Did anyone see the actress Teri Garr on one
of those news shows last friday??? I was so
shocked and surprised to see her in a
wheelchair, (i think she was dx'd after me)
I admire her still plugging away to get the
word out there about MS, my prayers are with
her

I had heard that she recently suffered a brain aynerism(sp). I think that between that and the ms, which I think she had mentioned having syptoms as early as the mid eighties, would cause her to be more debilitated.

I worked on a shoot with her a long time ago and she is a very nice and so funny lady.
I think she has had MS for a longer time then she let the world know, maybe because the insurance to be in the movie industry can be very expensive. I am not sure of this at all but I just wanted to say that she really is a nice lady for real.

I saw a brief clip from Dance to Erase MS footage from April 2007 and yes, she's in a wheelchair. She used to be spokeswoman for MS on one of the drug company support sites. I must say that when I watched it, I got quite depressed.

Reddot, that is so nice that you met her. Are you involved in the film industry in some way?

I saw here speak when she was in Toronto about 3 years ago. It's real. I gather she is progressing.

Hi Mshaiku ,
I used to be a script supervisor in the film and video biz a long time ago. I met a lot of really nice people and not that many bad ones but there were some dozies of those.I loved that job so much but such long hours .
Anyway Teri was one of the really nice ones to work with . My all time favorite person that I worked with was Robin Williams now he was such a great human .

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
