Speaking arrive star On Saturday, November 22, Blair, 53, confirmed that she had been relapse-free for “a few years” and expressed gratitude that her condition had not worsened.

“What this means to me, of course, is that at this moment, I’m not accumulating more damage in my brain. I’m also making great progress in an atmosphere of neuroplasticity,” she told the outlet.

Blair continued, “I’m very, very lucky. Everyone’s experience with MS is different. I guess I do have some status (to speak out publicly). My big mouth likes to see what I can do about the stigma.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, multiple sclerosis is “a disease that causes the destruction of the protective covering of the nerves. Multiple sclerosis can cause numbness, weakness, difficulty walking, vision changes, and other symptoms.”

At the time, Blair shared a mirror selfie and wrote about her wardrobe for the Netflix sci-fi drama Another Life.

“I tried on this wardrobe two days ago. I am filled with the deepest gratitude. It was so profound I decided to share,” Blair wrote. “The talented costume designer #Allisaswanson not only designed the clothes #harperglass wears in the new #NETFLIX show, but she also carefully put my legs into my pants, pulled my top over my head, buttoned my jacket, and used her shoulders to steady herself. I have #MS.”

“My condition worsened,” she continued, adding that her symptoms were getting worse at the time. “Thank God’s grace, willpower and the understanding of the producers at Netflix, I have a job. A great job. I’m disabled. Sometimes I fall. I drop things. My memory is hazy. My left side is asking a broken GPS for directions. But we’re doing it. I laugh, I don’t know what the hell I’m going to do, but I’m going to try my best.”

Blair went on to share details of her difficult health experience in order to give hope to others battling similar issues and thank those who supported her.

“I’m in a difficult situation but I want to give others some hope, even myself,” she added. “You can’t get help unless you ask. It can be overwhelming at first. You want to sleep. You always want to sleep. So I don’t have an answer. Look, I want to sleep. But I’m a coming-of-age person and I want my life to be full in some way. I want to be with my again Play with my son. I want to walk down the street and ride my horse. I have multiple sclerosis and I’m fine. But if you see me throwing poop in the street, please help me pick it up. It takes me all day, thank you, and may we all have a good time.”

Last month, Blair spoke out about How doctors ignored her early symptoms of multiple sclerosis before she was eventually diagnosed with the disease.

“I was diagnosed with relapsing restrictive multiple sclerosis in 2018. It turned out that I probably had juvenile multiple sclerosis because I first developed optic neuritis when I was about seven years old, which caused me to have low vision due to nerve damage,” Blair said at the Flow Space Women’s Health Summit. “But I’ve missed out on a lot of things throughout my life.”

Blair recalled experiencing constant pain, fatigue and neurological problems – all of which had been ignored in her youth.

“I had CAT scans as a kid and I went to doctors and was in the hospital for weeks sometimes,” Blair said. “I would have fevers, aches, never-ending, bone-crushing fatigue, and my mom would say, why can’t you get her an MRI? They’d say, ‘Oh, she doesn’t need it. She’s probably on her period.'”
