My doctor said, for want of a better word, now that we've got medicines out here that can help, let's put you on one of them and say we're treating MS.
I take one of the interferon therapies, Rebif.
I was in an acting class taught by Eric Morris, and Jack Nicholson was in the class. He wrote the script for 'Head', so all of us in the class got little tiny parts in the movie.
If there's ever a woman who's smart, funny, or witty, people are afraid of that, so they don't write that. They only write parts for women where they let everything be steamrolled over them, where they let people wipe their feet all over them.
Someday they may cure MS, that idiot thing. It gets in there and they can't get it out.
Sandy: Boy, you must really think I'm stupid or something. Jeff: Ahh, no one would call you stupid, to your face.
In addition to having a good partnership with a good doctor, you have to do some of the work yourself. Go online, read about it, and find out what you can tolerate
I have worked enough and I am happy to be touring the country speaking about living with MS to give people inspiration and motivation to help themselves.
I think eventually they're going to find out that MS is like 10 different things. I have a neurological disease something like MS, and it's MS, so let's take medicine for it
There were symptoms that I saw, and though I went to many doctors and had many tests, no one diagnosed MS.
I understand how hard it is to talk to people about MS. You don't want pity or random advice.
MS doesn't define who I am.
