Selma Blair, the Hollywood actress and contestant from season 31 of “Dancing With The Stars” (DWTS), has recently given an optimistic update on her health battle.
Blair’s Battle With Multiple Sclerosis
Best known for her roles in “Cruel Intentions” and “Legally Blonde”, Blair revealed that her Multiple Sclerosis is currently in remission. The actress, who had to step down from DWTS due to her ongoing health issues, took to Instagram to share the good news. This recent development follows Blair’s bone marrow transplant which has reportedly halted the progression of her multiple sclerosis.
During a red carpet event at the Tribeca Festival, Blair informed E! News, “I’ve been in remission for a while. I just had an MRI last week. No news is good news.” The Hollywood starlet had the bone marrow transplant in 2021, which reportedly played an integral role in her transition to remission.
Life-Long Health Struggles
However, journey to remission hasn’t been easy for Blair. Even since she was a child, the actress had been experiencing unexplained health symptoms. It wasn’t until 2018, at the age of 46, that she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Ms. Blair underwent a stem cell transplant in 2019, a year after her diagnosis, followed by the bone marrow transplant in 2021.
Blair also shared that she suffers from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a condition that often causes severe fatigue and persistent pain. Despite these hurdles, the actress projects a positive, get-up-and-go attitude, reassuring fans that she’s feeling “really well.”
A Positive Outlook Amidst Challenges
Blair, regardless of her health adversities, continues to appreciate and live life to its fullest. In an Instagram post, she uploaded a photograph of herself in Paris, indicating her attendance at Paris Couture Week. With a string of ways she’s been pushing against her health limitations, Blair shared, “It takes a lot for balance. But then can keep it together. I hope to get stronger…But I do believe I’m doing really well.”
Blair’s courage and strength, as demonstrated in her battle with Multiple Sclerosis and other health issues, are a beacon of hope for others facing similar troubles. As they say, “No news is good news,” and Blair appears to be taking positive strides forward, not allowing her health challenges to dampen her spirits or love of life.
As her story continues to unfold, we wish Selma Blair all the best in health and happiness, hoping that her courage and resilience continue to inspire and uplift others.
