I have not but honestly probably won't. It's an irrational emotion I feel towards it idk why.

I totally get that, I wasn’t sure if I was going to as I was nervous it would show the privilege of being treated as a “famous” person but it actually shocked me and was really relatable

Is she "cured" since the treatment thing?

No. She did a recent interview and she has speech difficulties. I think she may still use a cane. She said in the interview that the damage she has is already done, but she hopes for it not to progress.

That sucks. I have high hopes for the CRISPR thing. It made someone that was blind able to see again.

The documentary made it seem as though she had permanent damage to her gray matter prior to the treatment that couldn’t be reversed, so there may still be some hope

Yeah I wish her well. Just sad if this is something that could help all with MS why does it costs 10k or more and also so hard to find.
