The Invisible Battle: Understanding Chronic Illness. Janice Dean describes multiple sclerosis as the “invisible illness,” often misunderstood because those living with it might appear perfectly fine on the outside.
For many, the financial burden of managing MS, including regular lab testing, prescription therapies, and rehabilitation services, adds a layer of stress to an already demanding reality.
“It’s the ‘My, you look so well’ disease,” she explained, pointing out that while someone might seem put together—hair done, makeup on—the reality beneath the surface is far different.
The disease, she said, is relentlessly attacking the central nervous system, disrupting communication between the brain, spine, and the rest of the body. It’s a reminder of the importance of early diagnostics and access to affordable neurology insurance plans that can help mitigate long-term deterioration.
Living with MS in the Spotlight. Despite being FOX News Channel’s familiar weather anchor, Dean revealed that on World MS Day itself, she wasn’t just talking about the disease—she was actively feeling its grip.
