The good news is Selma Blair‘s multiple sclerosis is still in remission

but the bad news is the Cruel Intentions actress deals with constant pain as a result of her diagnosis.

Blair, 51, opened up about living with the chronic disease in an Instagram video shared on January 30.

In the video she also shared another diagnosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a disorder often linked to MS.

“I hurt all the time,” Blair said. “I say that only for you people that hurt also. Like, I get it. And for all of us, just aging, it hurts. You have to stretch.”

But, as Blair explained, it’s difficult for her to stretch because she has been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder.

“Your muscles just aren’t as stable.”

“So, the Ehler-Danlos makes me really, really, really stiff because I’ll pull my muscles too easily and then they’re like slack and sit there. So I get some injuries.”

“This is nothing that’s like horrible, scary stuff or anything,” Blair assures her followers. “It’s just like one of those extra things that turns into a chronic thing, and you have to watch, because people think stretching’s so good for you, and I’m technically not allowed to stretch, because I’m always stretching.”

In 2021, the actress announced her MS was in remission and to this day her condition remains the same.

However, it doesn’t mean she’s not still dealing with symptoms of MS every day.

“I still get tired. I still am stiff all the time,” she said. “If I’m by myself, I do move and walk better and in open space. Still I notice, when I go out, it’s still very pronounced when I go in different rooms, hallways or meeting new people or even focusing on talking about it.”

“I just want to sleep and then get on my horse and be better,” she continued. “I’m a beginner every day, so it’s like Groundhog Day. And I am doing really well. There’s no complaining, but I don’t know if I’ll ever have the coordination or balance or stamina that I want. Still lucky so grateful. Still OK.”
