Thanks for the long and detailed answers folks, but I think Rival was asking about being from Michigan.

Re: Selma Blair has MS

I have a friend with MS and I like to learn more about what she goes through. It's hard to watch her struggle to speak, but I hope they do a follow up interview in a year to see how she's doing with a treatment plan in place.

She was dealt a bad hand.

Re: Selma Blair has MS

she does look great, but so heartbreaking. only 46. i heard that she talked to Michael J. Fox about what it is like to go through life with such a debilitating disease. different diseases of course, but similar in some common symptoms...

You couldn't help but shed a tear when she said on the red carpet it was so hard to come here.

Re: Selma Blair has MS

My wife has MS and I feel for Selma... almost the same exact thing happen to us. Doctor's did not pick up her diagnosis in time and one summer she had a relapse and spent 3 months in the hospital. I don't wish this disease on my worst enemy. There really isn't a cure and it effect people different.

For those interested, next month the 2 Hellboy movies will be released on 4K UHD disks.
SB was terrific in the role and never looked more sexy.

Here’s a truth. I feel sick as all hell. I am vomiting and all the things which are not polite to speak of. My son ran away. From me. I have to get him to school. The medical treatments take their toll. I am going to get through this. We do. This will pass. And to moms and dads who watch their kids sick on things we take to get better... I hold you. So glad this is me and not my child. I cannot imagine ever feeling ok again. #roughday. We get through. #realitycheck

Re: Selma Blair has MS

So sad. "My son ran away from me". In the absence of more info, I presume it's because he found her movements or behaviour scary. That must have been heartbreaking.
