OZZY OSBOURNE's Son Discusses Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis On 'The Talk', 'Piers Morgan'

Ozzy Osbourne's 26-year-old son Jack made an appearance on this past Wednesday's (June 20) edition of "The Talk" show on CBS to discuss his recent multiple sclerosis diagnosis. Joining him during the program was his mother, "The Talk" co-host Sharon Osbourne, who also manages Ozzy's career.

"I guess I've been having symptoms for the last three or four years, but I didn't realize it," Jack said. "I had problems with my bladder, problems with my stomach and then, about two years ago, my legs went numb for two months and I just thought I had pinched a nerve."

Jack went blind in one eye as a result of the autoimmune disease, which affects the brain and spinal cord. He has since regained "about 80 percent" of his sight. He said, "They don't know if it will ever improve beyond that, but everyone's different.

"[My vision] will return to some capacity but like I said, everyone is different, some people are left with a blind spot, some people return a 100 percent, some people never even get anything back, so it's hit or miss.

"Ultimately, that's the toughest thing with this disease that I'm learning... One minute you can be fine, and the next I went blind in my right eye. It's a completely unpredictable disease."

Speaking to Piers Morgan on his CNN show, "Piers Morgan Tonight", on Thursday (June 21),Jack said, "I've been told by all my doctors that if you are going to get MS now is the best time to have it. There are, I think, two or three new drugs coming out within the next six months... I do believe there will be a solution in sight in my lifetime."

Jack revealed that there is some family history with MS, saying, "Mum took it really quite hard; my uncle on her side has MS and, the way my mum is, she thinks that somehow it's her fault. Both my parents were handling it way worse than I was; they were pretty shaken up about the whole thing."

Sharon told Hello! magazine, "I keep thinking, 'What did I do wrong? What did I eat or drink when I was pregnant? I feel like it's somehow my fault."

Ozzy added, "If it was me, you'd think: 'Ozzy had a reputation and it caught up with him.' But Jack is such a good guy."

MS affects the central nervous system and can cause problems with muscle control and strength, vision, balance, feeling, and thinking. The disease affects people differently in each case, with some people having only minor problems, while others become seriously disabled.
