It comes after last month Selma discussed her heartbreaking MS relapse during a candid chat on the Drew Barrymore Show.

The star said during a past relapse she ‘didn’t want to face’ her health condition and even stopped seeing doctors.

She said: ‘I did have a relapse and I didn’t, even really want to face that. 

‘So the first thing I had to do was to find a doctor again because I had stopped seeing doctors because I thought I was fine but then I didn’t feel fine it turned out I did have a relapse and so I, I found a doctor that could, really listen to me and it was a female doctor and that really helped me just so many different things I wasn’t aware of. 

‘So this is just to encourage people to start talking about it.’

Elsewhere in the chat, the pair discussed dating while parenting their young children.

Drew, 49, who split from husband Will Kopelman in 2016, said: ‘I feel like funny enough in dating also I have I’ve also taken that measurement of kind of how forward, open, affectionate and I also have my whole life if I meet someone I go to could this work in the future for the long run and I don’t know if other women do that. I think a lot of do.

Selma. who has a son with ex Jason Bleick, said: ‘Now that I have a child, that’s all I think of, you know, normally people think, ‘Oh, is this person someone I could have a family with?’ I don’t want a family.

‘I mean, I have a family we’re not looking to start a new family, except I’m always welcome to, I always would want an addition to the family, but I’m not someone that’s looking to, you know, have a baby again. 

‘So now I just think in terms of my son, you know, and, and also again, my health, like who’s gonna understand if I get tired and need a nap and, you know, because people you know, we, we all have gotten really selfish, you know, so it’s hard, it’s hard to find the person. I mean, I haven’t given up on romance, but I’m not knowing how to try.’

Blair went through a risky two-month hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in 2019 in order to try and jumpstart her immune system.

The treatment was to get her symptoms under control. 

Speaking in a video update to UsWeekly, she said: ‘Hi. So a lot of people have been asking me how I am doing so great and my movement is so much different, and I really am excited. 

‘I want to let people know that – I’m still in remission, I’m feeling great – after the bone marrow transplant, I actually fell into a major relapse.

The star also explained that an MRI ‘lit up flare’ and showed ‘new lesions’ so she had to find a new doctor.

But she felt lucky to have found a ‘great one’ who put her on an ‘amazing’ journey with medication.

She added: ‘Thank God I found a great one here in West Hollywood, Dr. Berkovich. ‘It was just tablets. So I took that, a couple short series of tablets, and in two years your therapy is done.

‘It’s called Mavenclad. It’s been amazing and it helped my movement and speech so much, and it’s allowed me to have a great summer, great years. I need you all to know. Bye.’

She recently noted that she is glad to have gone public with her neurological condition – which affects the brain and causes symptoms, such as problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance – especially now that her fellow actresses Christina Applegate and Jamie-Lynn Sigler have also done so as they document their on struggles with the disease on the MeSsy podcast.

She said: ‘They’re being really open about their experiences. I love that they’re doing that. They’re both good friends of mine. I love listening to them hang out and discover.’
