She revealed her Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis

On September 5, 2023, Bianca Wallace made a heartfelt post on Instagram, announcing her struggle with the disease.

She has been open about living with multiple sclerosis. Candidly reflecting on her diagnosis and the battle throughout, she started by asking whether anyone would guess that she had MS at first glance. She continued her message, explaining the significance of MS fundraisers. She elaborated,

"They still don’t know what causes MS and it is completely different for every single person with the illness. No two cases are the same which can make it tricky to treat. There are also different forms, different stages and progression."

Looking back on her personal experience and how she moves ahead, she stated,

"It can be a difficult illness to face even on a good day! For me personally, a good day still means my right hand doesn’t function well, my motor skills aren’t sharp and I drop and throw things - Lately the throwing has been a problem for me and I’ve been causing a lot of messes (we do laugh at it thank goodness!). I never know what my right leg will do."

Recalling one of her past challenges, she shared,

"A few weeks ago I got up to walk, just I had been doing with no troubles that day, and I fell to the ground as my leg decided it didn’t want to work for the next 3-4 minutes. I have constant spasming, especially in the right side of my body and in my back - A few days ago in about 2.5 seconds I had a spasm take over the left side of my back and I blacked out for a few minutes from the pain. Thankfully Yo was there to help me on both of those recent occasions."

Calling it "a wild ride even on the best of days," she further stated that a cure is not yet available and when it will be is unknown. The A Ray of Sunshine actress also gave a shout-out to the National MS Society, which supports people struggling to support themselves. Bianca also expressed her thankfulness to "everyone who has donated." Sharing her gratitude, she concluded her message, penning,

"You are all incredible and your support has not gone unnoticed!"
