PHOTOSSelma Blair Ditches Her Cane For A Mobility Bike Amid Her Multiple Sclerosis Battle
Selma Blair is working through her multiple sclerosis and taking it in stride. She admitted on Instagram that her custom-made cane that she has been using is becoming too "painful" and unbearable to use and is trying to find other ways to deal. The actress revealed that she has forgone her walking skin and is now using a special mobility bike to get around.
Selma, 46, posted a snap with the inventor of the non-motorized walking bike, Barbara Alink. The After star posed with Barbara and a yellow bike.
Selma praised the genius behind the invention in a sweet Instagram caption. She started, "We met! I cannot express the gratitude I have towards the kindness and hard work of #barbaraalinker ?."
She continued, "She is the woman behind the invention, design and build of this wonderful #walkingbike. I have been without my @the_alinker_worldwhile taking care of things back home, seeing family and healing and thought I could manage with my cane."
"It became untenable and painful to my joints. So she found me. ❤️ she gave me this bike. And I took off. So many people have already stopped me to ask about it," the mother of one revealed.

Selma has been candid about her MS battle and confessed she was diagnosed in October 2018. She opened up in January about her struggles on social media. She wrote, "My brain is on fire. I am freezing. We feel alone with it even though the loving support has been a god send and appreciated. People write me asking how I do it. I do my best. But I choke with the pain of what I have lost (riding) and what I dare hope for. and how challenging it is to walk around. But my smiles are genuine. This is ok. Life is an adventure with many shards of awakening. I can’t sleep at night but daytime I have trouble staying awake . I am a grown woman holding onto a bear that belonged to a sister type of mine.”
