"I had recovery": Selma Blair proudly reveals incredible new look after MS treatment
After going public with her multiple sclerosis diagnosis last year, Selma Blair has been keeping her fans up to date with her health journey.
Through her platform, the actress has spread awareness about MS – a degenerative disease which affects the central nervous system and interferes with the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves – and advocated for those living with the chronic illness.
On Thursday, the 47-year-old shared that she shaved her head and is currently in the process of recovering from a medical treatment.
“I am being discharged from the care of an incredible team of nurses and techs and a visionary doctor who believes in my healing as much as I do,” she wrote on an Instagram post.
Blair also wrote that she is immunocompromised for the next three months. “I am excited to share this journey when I am ready. For now, I have recovery.”
In an interview with Good Morning America which aired in February, the Cruel Intentions star said she felt “relieved” upon receiving the diagnosis in August after her symptoms were “not taken seriously by doctors”.
She said, “I had tears. They weren’t tears of panic. They were tears of knowing I now had to give in to a body that had loss of control, and there was some relief in that.”
She revealed her diagnosis in an Instagram post in October. “I am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy,” she wrote. “But we are doing it. And I laugh and I don’t know exactly what I will do precisely but I will do my best.”
