Jack Osbourne Has Multiple Sclerosis

Man, what happened this weekend? So much bad news. Jack Osbourne (son of Ozzy Osbourne) has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He found out the horrible news just two weeks after welcoming his first child into the world.  “He knew something was wrong for awhile. Everyone is sad, but he is being strong about it.” A close source said.

Jack has also spoke out about his illness, “I was just angry and frustrated and kept thinking, ‘Why now?’ I’ve got a family and that’s what’s supposed to be the most important thing.” Jack said. He also thanked fans on his Twitter for all their encouraging words and support.

Multiple sclerosis is a disease that affects the central nervous system – the brain and spinal cord. It can also cause problems with muscle control and strength, vision, balance, feeling and thinking. Each case is different some people can go through life and only experience minor problems. However, a lot of people with the disease suffer from serious complications.

Montel Williams has MS and has been raising money for research ever since he went public with his diagnosis back in 1999. He has famously struggled with the condition and was close to committing suicide from all of the pain.

Hopefully Jack can be one of the lucky ones and only suffer minor complications.
