Vaagheid 141 Posted October 21, 2018 Selma Blair, star of Cruel Intentions and the Hellboy-films, has MS. Not a big name actress but i knew her by name, she was a little bit famous in these early 2000s. So she might one too watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you never seen The Sweetest Thing, which is truly one of the great awful movies of the 00s? Worth watching with the DVD commentary where everyone talks about what a piece of shit it is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyfiona 2,657 Posted October 21, 2018 Depending which version she has she could go in a few years or 10+ years. Though within a few years she will certainly be wheelchair bound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FunkedUp 16 Posted October 18, 2019 It's experimental, but yes stem cell and chemo is a new treatment for MS - to try and stimulate the immune system. https://www.nationalmssociety.org/Research/Research-News-Progress/Stem-Cells-in-MS/Bone-Marrow-Stem-Cell-Transplant-%E2%80%93-HSCT 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote In her search for options, she was encouraged to try a stem cell transplant and an “aggressive” course of chemotherapy to restart her immune system, but Blair was wary.
