It's Been Said That Jack Osbourne's Form of Multiple Sclerosis is 'Very Treatable'

The most common form of multiple sclerosis is known as “relapsing-remitting MS.” It’s an autoimmune disease that takes affect on the central nervous system.



It is characterized by episodes of inflammation and neurological dysfunction such as blurred or double vision, numbness, weakness or imbalance that can come and go. An episode can last a few weeks to a few months, but we can speed recovery with steroids.


Jack Osbourne’s age is pretty typical for when MS can occur. It’s usually diagnosed between 20 and 50 years of age. This is a very treatable form of MS. There are many medications that can prevent relapses. When dealt with proactively, the medications are very, very good.
