## Key points

- Applegate is investigating possible causes of her health problems.
- She wonders whether her saline implants could be overdue for replacement.
- She says she is being tested for conditions that can resemble MS.

## Summary

Christina Applegate said she is considering whether her ageing breast implants could be linked to her health problems, while stressing this is a theory she plans to investigate. The question has taken on added significance since she revealed last month that she does not have multiple sclerosis, despite receiving that diagnosis five years ago, and is now seeking another explanation for her symptoms.

Applegate had a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, followed by reconstruction with saline implants. She said she believes the implants are overdue for replacement and has wondered whether a leak could be affecting her health, referring to a study she says links implant symptoms with MS-like symptoms. She described joint problems, an inability to lift her right arm and widespread pain, and said she is undergoing tests for other conditions that can resemble MS, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and Lyme disease.
