Cavuto talks about covering business with MS

Neil CavutoNeil CavutoNeil Cavuto, anchor and managing editor of Fox Business Network, talked with George Stephanopoulos on “Good Morning America” about how he covers stories with multiple sclerosis.

He was first diagnosed in 1997.

“My producers will tell you they know something is wrong when I can’t see or I’m having trouble looking at the teleprompter,” said Cavuto. “I try to pre-memorize the script or try to remember the guest. Sometimes it very difficult to see the person in front of me.”

Cavuto later added, “With MS, it’s really not so easy. You never know how it will hit. The biggest adjustment I had when I first got diagnosed was understanding when a limb would go out, compensating with the other limb….You read your body after a while.”
