"I am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy," she wrote on Sunday morning Australian time.
"And my left side is asking for directions from a broken gps. But we are doing it."
She also expressed gratitude to her doctor, saying that she had been trying to get a diagnosis for a long time.
"I have had symptoms for years but was never taken seriously until I fell down in front of [Dr Jason Berkley] trying to sort out what I thought was a pinched nerve. I have probably had this incurable disease for 15 years at least. And I am relieved to at least know."
The Mom and Dad actress also expressed optimism for the future.
"I am in the thick of it but I hope to give some hope to others," Blair wrote. "And even to myself. You can't get help unless you ask."
"I am a forthcoming person and I want my life to be full somehow. I want to play with my son again. I want to walk down the street and ride my horse. I have MS and I am ok."
