Teri Garr Battles Multiple Sclerosis With A Positive Outlook

Garr Suffering From Memory Loss

Teri first began experiencing symptoms from the crippling disease in 1983 after the actress began to experience an odd tingling in her foot while jogging in Central Park. The pain quickly worsened and became unbearable for Teri. In 1999, Teri’s doctors finally diagnosed the actress with Multiple Sclerosis. The disease has ravaged Garr’s body and she was finally forced to retire from acting in 2007.

Today Teri is unable to walk more than a few feet while using a cane, she suffers from extreme fatigue and memory loss on occasion. It is a sad situation, and unfortunately, at this time there is no cure or known cause for the disease. However, there are numerous medications which have proven helpful in managing the disease.
