In all ways. A reckoning. An understanding. Of time alone. Of the help I was asking for. For my son. I could not be with him. I held this #frownyfacedolls of my son. I acknowledged it’s normal to not always have a smile. But I learned to Smile. For real,” she wrote alongside a throwback photo of her time in the hospital.

Selma Blair reveals she cried with relief at MS diagnosis after being ‘not taken seriously’ by doctors

The 46-year-old actress is now revealing the agony she went through before receiving a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) last August.

I was drinking. I was in pain. I wasn’t always drinking, but there were times when I couldn’t take it.”
