I love this! I have lived with MS for 11 years and it's been hell. There needs to be more awareness about this horrific disease and I love these women for speaking out about it. 🧡
I’ve lived with MS for half of my life. I’m almost 65. Some of it has been hell but most of it has been okay. I’m so happy when I see celebrities using their voices for MS awareness. I would if I was a celebrity. But there are people that don’t want to know about MS. I kinda get that but I’m also a little sad about it. Especially cuz I’ve lived with it so long. I had an old friend say to me, “Oh, you have the GOOD kind of MS!” Yes, that’s it. I’ll trade my good MS for you Nonexistent MS. Some people just don’t want to hear about it. Even though I haven’t listened to the podcast yet, I’m so glad they started one and I intend to listen to it soon.
Love this podcast. Diagnosed last year but living with for 8 years but it manifested worse last year enough to notice. I'm where christina is, angry, Ms can take away so much.
Great Podcast. Jamie has had time to deal with MS but spent years hiding it. Christina it’s new & she’s angry. She isn’t hiding it. Between the two, anyone with challenges or knows someone with, will learn. It’s like listening to the Odd Couple😂 Two gracious, honest & open Women sharing their sh*t. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Even when Jamie was hiding it her costars knew and said she was gracious for their help . People react differently to their diagnosis and deal with things differently. I hope Christina gets counseling and help to help navigate through her diagnosis and MS and it will help her throughout life . She might have a different stage of MS than Jamie does and that’s why she is so frustrated with things right now. She might need to find the right dose of medication and therapy for herself also . I hope they help find a cure for this horrible disease. It’s a cruel disease that stays with you for the rest of your life . People need to know about this disease and other cruel diseases that are crippling and cruel that stay with you . They don’t ever go away . People just think cancer is awful . Well it’s awful but these diseases are awful too . Let’s not forget about these individuals that suffer everyday, something stay immobile, suffering in pain and cannot get anywhere. And yet they are not getting any awareness from anyone. Please make more awareness for MS ❤
@@frenchtoast7742I have Crohn’s disease. I told 2 different people that had MS. Both of them said "oh, I’d rather have MS". Shocked me. I don’t tell people. I lived like there was nothing wrong & now I’m 62 & suffering the consequences of pretending I was fine. Like you say, everyone deals with it differently. I was like Jamie. Taught to never complain. I swear if I live to 90 I’m gonna COMPLAIN & being thoroughly unpleasant 🤣Take Care❤
My brother went from ER nurse to living in a nursing home in his 30s. He has no mobility, extremely slurred speech, he has enough control of his right hand to change the channel on the remote and use a phone to text as long as it isnt touch screen. He did finally get a power wheel chair after 7 years of being pretty much stuck in one room which has helped a lot. He likes to go play bingo and he has a couple friends. Life is so unfair. If stem cell treatments were readily available then i think he could live a much fuller life.
When I was younger, I always thought that MS was something that people wouldn’t get until they were at least in their 60s. I’m 43 and I discovered that one of my best friends who is the same age I am has had MS for the past several years.
Actually, people usually get MS in their 30's. My dad was diagnosed with MS when he was 48 yrs old. I believe he had it at least 2 years before the doctors figured it out.
@@tonikimpel7891 About the same story with my boyfriend. He started showing symptoms before COVID, but his then-girlfriend wouldn't let him use her car (they shared a car and she's emotionally abusive) to go to the doctor for a diagnosis. It was only after he left her and started living with me (we were close friends, now we're dating) that we finally got him to a neurologist, who told us "oh yeah, yep, he's got M.S." My boyfriend now walks with a cane, and if he doesn't, his left leg drags and he has to lean against something to keep from losing his balance. He can't feel the tips of his fingers anymore, his pinky and ring fingers barely work, and his eyes don't align when he looks around. He's hanging in there, though. I think the progressing symptoms are making him grumpy, because he's been snapping at me a lot lately. M.S. doesn't just take away your mobility - it really hinders your self-respect. What sucks is all we can do is slow the disease with steroids every 6 months. I can't help but feel that if his ex-girlfriend had given him permission to see a doctor, he'd be much more functional at this point. She got the best years of his life and prevented me from getting any of them, so aside from her guilt tripping him over everything she thought he was doing wrong, I'm mad at her for stealing what could have been a lot more functional years from me and him because she was too paranoid to let him leave the house and her behind for one frickin' hour in the day.
Food is your medicine If you eat correctly and do not drink Christina and don't use Drugs, you'll heal. Dis Ease is what you end up with when there isn't enough Discipline
Omg!! She’s a rich actress im sure she was pretty healthy & worked out & everything to be able to keep working!! Your comment sucks anyway disease can hit anyone there’s no cure for this either!!

How are you feeling today?
I have alot of respect for Christina and her raw honesty. That's not easy to be so vulnerable
I have been living with MS for 35yrs. But God is not done with me yet so I am still here! We always have hope
I pray you are doing well!!
Give your body and genes some credit.

Thank you Kelly for shining a light on MS😘
