  Interview with Montel Williams - by Dr. Gillian Friedman and Chet Cooper
The medication Montel takes to slow the progression of his MS must be administered daily by injection, and can cause fever, rash, bruising, anxiety and shortness of breath, all of which he says he has experienced at some point in his treatment.
As Montel was about to graduate he developed a sudden blurring of vision in his left eye, along with twitching, weeping, and a scotoma (blind spot).
Montel’s feet and legs were so numb that when the neurologist drew blood poking him with needles, he still felt nothing.
