Selma Blair has opened up about how getting sober was a necessary step for her to be diagnosed with multiple sclerosis after years of suffering.
In a candid, wide-ranging new interview with Us Weekly, the actress explained, "Once I knew I had M.S.—which I’d had for a while—[things] made so much more sense. And I actually became much happier. I’d had these jerks and spasms for many years, and I’d try to suppress them or keep moving or drink excessive amounts of alcohol to stop big things that I thought were mental."
