Jul 15, 2019 by apost team

Most people know who Selma Blair is. She is a famous actress who has been in tons of movies for many years. However, she was recently taken some time to herself after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. MS can cause slurred speech and can make it hard for the person to walk. Selma is dealing with both of these issues every day.

She first announced her unfortunate diagnosis at the 2019 Academy Awards. Selma now uses a cane to help her walk. She also recently had an interview on Good Morning America. Viewers were happy to hear about her life and how she is doing. It has since been revealed that Selma is good friends with Michael J. Fox, another actor who is dealing with a life-changing medical condition.

Selma reached out to Michael J. Fox after being given her diagnosis. She wanted his advice on how he coped with his own problems. Fox has Parkinson’s disease. He was officially diagnosed with the disease in 1991.

A recent photo of the pair popped up on Selma’s Instagram account. She posed with the actor, saying that he was the best. While it has been a few months since Selma came out about her problem, she has been completely transparent about her struggles. She is dealing with deteriorating motor skills the most. She didn’t have anyone to turn to when it came to her MS, and that is when she turned to Fox for help.

She told Fox in her first message that she was dropping items and doing strange things. She didn’t know what to do. That is when he got in touch with her.

Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991. However, he did not go public with his state of health until 1998. His condition began to worsen, causing him to semi-retire. He still has a few on-screen appearances, and he also spends time contributing to the Michael J. Fox Foundation. This organization helps spread awareness about the disease and helps fund necessary research.
