Seven "Second" Opinions Later - Misdiagnosis Turns Fran Drescher Into Crusader

Name sound familiar?

Yes -- Fran Drescher played "The Nanny" on TV in the 1990s.  As Fran Fine, the lovable nanny with that nasaly "Mistah Sheffield!" has moved on to other pursuits -- although it's often easy to find The Nanny in reruns.  They are just as much fun.

But those other pursuits -- THAT's where Fran Drescher is making a real difference -- for women all over the world.

About two years ago, I first learned about Fran's misdiagnosis.  I knew she was OK, and had eventually been correctly diagnosed, but I knew little more than that.

So I tracked her down, and recently spent some time Fran by phone.... and I've put together the parts of our conversation that can be helpful to you.  Read more about Fran Drescher's misdiagnosis, and her new focus in life, as she now helps other women across the globe improve their own prospects for healthier futures.
