It made me more empathetic towards myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe movie star suffers from slurred speech and some mobility issues, but she doesn&#8217;t feel any &#8220;shame&#8221; about her symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>\nSelma &#8211; whose film credits include &#8216;Cruel Intentions&#8217; and &#8216;Hellboy&#8217; &#8211; said: &#8220;Me going through my day with my halting speech at times and then it going back to normal &#8211; that\u2019s visibility for people. I don\u2019t have shame in that at all. I know some people find it curious, but we all have something.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/selma-blair-feels-great-amid-battle-1386383.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6 October 2023 Selma Blair feels &#8220;really great&#8221; despite the challenges of living with multiple sclerosis.
