Jack Osbourne Has Multiple Sclerosis


By Special Correspondent Karla Gregg

Jack Osboune suspected something was wrong with his health when his vision started failing him last month.

“I couldn’t see anything in front of me,” Osbourne, shared with PEOPLE. When Osbourne sought medical help for his eye sight problem, he received a shocking diagnosis.

The diagnosis was multiple sclerosis, which was to blame for 80 percent of vision lost in his right eye.

Although his vision has improved, Osbourne is now beginning medication and starting a healthier diet to help reduce symptons of the disease. Multiple sclerosis attacks the brain and spinal cord and can affect the vision, movement and cognition.

The Osbourne family is trying to stay positive throughout this devestating news.

“It’s just one of those things you take as it comes,” says Jack. “It’s all about your outlook.”

“I was very sad and totally in shock,” Jack’s father Ozzy tells a PEOPLE.”[But] I’ve got to tell you, he’s handled it much better than I would have. He’s a very strong kid.”

Wish you the best Jack and like your dad says you are, stay strong.
