La terrible enfermedad que paraliza a Selma Blair

Por: Mendoza Post

La actriz Selma Blair (46), quien apareció en películas como "Juegos sexuales" y "Hellboy", contó que padece esclerosis múltiples. Indicó que fue diagnosticada en agosto pero que ha tenido síntomas desde años.

"Se me nubla la memoria. Y mi lado izquierdo le pide direcciones a un GPS descompuesto. Pero lo estamos logrando", escribió Blair en un posteo de Instagram.

La esclerosis múltiple es un trastorno incurable que puede afectar el cerebro o la médula espinal y causa una variedad de síntomas potenciales, incluidos problemas con la visión, con el movimiento de brazos o piernas, las sensaciones o el equilibrio.

A pesar de esta terrible enfermedad, Blair sigue trabajando: muy pronto aparecerá en el programa de Netflix, Another Life (Otra vida). 

En una reciente imagen subida a sus redes, indicó que la "ayuda profunda" que recibió de la diseñadora de vestuario Allisa Swanson la impulsó a abrirse sobre su enfermedad.

I was in this wardrobe fitting two days ago. And I am in the deepest gratitude. So profound, it is, I have decided to share. The brilliant costumer #Allisaswanson not only designs the pieces #harperglass will wear on this new #Netflix show , but she carefully gets my legs in my pants, pulls my tops over my head, buttons my coats and offers her shoulder to steady myself. I have #multiplesclerosis . I am in an exacerbation. By the grace of the lord, and will power and the understanding producers at Netflix , I have a job. A wonderful job. I am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy. And my left side is asking for directions from a broken gps. 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. Since my diagnosis at ten thirty pm on The night of August 16, I have had love and support from my friends , especially @jaime_king @sarahmgellar @realfreddieprinze @tarasubkoff @noah.d.newman . My producers #noreenhalpern who assured me that everyone has something. #chrisregina #aaronmartin and every crew member... thank you. I am in the thick of it but I hope to give some hope to others. And even to myself. You can't get help unless you ask. It can be overwhelming in the beginning. You want to sleep. You always want to sleep. So I don't have answers. You see, I want to sleep. But I am a forthcoming person and I want my life to be full somehow. I want to play with my son again. I want to walk down the street and ride my horse. I have MS and I am ok. But if you see me , dropping crap all over the street, feel free to help me pick it up. It takes a whole day for me alone. Thank you and may we all know good days amongst the challenges. And the biggest thanks to @elizberkley who forced me to see her brother #drjasonberkley who gave me this diagnosis after finding lesions on that mri. I have had symptoms for years but was never taken seriously until I fell down in front of him trying to sort out what I thought was a pinched nerve. I have probably had this incurable disease for 15 years at least. And I am relieved to at least know. And share. %uD83D%uDDA4 my instagram family... you know who you are.

"Esta brillante diseñadora... no sólo diseña las piezas que usaré en este nuevo show de Netflix, también cuidadosamente me coloca las piernas en los pantalones, me pasa las blusas sobre la cabeza, me abotona los abrigos y me ofrece un hombre para apoyarme. Tengo #multiplesclerosis".
