Jamie Lynn Sigler has revealed she was diagnosed with MS is 2002. That’s what they get for The Sopranos finale. Oh, Todd. No. That’s horrible. Don’t say that. Terrible.
Jamie-Lynn Sigler says she’s ready to live her truth. The actress, who just married her fiancé of almost three years, pro baseball player Cutter Dykstra, opens up to PEOPLE in this week’s issue about her battle with multiple sclerosis (MS), which she was diagnosed with at 20 years old. “I wasn’t ready until now,” Sigler says of revealing her illness. “You’d think that after all these years, somebody would be settled with something like this, but it’s still hard to accept.”
Not that she needs me or anyone else to measure her life, but if it’s any consolation, she’ll live forever in one of the greatest shows television has ever seen or will see. Wait, Montell Williams has MS and he’s on Facebook and Twitter all the time. Neil Cavuto has MS and you can’t get him to shut up. Richard Pryor also had MS and..and he…he uhh…man, this weather in Atlanta right now is so crazy. You guys should look it up. It’s crazy.
