Jamie Lynn Sigler

They call it kind of like the snowflake disease.

The neurological symptoms vary from person to person.

For me, I have had weakness in my right leg since the beginning.

And so that's just sort of has progressed over time.

It's like every time you have a relapse, damage is made and then you're kind of left with that damage.

And so I have spasticity where if I go from sitting to standing, I kind of feel like I get like an electric shock through my body.

I've had bladder incontinence issues in the past.

I've had, you know, I just can't physically do the things that truthfully I want to do.

And I'm not gonna lie and say that it's all great.

I have heartbreak every day about my body, especially one that I let to live in for 20 years, fully able-bodied.

But I also have now lived my entire adult life with MS.

And so it just it just comes with me every day and I have to have acceptance for it.

It's the only way that I'm able to pursue everything that I want to do in my life.

And I think that where it's been the most challenging, to be honest, is motherhood.

I think that's where I've felt the most insecurities, where I've felt

just sad that I couldn't participate in ways that I know I would have wanted to, especially having two young active boys.

What are some of the ways?

I would love to be on the field playing with them.

Like when they're gonna go down and shoot basketball hoops, I would go.

The Jamie at my core would be the mom outside doing that with them till sundown.
