Jack Osbourne on Living with Multiple Sclerosis and Defying Expectations

The television personality opens up about his diagnosis, treatment journey and why MS looks different for everyone.

Jack Osbourne joins Dr. Drew for a candid conversation about being diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis at age 26, just weeks after becoming a father. Osbourne recalls experiencing optic neuritis and leg numbness, the fear caused by his limited understanding of the disease and how advances in treatment and lifestyle guidance gave him new hope. He shares how medication, exercise, nutrition and continued neurological care have helped him manage his health, while acknowledging the lasting effect MS has had on the vision in one eye. Osbourne also reflects on being underestimated professionally following his diagnosis and explains why MS is as individual as a fingerprint—affecting every person differently and challenging assumptions about what someone living with the condition can accomplish.
