She explained that she turned to a companion who also has the neurological condition — which can damage nerve cells and disrupt the nervous system’s ability to function properly — for advice on how to manage and live with it. “As one of my friends that has MS said ‘we wake up and take the indicated action.’ And that’s what I do,”“So now I ask for privacy. As I go through this thing. Thank you xo.” Her longtime friend Selma Blair was also diagnosed with MS in 2018, and has openly discussed her experience with the disease.
