Rest in Peace. :(
I will admit that I do not remember all the episodes and everyone who
played a role in them, and that includes her, but I will go looking for
that episode.
One of my best friends is currently fighting multiple sclerosis as well.
This is not a battle that can be won, though. Met I met him, he was a
young adult, and already diagnosed with it. It always seemed as if he was
a bit clumsy, tripping over things. But that is, what that illness does,
at first. It looked so harmless.
I watched him fall victim to it more and more, over the years, until the point was reached that he could no longer rely on me for most basic needs, such as standing up and be moved to the bathroom, or picked up from the ground whenever he had fallen, or simply when he was unable to get upright again on the couch, after drifting sideways. It was more or less the last time I could actually talk with him. Today he can't move. Not even his
face. Just breathe. And lie still. He seems happy, but that's only a side effect of that illness. With him, it seems to also give him a sense of happiness, weirdly enough, and it probably makes all the difference, now.
He's stuck in dream-land, basically. Perpetually. Maybe some TV and me talkign to him for a few minutes, when it's not too taxiing on his body.
I can only imagine how sense of time is completely skewed as well. And I remember once, his late mother told me, that he had told her (with the aid
of a technical device) that he was doing all sorts of trips, vacations and other things, with his friends, including me. Reality and his dreams sort
of become one and the same thing, over time.
His mother passed away last year (cancer) and now he's only got a few good friends coming to visit. We see him laugh, we see him smile, we see him react.
It breaks my heart, what this illness can do to a person.
So I hope Teri Garr had a better life.
Rest in Peace. :(
He still gets arround on several Walking Frames. Being an Architect, he designed their three-level house, so has a Walking Frame on each level
.... and he still drives a car .... which I loaned them the money for
about last Christmas. ;-)
Anyway, I don't want to stray too much further from the Star Trek side of life. Only that I wished we had Star Trek level technology for treating ailments of most any kinds. Or, at the very least, giving people the tech they need to do some of the things for them.

That happened in:
What Are Little Girls Made Of? (Roger Korby possibly downloaded his mind into an android, but it might have been an delusional android).
Return to Tomorrow (Sargon planned to create android bodies for his wife
and his frenemy, but they never reached that stage).
I, Mudd (giving Kirk & co. android bodies was an enticement used to make them see the androids' side, but they didn't buy into it).
Over at TNG a scientist downloaded his mind into Data, but had to give
that up.
Hope for us all.
Could be.

Just came to mind .... wasn't there an Ep with a spinning table (Human
on one side, Android on the other side) that achieved the transfer of
mind from Human to Android?? Was that your "What are little girls made
of?" episode?

Last month actress Teri Garr died.
TOS Trekkies knew her as Roberta Lincoln in the episode 'Assignment: Earth'.

Sadly, for her it was not a happy experience.
