Joy In Visibility: Selma Blair's MS Journey

It took years for actress Selma Blair to find the role of a lifetime, and joy, in a shocking diagnosis. Discovering in her 40s that decades of health concerns and misunderstandings were the result of multiple sclerosis, Blair transformed her diagnosis into action. Around 1 million Americans are known to have the auto-immune disease MS, which can impact the brain and spinal cord, as well as the body's ability to communicate. Selma Blair takes Becky Quick through her journey of self-acceptance.
