Jack Osbourne describes MS diagnosis as his “scariest moment”
Jack Osbourne has written a heartfelt open letter about what it’s like to live with multiple sclerosis (MS) in order to raise awareness about the disease.
In a piece penned for People magazine, he says when he found out he had MS four years ago it was the “scariest moment of [his] life”.
At the time he was only 26 years old and had just become a father.
“I thought my whole life was in front of me – but there I was, being told I had an incurable and often debilitating illness. I had so many emotions and so many questions, and, frankly, I was terrified of the unknown,” he says.
According to the NHS, MS is a lifelong condition which can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of potentially debilitating symptoms such as problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance.
My son was 45 when he passed with complications of MS.. diagnosed when he was 31 slowly progressed into progressive MS. He had a wild and crazy life but enjoyed every minute. Began with mom I only had 2 beers of course It was hard to believe cause he loved his beer. He always laughed a belly laugh that made everyone giggle . He passed away at age 45 with me by his side..
