A disease that cannot be cured… This is not the first time that Jean-Luc Reichmann has received a seriously ill candidate on the set of his program 12 noon shots. However, it was probably the first time that he was so moved when he discovered the story of Jessica, the new midday master, who revealed to him that he had multiple sclerosis. An autoimmune disease that primarily affects the central nervous system. A dysfunction of the immune system which most often leads to lesions and causes motor, sensory, cognitive and visual disturbances.
“I went through all the emotions”, confided Jessica to the host when he asked her how she had reacted to learning the terrible news. However, the young candidate admitted to having been relieved by discovering the diagnosis and this for a funny reason: “I was already relieved. I know, it’s weird to say that, but I went two years without knowing what I had. I had symptoms but we didn’t know what I had. We dragged me from doctors to exams without knowing. And one day, I saw a professor who finally made this diagnosis. So I was relieved at the time”.
Not knowing how tomorrow will be
But after relief quickly came worry and anguish. Jessica quickly realized that this disease was going to be complicated to manage: “I said to myself that it was not so good as that”. Indeed, although there are treatments, patients with multiple sclerosis unfortunately cannot cure it, as the candidate recalled: “There are basic treatments but we cannot cure them”.
Especially since people with this disease do not know what their next day will be like, as the candidate of the 12 noon shots : “It’s a neurodegenerative disease so we don’t know what can happen tomorrow. So it’s living with a sword of Damocles. I’m here and I’m enjoying every moment”A revelation that did not fail to plunge Jean-Luc Reichmann into deep emotion…
