Selma Blair's book, 'Mean Baby,' which details her struggles with MS and alcoholism, became a New York Times bestseller when it was first released last year.
she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, or MS, a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. Since then, she has used her platform to share her journey and advocate for those with chronic illnesses and disabilities.
Blair told"CBS Mornings" on Monday that she was"always sick" dating back to at least her early 20s. At 22 years old, a doctor told her she had optic neuritis, a common symptom of MS. Despite seeing neurologists for her chronic headaches and fevers, Blair never considered the possibility of having a neurological illness.
"When I got the diagnosis at late 40-something it seems, I was surprised, but then I was like 'Oh of course,' and when the doctor said the first night, 'You've had this at least 25, 30 years, at least,' I was happy. I needed it," Blair said. Blair also discussed her struggle with alcoholism, and hitting"rock bottom" in 2016 after a trip to Cancun, Mexico.
