despite ongoing challenges and shares her story to help others with MS. New treatments have helped her stay relapse-free recently, though she acknowledges the condition requires constant management.
