FOX News’s Janice Dean has been open about her lengthy, frequently hidden battle with multiple sclerosis.After receiving a diagnosis in 2005, Dean has managed the difficulties of the chronic illness while pursuing a career in public service for almost 20 years.

She recently gave a moving speech to other people who are afflicted with the illness, calling them her fellow fighters. Her remarks were full of support, solidarity, and encouragement for people who still fight multiple sclerosis on a daily basis.According to Janice Dean, multiple sclerosis is the “invisible illness,” which is frequently misinterpreted because people who have it may seem perfectly normal on the outside.

She clarified that although someone may appear put together with their hair done and makeup applied, the reality is very different. “It’s the ‘My, you look so well’ disease,” she said.

She claimed that the illness is destroying the brain, spine, and rest of the body by attacking the central nervous system relentlessly.

Despite being the well-known weather anchor on FOX News Channel, Dean disclosed that on World MS Day, she wasn’t merely discussing the illness; rather, she was actively experiencing its effects. She acknowledged, “I’m experiencing symptoms of my multiple sclerosis today,” which made her message even more genuine and honest.

The physical effects of having multiple sclerosis were also discussed by Janice Dean, who described a recurring sunburn-like feeling on the back of her neck:

“On the outside, we may appear fine—I’ve had my hair and makeup done, I’m grinning on Fox & Friends—but on the inside, it can be really difficult.”

Nevertheless, Dean conveyed his appreciation and solidarity with those battling the same issue. Putting on a happy face can be difficult at times, but we must. And on this World MS Day, I wanted to express my gratitude to all of my fellow MS warriors who keep going in spite of the daily obstacles.
