This former A- list mostly movie actress who is a B lister all of you know is telling people she has a disease when she really is just suffering from the effects of decades of heavy drug use. Selma Blair (multiple sclerosis)

She was alcohol & drug addicted for a long long time, even went to rehab a couple of times for it. I think she might have had a genetic predisposition to MS but it was most likely exacerbated by her substance abuse. There's no scientific correlation....YET but I think all substance abuse or even social substance users are playing with the roulette wheel. We don't know enough about the body & the reactions to substances, including marijuana. People should not do drugs for recreational usage imho.

What is the point of these links?
shareWell, there has to be a likely reason why an individual may contract MS!
shareAs someone who has MS, there isn't. Other than a possible vitamin D deficiency, there is no scientific consensus. Even Dr. Zamboni's CCSVI treatment has shown to be ineffective, so doctors still don't know what causes it.
There are 4 types of MS. RRMS, which is most likely what Blair has been diagnosed which is the most common form. It's also difficult to diagnose because MS symptoms are not the same in everyone. It's also a shame that a lot of people don't know that MS can be excruciatingly painful. It's been proven that doctors have a tendency to dismiss pain in female patients, which is sad because women are 3 times more likely to develop MS than men.
The majority of people I have met with MS over the years are not and have never been substance abusers. A lot of patients get diagnosed in their late 20's or 30's. If Ms. Blair had been suffering all that time without help, perhaps empathy, and not blame are what is needed. The pain that can come from the demyelination of the nerves is like nothing I can even explain, and it's terrifying the first time it happens. It's much easier to handle when you know what's happening and there are ways to help with the pain.
I have read that one possible cause is that it is an autoimmune disease. If so I wonder if there is any research where biologic medications that are used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and Crohn’s disease have any beneficial effect.
