Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean is known for her sunny demeanor, but behind the scenes, she has been fighting a private battle for nearly two decades. On World MS Day, Dean shared a deeply personal message about her struggles with multiple sclerosis (MS), an unpredictable and often invisible disease that affects the central nervous system.
Diagnosed in 2005, Dean calls MS the “invisible illness” because those living with it may appear healthy on the outside while their bodies are under constant attack. “I got my hair and makeup done, I’m smiling on Fox & Friends—but inside, my body is fighting itself,” she revealed.
On this particular World MS Day, the reality of her condition hit even harder. “I’m actually feeling symptoms of my multiple sclerosis today,” she admitted. She described a burning sensation on the back of her neck, one of the many unpredictable and often painful effects of the disease.
Despite the daily challenges, Dean remains a beacon of resilience. “Sometimes it’s tough to put on a smiling face, but we have to do it,” she said. She also took a moment to acknowledge the strength of others facing similar struggles, saying, “To all my fellow MS warriors, thank you for continuing to push forward despite the challenges.”
MS affects more than 2.8 million people worldwide, and while there is no cure, treatments and awareness efforts continue to improve lives. By sharing her journey, Dean hopes to shine a light on the struggles of those living with chronic illness and remind them that they are not alone.
Her message is clear: Even when a disease is invisible, the battle is very real.
