Jack Osbourne Interview 2012: Living With Multiple Sclerosis

Ozzy Osbourne's son discusses his personal battle with the disease.

[@mswarrior932]

I've had Ms for 39 and a half years!! And there's no way MS can take me down!! I just tourd the Pacific coast bike route!!! 1500 miles!!!

[@Katie-rx8ql]

Well done ❤ may I ask how its diagnosed? Is it by MRI? I keep having weird tingling sensations in the same arm and leg. The whole of my one side of my body went completely numb a few weeks ago. I've got vertigo and feel tired all the time and achey like I've got flu. I'm worried

[@mswarrior932]

Amen! It’s been almost half a year and I’m doing my first MS walk this Saturday :) I’m 30 when I got diagnosed

I just found out I have MS but it's not gonna stop me because I believe in the highest Amen

I turned 50 on that trip!! And celebrated having MS for 40 years!! And no way no how MS take me down!!! 💪😁👍 🇺🇸🌎🚴🇺🇸

I was recently diagnosed with MS at 26. Jack gives me hope

[@seanrooker4121]

Was just diagnosed with ms, is good to see others living happily with the disease

[@sharker102]

don't feel bad I was diagnosed with it too and think people like us with ms and Jack are big inspiration cuz we show people we don't give up the fight

[@mawusi34]

I am happy the Jack Osborne is feeling well. I too have Relaxing and Remitting MS. When I was diagnosed in 2004 I too had that "well life goes on attitude". It was a shock at first, but because my symptoms were so minimal, I began to shrug it off as something that I had, but I was not an issue. When I had my 1st exacerbation in 2008, I began to take this disease serious. I woke up one morning and I could not move right. If I tried to reach for something on my left, my arm would be going to the right. My brain couldn't tell me legs to walk. I got better fairly quickly, but that's when I started my journey. I began to eat better and exercise more. I began to learn that if you did to much, you body will shut down, and if you did to little your body will break down. So you have to find that fine line. Here I am today and my body is on a back and forward roller coaster. One day I cannot get out of the bed, and the next I'm ok. But every time you have an exacerbation, you never go back 100 percent. It takes a little out of you each time. Just a little education.

[@annamarcalleti2207]

JACK OSBORNE IS SO POSITIVE AND OPEN ABOUT MS AND HE WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE AND BE FINE GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY 🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@audreyrichelle5647]

I have MS and its manageable when you have tons of money, they probably get awesome treatments & meds that people like me can't afford, excuse me I'm not as positive about MS, I keep going because I have to

[@niyahmboyd]

I just found out my mom has ms... She's had it for a couple of months and didn't tell me. She doesn't even know I know. She brought pills that are $5000 to help her. It's sad that the society we live in won't even help others pay for things like that

[@Cuddyscott84]

I agree I'm healthy far as I know. But have great sympathy for those less fortunate. Since I was a child I have always thought what if it was me. So God I hope for far better help for everyone who has these struggles.

[@alittlewheiser521]

I have insurance that pays for all MS meds and treatments and they do kiting for me. MS affects everybody differently as it depends where your scars are located. It is different for each person.

[@troymcclure8606]

[@quietcorner293]

I hear you. I'm an American and I'm fortunate to be living in Germany and having insurance here. I have private insurance which works due to German law. When my doctor put me on my last drugs like Tecfidera, Aubagio, and now Gilenya, my insurance company is required to pay it. I didn't have to go crawling to them begging and pleading for them to pay it. I pay out of pocket for meds 250 euros (approx $290) per year.

[@JZarter]

My son just died at 35 from complications due to Multiple Sclerosis. (multiple scars) My only son was very sick since he was 13 and his father abandoned the him. He was introduced to such a trauma and his MS showed its ugly head. When my son went blind in his right eye he was attending college and his Ophthalmologist diagnosed his disease. He eventually lost sight in both eyes due to a CCSVI procedure done. The pain was intolerable his whole life. MS causes chronic pain.

[@kitkat8814]

I'm so sorry to hear that 😢 I've been fighting since I was 14 I'm 37 now. It's not a easy road for anyone suffering from a disease or cancer. You have to find your fight and not give up.

[@denisek292]

I know your post is over 10 years-old, but I wanted to offer my condolences. It’s not fair you had to lose your son, and his father leaving did lead to stress, which is terrible for MS. What I also wanted to say, is “thank you” for making the point that MS causes chronic pain. Many doctors know zero about MS, especially that it causes pain. I’m secondary progressive with awful pain. Winters are the worst. I’m very sorry, he, too, had intolerable pain, even through his teenage years. I can tell you are caring mom, and you were there with him until the end. Please take care of yourself, and God Bless You.

[@lloydy187]

What a amazing and positive guy jack is, very inspiring indeed.

[@Aerojet01]

He is a very brave young man, with a mature attitude and positive outlook. It is a shame he has MS, regardless of his financial status. Jack has gone up in my estimation and I wish him every success in life.

[@pixiekins1]

I am very proud of the man he has become. Head strong, looks like a great father, I hope for the best for him and his family. I saw the Ozzy show and wasn't a fan of the family lol, but after watching this interview, I believe he is a wonder man and father. Nice to see.

[@batchman04]

It is very hard to live with it is for me. I deal with Neuropathy, tremor,spasticity everyday as well as feeling like I have the flu all of the time. My journey has been hard. I stay as positive everyday that I can so that it helps my husband and daughter. It sucks to have MS and I hate it but I know that there is a lot of research going on to find the cure and that gives me hope. He has a great attitude about dealing with it.

[@BobbieesWorld]

You and I have the same MS crap. I hate the flu pain kind, tremors, spasticity. I'm hoping to see stem cell therapy FDA approved soon.

[@batchman04]

Bobbie Haynes I completely understand. Pain sucks. I am currently on Aubagio for my MS. My Gilenya stopped working so they had to change my medication. We sure do take a lot of meds just for the symptoms of this thing that we live with. What are you taking for yours ?

[@BobbieesWorld]

I tried Copaxone and later Rebif. I ended up on IV steroids. I was unable to get up out of bed. I'm much better now. I'm on Gabapentin as I am unable to take muscle relaxers. And I take Vicodin. I have a pain management doctor who gives me shots in my back to numb the nerves. I'm feeling twitching and hard spasms but no pain right now. I hate the flu pains! He wants to give me Tecfidera but I'm really scared of side effects.

[@batchman04]

I am on Tegretol for my pain I was on Gabapentin and I also take Zanaflex and Flexeril . I am glad that you are doing better now. I am going through a really rough patch right now I spend most of my day in bed in lots of pain and my stomach is hurting really bad everyday. I know that I can make it but it is so hard sometimes.

[@guitarttimman]

It's the demylization in the brain. I have some ideas, but life isn't so good for me now and to pursue it would take a lot of time and money that I just don't have. I don't claim to be a doctor, but I do have a good aptitude for science. Well, sorry man! I guess we'll never know if I could or could not help! I would love to though!

[@midnarose1726]

At least the awareness of MS is on the rise. It may seem harmless, but it can really get to people in the bone later on. However, now can be a time to act. March happens to be MS Awareness Month. It's good to at least spread the word. If you're interested in knowing more about MS, watch a movie documentary called "But You Look So Well: Living With Multiple Sclerosis." MS is not something that should be underestimated.

[@grassnuggets9789]

The inflammation from M.S. is so frustrating. Great story, thanks for sharing.

[@guitarttimman]

Ozzy is so awesome! I loved his music the most in Black Sabbath in the 70's. I admit! I'm partial to the 70's because it really was a great movement in the later 70's. One of peace and love for the most part. It was confusion for me, but at least I got laid a lot so I'm not complaining. And, the music, oh man! And, when I seen the story about Jack having MS, it really hurt me so bad inside! He seems like such a great guy! And, I've always related to Ozzy! He had such a great peace movement going on. I loved that Volume 4 album. WOW! I just wish I could help Jack! This world can be so cruel. But, Mr. Ozzy, he was anything but that and brought great joy to me and many of my friends. I've always been a fan and always will be!

[@lockwidow]

Jack, you have a wonderful loving family & I wish you & your family all the best. Life hasn't really been good to your family in the past, just like mine. I had Cancer 3 times, have fibromyalga & MS. If I can put one foot before the other, so can you. Best to you & your family.

[@Wscate]

I have M.S i was a drummer and lost that ability due to M.S and my lack of ability in holding the sticks, anyway i have numbness allover optic neuritis and chronic fatigue but i still go to work and most people don't know i have anything. I herd Jack say how its fustrating that none knows about it, it makes me think should we start talking about this, i fear pity so i don't say a word about it. Should I?

[@saraev1119]

Sometimes it's hard for me not to say something since my speech has been affected. You don't have to tell people, but if you feel it will help them understand certain mild disabilities, then you should inform them and educate. It never hurts to educate someone.

i have ms. i have never seen any evidence that marijuana has a negative effect. i just recently got my government licence and i haven't had any bad effects on it. my ms hasn't worsened. what bad effects have you experienced?

[@christone1989]

As a sufferer with MS, I can tell you that it does NOT help with MS. You know how your senses are amplified when your high such as sound,sight,touch, and taste? Well along with the amplification of those senses comes pain from your nerves amplified as well. Because of this, I cannot smoke weed anymore, which then seperates me from the social circle of having fun and doing it and enjoying it like everyone else.

[@cman1987]

You take care of yourself right? Regardless of your job and responsibilities, you should take care of YOU. This may be hard for some. You should not judge him because he has the means to eat healthy and possibly hit a gym. We all should strive to be healthier people. He said minimize stress eat as healthily as you can and get as much sleep as you can. Who cannot try to do this? At baseline you should try to do these things. Nobody said that its easy. You MUST have misinterpreted his message.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in October 2011, at the age of 44. I woke up one morning with numbness in my lower back and legs, I couldn’t feel my feet touching the floor and I also suffered from Anosmia & Tinnitus . I saw my doctor and had an MRI to see if I had a disc problem, it was negative and she told me she feared MS. I was sent to a neurologist, had two more MRIs, and was told that night that I have four lesions on my spine MS. I tried every shot available but nothing worked. In 2015, my neurologist and I decided to go with natural treatment and was introduced to Dr Madidia natural organic MS Herbal formula, i had a total decline of symptoms with this treatment, the numbness, terrible back pains, stiffness, body weakness, double vision, depression and others has subsided.

[@JuliaB1955]

We plebeians with MS should be so lucky to have even a tenth [I'm guessing] of the resources that Jack Osbourne has. Don't get me wrong: I very much like him and I love his sister Kelly (especially for her respect toward Joan Rivers and her excellent effort on DWTS). But really, wouldn't it be nice . . . ? That said, in my case as well, and despite the stress of years of caregiving my late, great brother w/Down syndrome and the debt I incurred doing so, I think my very clean eating habits and general living practices have enabled me to live without any "meds" other than ibuprofen, vitamins and minerals, and that smokeable thing, done only wherever it is legal in these pretend progressive United States. I haven't seen a doctor since 2006. Maybe once in 2009 for swollen glands. I am GRATEFUL that sight in my right eye was also recovered. It was like a blip on the screen of vision for less than a month in the late 1980s. The melange of symptoms are so ineffable, and believe me, it isn't easy to render an editor inarticulate.. When certain pains occur, all I can think is "fireworks," "shock," "electricity," "will it stop?," etc. And the fatigue is beyond the beyond, and lordy, it hits all at once in a wave, turning me into a temporary Camille. I've come to see the profound all-body sweeps of tiredness as events orchestrated purposefully by the universe, keeping me down for a few hours at a clip at just the right time. I'm crazy productive as it is; I might've already croaked had MS not come along and befriended me. Not that it's "mine," mind you, as I don't ascribe possessive pronouns to anything no one would in truth want to "own." Someday, would love to sit around with a bunch of MSers and compare notes about all the strange and sometimes excruciatingly painful and briefly debilitating (in my case) sensations. Till then, sincerely wishing everyone very, very well!

[@bodeankit]

FACT

[@KangenAlec]

Just for the sake of argument, lets look outside the box and from a different point of view. Lets dont look at MS as a disease, but as a symptom or a result of a body inability to heal itself. We all know our bodies designed to heal and repair itself. Thats why we have have immune and lymphatic systems. Healing starts when new cells are born and replace the old ones, scheduled to die. But in order for the body to start a healing process, it needs to be in healthy state. We all know your body health starts with your cellular health. What do we know about cells? You have 40 trillion cells in the body. Cells need water, oxygen and nutrition. Thats why you breathe, get thirsty and hungry. The blood stream takes oxygen, nutrition and water to the cells. Cell is 80% water, needs to be in alkaline state (like the blood is in 7.4 pH alkaline) and need -25 mv electrical charge to operate. To heal, the cells need up to a -50 mv electrical charge. So the water that you drink must have a negative electrical anti-oxidant charge to donate a massive amount of electrons. You also need to drink a lot of this water (like a gallon a day) and this water must have alkaline property. How are we doing so far? Do you need to read this again? Its very important you understand the basics of life....Now...The only way to get this kind of water is by ionization, there is no other way. The only safe water ionizer is the one using medical grade titanium plates, coated in platinum. The only one company in the world who makes them is from Japan called Enagic. The two models SD501 and K8 are the only medical grade ionizers in the world. They even use them in hospitals to treat sick people. So by drinking a gallon a day of Kangen 9.5 pH water with a -600 mv ORP anti-oxidant charge, you are able to put all 40 trillion cells in a healthy state.... Now lets talk about nutrition. Your body need over 70 nutrients a day, including fiber, enzymes, probiotics, amino-acids etc. You cant eat that much food, even organic, to provide the body with all the nutrients. The only way to do it is with nutrition shakes, and the only company with a spotless 25 year good quality nutrition record is Reliv. So by drinking Kangen water and taking Reliv shakes with Lunarich capsules you supply the cells with a best possible fuel. Healthy cells is what makes our bodies healthy. Healthy body dont have any health issues....Agree??

[@sophie.1]

what an idiot! sending out complete misinformation, load of bollocks! also in rrms the body is healing itself as it recovers and goes or mostly goes into remission then relapse, remission etc but it is trying to heal and sometimes can rewire itself. finally... a gallon of water?! wtf are you on?!

[@KangenAlec]

Claire King Well, people who don't have MS anymore after they started drinking this water would disagree with you. BTW, how much fluoride you drink daily?

[@Ane127]

It’s just diet. MS is a lipid metabolism disorder. Look up diets by Roy Swank, George Jelinek, and Terry Wahls.

[@Ane127]

Fontaine X MS is caused by different things in different people, and there can be many causes within the same person. Regardless, it’s the same disease for everyone and can be reversed and healed using diet.

[@Ane127]

Fontaine X I don’t know what diet you were on. I went to see a naturopathic doctor. They’re replacing the medical doctors. Naturopathic.org I received a notification that there was another reply from you. However, I can no longer see your replies. From what I could see in the notification, you were not necessarily on the right diet. It also doesn’t matter what caused your MS. It’s all cured the same way. It’s also very possible that you have been misdiagnosed. If you see this, please see a Naturopathic doctor.
