Alone: Nicole Has an MS Attack (Season 5, Episode 3) | History

[@cb7pwn]

She was the definition of tough. What a woman! No excuses and all smiled all the time

[@sparrow206]

Tough? She didn't do anything! She quit, didn't fish, wasn't persistent... she wore away....if you call that Tough? Ok....we have people in the marines.. that's the barometer

[@cb7pwn]

@@sparrow206 you dont understand the meaning of the word "tough" . tough isnt physical strength or ego...

[@KariMarie638]

You're awesome Nicole. You're so strong, and ever since I seen you let the fish go in season 2 because you had plenty at that time, it just made me LOVE you and everything you stand for. Keep being you, girl!

[@janetheteach]

The fact she even attempted this challenge is amazing to me! I watched it when it first aired and seeing it again I’m even more impressed with her spirit!

[@steph5260]

As someone with MS I am completely in awe of you !!!

[@marymatthews5727]

Maybe you didn’t know it at the time, but your honesty and openness about your journey with MS (or despite it) has encouraged soooo many people, including me. I admire your courage and determination to find joy in life. Thank you for being willing to share your vulnerability/struggles. It makes me know that I am not alone!❤

[@TheScoundrel70]

Pained my heart that this happened. Nicole was one of the few people who seemed to always thoroughly be enjoying herself and had a wide and consistent diet which made her look like she was easily cruising through her time on her first season (relatively speaking of course). Her knowledge of plants and how to use them was a big part in that. I hope she was able to get the treatment she needed and the attack was short lived...though maybe not too short or she may harbor regrets for tapping even though clearly it was the right thing to do.

@@Willis476, this is the internet, not your diary. Don't post if you don't want replies. Nicole lasted a long time in season 2 even after otters started to steal her food from her net. The above poster telling you that is not opinion. It is fact. She was amazingly resourceful, and she was thriving. She did tap out season 2 when the plants died because of winter, and otters stole her only other food source on top of missing her children.

You are so in love with nature. You have defied the odds that most people have only dreamed of doing. I......am very impressed with you Nicole Apelian. Thanking for keeping it real.

[@andreacoane4891]

I admit, I looked this up because I became acquainted with Nicole Arpelian through her ads on YT for her book of herbal remedies. I haven't watched Alone before watching this clip today (although I will certainly try to watch more as it looks fascinating!). That being said, after reading so many comments here about how she didn't have a "right" to take someone else's spot who is in superior health, I have this to say. Get used to it. She now represents a cross section of a society in which a majority of us are suffering from some chronic condition--be it cancer, heart disease, neuropathy, diabetes, MS, ALS, anxiety disorders, high blood pressure, obesity, metabolic syndrome, food allergies, asthma, COPD, addictions, depression, etc., etc. (all of whom, I might say, would need some sort of medical treatment unavailable to them in the wild). What we need to see, and apparently have seen with her in Season 2, is someone who can overcome sickness using nature even as she must fight natural elements. Isn't that what creates a compelling story? She represents all of us as there are so few people left who are in "perfect" health anymore. And while I am on my pedestal, might I say that if we want this to change, we have to change our food and clean up our environment! I think Nicole would be the first to agree with that statement.

[@guycarrwuzright7189]

I have MS and she is a hero to me! I could not imagine doing one day let alone 9!

[@jozefivanov600]

She is my favorite because of this. She has an additional obstacle to overcome and she made it farther than people who were healthy.

I have MS- and leg weakness- it’s a scary and debilitating disease. This woman is a ROCKSTAR to even be out there!!❤

I dont know you Nicole BUT I WILL give you props for going out there and doing that knowing you can have MS attack at ANY SEC!! No matter what I or ANYONE ELSE says. just for that you r a STRONG WOMAN!! Stronger then most of the women I have known most of my life. Dont EVER give up. Even if you get slowed down and have to stop for awhile. u take that break and use it for fuel for ur fire thats in ur heart. U have a VERY strong heart as I can see in this clip. Dont let me or ANYONE else EVER tell you that you cant do something. Cuz look what you proved to everyone in ur life. Even tho you had to call in. you still did all that. And youll be able to do more next time. Just take a deep breath center urself n keep pushing

[@NoGMOGod]

I can totally feel her frustration, knowing you have what it takes to win...yet circumstances are beyond your control. What an incredible woman, in SO many ways.

[@donicarobinson24]

Those that don't know, her legs don't hurt. The muscles just stop supporting her (temporarily). The most pain comes from having to be mature enough to admit you can't (right now). That pain is real. The mental/emotional scars outlast the relapse. You do you, Dr. Nicole. What were the temps/humidity/air conditions out there when this was going on?

[@denabluechicken413]

when i have MS flares my limbs absolutely HURT - it's different for everyone - right now i have severe nerve pain in my right shoulder/arm and my arm is weak but i'm not in a "flare" presently - MS sucks lol

[@TheRisskee]

I agree with everything else you said but that her legs didn't hurt. There's absolutely no way for you to know that unless she said it. What MS is for one person is not the same MS experience for another. For some it just weakness. For others it's excruciating pain. And for more, it's both of those things. MS symptoms, like most diseases with nerve involvement, can't be generalized. Yes, the mental anguish is definitely part of it. She was most likely crying from frustration than anything else.

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

This had to be painful, but Nicole can hold her head up very high. She has already proved how tough she is.I was a little surprised with two very awesome girls tapping out so quick.

[@jamal69jackson77]

For the second time this woman has come out on the show to quit. She was actually my favorite participant on her first season of Alone right up until she quit claiming her children badly needed her back home... yet here she is, leaving the children that supposedly so badly need her yet again. Why is that? How do her actions validate her excuses? This time around, she quit due to her claims of suffering from multiple sclerosis, but why does she feel the need to over dramatize her experience, just as she did right before she quit in her first season? And yeah, here comes the comments about me not knowing or understanding MS, but my sister has suffered with serious MS for years and even she doesn't scream like Nicole when she's about to take a fall because her legs give out. I think Nicole is a very capable and knowledgeable woman but I also think she's just a natural quitter and she shouldn't even be on Alone if she suffers as terribly from multiple sclerosis as she likes to portray. Why in the world would she want to be alone in the Mongolian wilderness if she's in such a debilitating state? I think being over dramatic and faking statuses are just attributes of her personality. If anyone thinks I'm being harsh or mean, notice that when Nicole cries, there are absolutely no tears coming out... that's called poor acting! Despite her clear knowledge of survival, I also think she doesn't belong on Alone.

If the producers of the show knew she had MS and knew about the pain and struggle she could go through, why did they allow her to be on the show? They've done that before with someone who had a heart condition. Ya they allow medications but still, that's dangerous and risky.

[@donicarobinson24]

They have a legal team that makes participants sign legal waivers, I'm sure. You would be amazed how many people with MS live full, productive lives and aren't wheelchair-bound at home living on assistance. A lot of people wouldn't be amazed, but you seem like the special type of person that can't do a smidge of research before typing ignorance. :-)

[@TheRisskee]

This is the second time she was on the show and she lasted 57 days the first time, why wouldn't they let her go again? People with disabilities don't need to and don't want to be babied. They're adults that can decide for themselves what they're willing to undertake and handle and if they're willing to sign a waiver, there isn't a single reason they shouldn't be allowed to be on the show. Help was only a call away and she made the decision herself to call for it. And, on top of it, this was a chance to raise awareness for how MS works. It was extremely important for people to see this. I'm not going to lay into you because I assume you just aren't aware but saying things like you did is very ableist. Unless someone is actively dying at a quick rate, none of us have a right to limit what people with illness and affliction want to do with their lives (I mean, outside of illegality, of course). We probably shouldn't even suggest to them otherwise if they want to do something because, believe me, they've thought it through and anything we suggest will be something they already thought of because they live with it and we don't. The disabled community has been fighting for years to get people to stop coddling them. All they ask for is accessibility but they don't care for our unsolicited advice or over the top concern. They have been able to accomplish a high magnitude of amazing things that weren't previously thought possible, so it would be a travesty for us to try and limit them just because we're scared for them.

[@gracekami4655]

@TheRisskee Ableist? Ok. Just to let you know my son was born with a congenital heart condition. He has a lot of issues. When he grows up, should he be on this show? You think his heart can handle this? I'm going to assume you know all about him since you pretend to know about me too. Did she win both of the times she was on the show? Why did they tap out? Credit for her for trying and proving herself. My original question was an honest one. Why allow her on the show if it can do more harm and possibly permanent damage to their body? "They sign wavers" that's a simple answer isn't it? Doesn't call for a paragraph upon paragraph answer does it? But it's your choice to be offended. Calling me an "ableist". Gtfo.😂

[@penguinpope2129]

She would have tapped this soon on season 2 if not for the salmon run. Once her no work food supply runs out, she runs out, and Mongolia didn't have it. Season 2 tap was for "love", season 5 tap was "MS", I say both reasons are BS.

[@gerfmon1]

I don't understand why they would allow someone with such a serious illness to even participate?

[@ambert9876]

She has a form of MS called Relapsing-Remitting MS. So she has on and off periods of attacks. There can be long stretches of time where she experiences no symptoms in between short periods of attacks. Unfortunately, MS is progressive so as she ages those periods of time where she has no symptoms get shorter and shorter and the attacks get longer and more severe. During the off periods, she is perfectly safe to participate in this show, albeit still an incredible accomplishment considering. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to predict when an attack will occur. Hope that helps explain it.

[@ronlevy2583]

why don't they let people bring necessary medication for existing conditions like this? Just like diabetes or alzheimer's. It would level the playing field.

[@TheRisskee]

They do let people bring meds. They let a dude with a heart problem bring his on top of the 10 survival items they allow each contestant. She doesn't use mainstream pharmacy meds, she successfully manages her MS with specific herbs and plants (which is what most mainstream meds are made out of anyway) so I'm thinking either the production didn't view plants and herbs as legitimate medications or, she overestimated what would be around for her to forage and keep her MS in check. I think the only way to find out is to ask her.

[@Rollgott]

When I saw that yellow rescue vehicle coming to get her, I realized that's what I want to do as a job.

We probably shouldn't even suggest to them otherwise if they want to do something because, believe me, they've thought it through and anything we suggest will be something they already thought of because they live with it and we don't. The disabled community has been fighting for years to get people to stop coddling them. All they ask for is accessibility but they don't care for our unsolicited advice or over the top concern. They have been able to accomplish a high magnitude of amazing things that weren't previously thought possible, so it would be a travesty for us to try and limit them just because we're scared for them.

What is a ms attack?

[@Nimvar]

mariusz nowak muscle sclerosis i think

[@techygirl52]

mariusz nowak multiple sclerosis. It is you immune system attacking the nerve covering called myelin in your brain and spinal cord. It cause damage in various places in the brain. An attack is when there are active attacks from the immune system. It has various side effects. It never goes away and gets worse . Without care you van end up in a wheel chair, not speak correctly and have executive and cognitive function issues.

Julie Rondeau thanks

[@tilleulenspiegel9920]

Must tanke the coimbra Protokoll, fand the MS is gone.

[@freecarry]

need new people on these shows same old story.

[@narucraze]

I actually don't feel bad for her in the least. She has MS, what did she think was gonna happen?

[@TheRisskee]

This is the second time she was on the show and she lasted 57 days the first time, why wouldn't they let her go again? People with disabilities don't need to and don't want to be babied. They're adults that can decide for themselves what they're willing to undertake and handle and if they're willing to sign a waiver, there isn't a single reason they shouldn't be allowed to be on the show. Help was only a call away and she made the decision herself to call for it. And, on top of it, this was a chance to raise awareness for how MS works.

[@mistermycology1411]

Its weird that people praise this. Its irresponsible to have gone out with a condition like this, she wasted a spot that a viable competitor could have used. In nature she would have died not been coddled and praised for her "courage". Be realistic people.

[@jramsey9025]

I couldn't agree more I have MS and I think she really downplayed how severe it is and she totally wasted a spot for somebody else I know I can't do this show even though I love it I have multiple sclerosis

[@veronicababy7959]

I think she’s doing this to puff her quacking book of herbs. So even this season she claims her home grown herbs would have treated her illness.

[@lexiehouchins-park3725]

And she wasn’t “coddled” out there. People in this comment section are bummed because it sucks to see someone go through something like that. It’s like you’re purposely trying to be callous. Just let yourself have empathy, there’s nothing wrong with that.

[@AncientCreature-i2o]

Well said.

[@TheRisskee]

She lasted 57 days the first time she was on, you absolute dullard...

[@xxwinterwolfxx199]

What's an ms attack?

[@Rio-by1eh]

I believe, In the American Indians , when you were ready to pass on , you wandered off to the woods, and never beee seen …

[@AncientCreature-i2o]

That's a myth. Nothing more.

[@Hustler1856]

Where do they get these folks wow that's a big liability.
