she has had such bad luck

[–] sslssg (32867) 2 years ago

I know the feeling

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

how are you feeling lately?

[–] sslssg (32867) 2 years ago

I'm doing okay. Thanks for asking. This time of year always kicks my ass as I'm so busy and not getting enough sleep. I'm going to be starting some neurofeedback therapy at the end of the month for pain management so fingers crossed it will help.

So sad, so unfair!

This is sad to hear but it does not take away from her beauty both inside and outside 💖

MS can do that to you.

If that's what she is diagnosed with its not good! :-(

[–] blue1981 (7409) 2 years ago

I have a friend who has MS and she's had her health issues but manages her MS well. It will eventually progress.

[–] retieredactor (824) 2 years ago

Very sad! God bless to her.

This hurts to read, she deserves the world. Hope she's doing well. 💖

My sympathis, MS just gets worse!

I hope she's well set financially, SAG offers medical insurance but well, this is America. Almost anyone can find themselves with ruinous medical expenses, such as the need for home care. No medical insurance covers that.

Isn’t there even a Hollywood skilled nursing / assisted living facility for retired actors?

[–] Otter (24464) 2 years ago

Yes, but space is limited. And it's possible the place is meant for actors who can no longer work and who don't have the resources for care elsewhere, or it may have been at one point. In the bad old days, many actors had it as rough as hell when they got old.

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

i am sure she has resources.
