Actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler credits the love and support of her family, along with guidance from Tisch MSRCNY's Dr. Sadiq, for helping her manage her MS with grace. You can read the full article on CNN, here. 

“MS is like another job of mine and you know, sometimes I’m a really good employee and sometimes I’m not,” she said. “I’ve lived with this disease for over 21 years and you know, sometimes some days, some weeks you can get a little bitter and upset about the amount of focus that it takes just to live.” 

“I remember one of my first calls was to my neurologist Dr. Sadiq, just saying ‘Because I have MS do I need to be extra careful? Do I need to be fearful of this?,’” she said. “And you know, as the pandemic went on I remember him saying ‘You’re gonna be okay.’”

That allowed her the confidence to keep going on with her acting career, which includes her role as Tonya Walsh on the ABC series, “Big Sky.”
