Selma Blair Gets Candid About Painful Medical Journey

The actress recently revealed that for decades, doctors brushed off her debilitating pain and symptoms, often blaming them on everything from menstruation to her personal relationships.

Blair recalled one particularly devastating moment while speaking with Kristen Welker, sharing that a doctor once told her that getting a boyfriend would “alleviate” her pain. The insensitive suggestion left Blair in tears because she "had no capability to process" the dismissive remark.

"I knew the pain was real. I thought it was," she said. "But I did start to convince myself, 'You're overly sensitive. There's nothing wrong with you. Get it together, you lazy, lazy whatever.'"

Even as she continued to battle headaches, fevers, and troubling balance issues, Blair says her symptoms were repeatedly minimized, and she was never given an MRI. Blair didn't hold back about the double standard she faced, explaining that male patients often received swift medical attention while she was brushed off as “dramatic.”

She noted that much of her medical trauma dated back to her childhood, highlighting the long-lasting impact of not being believed.

Despite the years of being gaslit and misdiagnosed, Selma has refused to let her past define her future.
