"The Talk" co-host announced that her 26-year-old son would make an appearance on the show on Wednesday to talk about his diagnosis himself.

She continued thanking those who have reached out to her family and given them words of encouragement.

"Just thank you to everyone, for all their good wishes it's been amazing, but for Jack cause I really believe that vibes of prayer help," she said.

Jack Osbourne revealed his heath crisis in an interview with People magazine on Sunday. He told the publication he received the diagnosis just two weeks after the April 25 birth of his daughter, Pearl Clementine.

Multiple sclerosis attacks the brain and spinal cord, and can cause somewhat mild problems or serious disability, such as paralysis.

Please do some research into Neuromyelitis optica. It will be worth while

Hang in there Sharon and Jack! I myself have MS and have had it for about 2 years now. The worse thing is my neurologist told me I had MS for about 5 to 6 years and never knew it. If you need anything just ask me. I will try to provide some answers

Jack is sure to get the best medical treatment the world has to offer, I wish him well. The rest of us, not so much.

[mommy7398]

I feel the same. He will be quite fine with all the best treatments where the rest of us will deal with what is best for the real people in the world who ALSO have this disease!

[cincerely]

Sharon, research the work done by St. Pete Dr. Mary Newport. (for her husband with Alzheimers). Coconut oil found to improve Alzheimers, Parkinsons, MS and other neurodegenertive diseases as well as Type I and Type ll Diabetes.

The best is Cold Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil - not off the grocery shelf.

MS is not a death sentence. Quit weeping and wailing---and that goes for the breathless media clamoring over this "tragedy". Maybe they can raise some money and awareness for non-millionaire victims that could use all of our support.

I so agree with you.

PwMS get excited when someone famous is dx. BUT so far has not made any difference

[samXXkiley]

coucou,

Sharon, I understand and feel your pain I admire your courage, to live such an ordeal is very hard, my thoughts go to you and to your son, hope is still there.
"au revoir"

[oknowwhat]

ummm exactly what pain is she living with? Jack has MS...not her.

unlike so many of us with MS there will be no worries about how to afford a treatment etc.

I am truely hoping that they get involved in either stem cell research or with re-mylanting

[dontrenigin12]

this show is for stupid derelects...

[skeezix06]

There are times when it is very hard to be a mom and sit on the sidelines watching your children. This would be one of those times.

No matter what you may think of Sharon Osbourne, the main focus of all of this should be her son Jack and sending him well wishes of good health and love and support.

This is the woman who laughed about cutting off men's *******. I should care about this? Send her back to England.
