BREAKING NEWS : Fox News’ Janice Dean Reveals Heartbreaking Update on ‘Unseen’ Health Battle

Fox News’ Janice Dean Shares Emotional Message About Her ‘Invisible’ Battle with Multiple Sclerosis

Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean has opened up about her long-standing and unseen struggle with multiple sclerosis (MS). Diagnosed in 2005, Dean has faced the challenges of this neurological disease for nearly two decades. On World MS Day, she shared a heartfelt message with others who are battling the illness, offering both encouragement and insight into her daily struggles.

 

Dean refers to MS as the “invisible illness” or the “‘My, you look so well’ disease,” highlighting how those suffering from it often appear outwardly fine while experiencing debilitating symptoms. “We may look okay on the outside—I have my hair and makeup done—but inside, our body is attacking its central nervous system, the brain, and the spine,” she explained. “There’s a breakdown in communication between the messages our brain sends to the rest of our body.”

On this particular World MS Day, Dean admitted that she was feeling the effects of the disease more than usual. She described experiencing a persistent burning sensation on the back of her neck, a symptom that has been particularly bothersome. Despite these challenges, she continues to show up with a smile on Fox & Friends, even when her body is struggling.

“Even though we look okay on the surface—I got my hair and makeup done, I’m smiling on Fox & Friends—inside, it can be quite a challenge,” Dean said with a deep sigh. “It’s sometimes tough to put on that smiling face, but we have to do it.”

She took the opportunity to thank her fellow MS warriors, expressing admiration for those who continue to persevere despite the illness. “On this World MS Day, I want to say thank you to all my fellow MS warriors who keep moving forward despite the daily challenges,” she said.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and potentially disabling disease of the central nervous system. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, leading to communication disruptions between the brain and the rest of the body. Symptoms can vary widely, including fatigue, numbness, muscle weakness, vision problems, and difficulty with coordination.

According to the Mayo Clinic, there is currently no cure for MS. Treatment options focus on managing symptoms, slowing the progression of the disease, and improving the quality of life for those affected.

The National MS Society estimates that more than 2.8 million people worldwide are living with an MS diagnosis. Many individuals, like Dean, battle the condition while maintaining careers, raising families, and engaging in daily life despite the obstacles.

Dean’s openness about her condition serves as a reminder of the unseen struggles many people face. Her message of resilience and gratitude resonates not only with those who have MS but with anyone dealing with chronic illness. By sharing her journey, she hopes to raise awareness and inspire others to keep pushing forward, no matter the challenges they encounter.

“I call it the invisible illness, the ‘My, you look so well’ disease because we can be looking fine, I got my hair and makeup done, but inside our body is attacking its central nervous system, the brain, and the spine,” Dean shared.

“Even though we look okay on the surface – I got my hair and makeup done, I’m smiling on Fox & Friends – inside can be quite a challenge and what it feels like,” Deans says as she lets off a big sigh.

“So it’s sometimes tough to put on that smiling face, but we have to do it, and I wanted to, on this World MS Day, thank you to all my fellow MS warriors who continue to move despite the challenges every day.”
