Turn away now if you never seen the movie EDEN. This is a total movie spoiler!

I finally saw the 1996 movie 'EDEN' in which portrays a young wife and mother married to a college teacher who is also coping with the effects of Multiple Sclerosis the best she can in the year 1965.

Throughout the movie she is wearing a full length leg brace on her weak leg. I guess that is the best they had in 1965, looked uncomfortable. As the movie goes on you see her gradual decline in function and terrible fatigue problems we all know.

I think it was pretty good, but a bit exaggerated. She eventually slips into a coma and I had no idea that this can cause a coma? in 1965 possibly. At the end she comes out of the coma after a severe flare and resumes like she always had, clunky leg brace and everything.

I dunno... it sort of slammed in your face every time she got anew symptom and that clunky brace of hers drove me nuts. She walked like frankenstein.
