Christina Applegate Shares Health Update, Vows to Keep Fighting for MS Community: “I Will Speak Out on Your Behalf Forever”

Christina Applegate says she will keep supporting people with multiple sclerosis despite recently learning she was misdiagnosed with the condition. On her podcast, MeSsY, she said she still feels connected to the community and intends to speak up for it.

Applegate said her health has not improved and that doctors are investigating what has caused her symptoms since 2021. She described needing about 10 minutes to get out of bed, nearly being unable to walk to the bathroom and keeping a walker beside her bed. She also reported losing too much weight; she retired from acting in 2022 and co-hosts the podcast with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who has MS.
