"I am in pain, I am fine," the actor said in a recent interview.

In the new documentary "Introduction to Selma Blair", actor Selma Blair recounted the life of multiple sclerosis (MS), including receiving a stem cell transplant in 2019 to relieve her symptoms. Before the movie was released, Blair and Variety talked about having multiple sclerosis, her acting career, family life, and more about the August profile. Now, the publication shares more quotes from interviews, especially Blair’s recent update on how severe her MS symptoms are.

Since sharing her diagnosis for the first time in October 2018, Blair has been very candid about her disease experience. Read on to find out how she feels now after stem cell transplantation.

In an interview with Variety, Blair said that receiving a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) helped her with MS. According to the British MS Society, HSCT “is a powerful chemotherapy treatment for MS. Its purpose is to prevent the damage caused by MS by using stem cells to clear and regenerate your immune system.”

"I am in pain; I am fine," Blair told Variety Show. "I said I was in remission, and I wanted to pay for stem cell transplantation because there is nothing that can eliminate flares. This absolutely puts me in remission, which means that no new lesions have formed since my HSCT."

Blair tells Variety how the treatment changed her perspective on life with MS.

"You think,'Oh, this will be a cure.' But what is a cure?" the 49-year-old actor said. "It did what he said. It was just a time to accept my change. That was good; I was lucky. It softened my edges and my nerve damage. It was a gift because it really softened. I have created more compassion for myself and others. This is always useful."

When Blair shared on Instagram in October 2018 that she had MS, she said that she was diagnosed in August of the same year. In a variety show interview, the legal blonde actress explained that an ophthalmologist mentioned that she might have had multiple sclerosis a few years ago.

Blair talked about how doctors ignored her pain over the years, thinking she just wanted to prescribe painkillers. She also said that she dismissed her pain because she thought it was just a part of life, or she exaggerated her symptoms. "I am the opposite of depression, because I convinced myself that everything is in my mind," said the 49-year-old.

But when she was 23 years old, an ophthalmologist brought MS to Blair as a possibility. "At the age of 23, after a very big medical problem. When I was discharged from the hospital to do other things, it had already gone back," she said. "But the visual impairment has continued. There was no Google at that time."

Blair also accepted an interview with The New York Times in October and shared what she believes is actually due to MS. She said a neurologist asked her if she had ever prescribed medicine for pseudobulbar disease. "I said,'No, it's just me, what are you talking about?'" Blair explained. "She was like,'Or maybe not.' I never thought about it."

According to the Mayo Clinic, pseudobulbar affect is “a disease characterized by sudden uncontrollable and inappropriate laugh or crying.” It “usually occurs in people with certain neurological diseases or injuries. This may affect the way the brain controls emotions."

According to the Johns Hopkins Medical Center, multiple sclerosis "is a chronic disease that affects the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). When the immune system attacks nerve fibers and myelin (a type of surrounding/isolating healthy nerve fibers) Multiple sclerosis) in the brain and spinal cord. This attack causes inflammation, which destroys nerve cell processes and myelin sheaths—changes the electrical information in the brain.”

According to Johns Hopkins University, multiple sclerosis is “unpredictable and affects each patient differently—some people may be slightly affected, while others may lose the ability to write, speak, or walk.”
