Actress Selma Blair has used Instagram to reveal she is suffering from multiple sclerosis.
In the post she details the troubles she is experiencing with the simplest of tasks, including getting dressed.
The 46-year-old actress, most famous for her roles in early 2000s films Legally Blonde, Cruel Intentions and Hellboy, said she was diagnosed with the disease of the central nervous system on August 16.
"I am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy. And my left side is asking for directions from a broken gps," she wrote.
Blair said she had been able to deal with the diagnosis thanks to the support of the cast and crew of a Netflix show she is currently filming, as well as her friends and family.
"We are doing it. And I laugh and I don't know exactly what I will do precisely but I will do my best."
Blair also revealed she has been struggling with issues related to the disease for several years.
She said she had been noticing symptoms "for years" but was "never taken seriously" until she fell down in front of a doctor "trying to sort out what I thought was a pinched nerve".
"I have probably had this incurable disease for 15 years at least. And I am relieved to at least know."
