When asked about hearing the diagnosis she told Robin she cried. "They weren't tears of panic they were tears of know I had to give into a body that had loss of control." She called it "relief."
"Ever since my son was born I was in MS flare and I didn't even know. And I was giving it everything to seem normal and I was self medicating when he wasn't with me and I was drinking, I was in pain, I wasn't always drinking but there were times when I couldn't take it and I was really struggling," she confessed in the interview.
