Emma Caulfield, known for portraying Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins on the ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ series and Dotti on ‘WandaVision,’ has revealed she has multiple sclerosis
“Once upon a time, I had zero health problems,” Caulfield Ford told. “I woke up one morning and the left side of my face felt like there were a million ants crawling on it. That feeling when you’ve sat in a position too long? … The feeling’s gone and it’s coming back like a rush of blood.”
Caulfield Ford recalls she went to her acupuncturist who suggested she might have Bell’s Palsy, which is characterized by half of the face dropping due to muscle weakness. She would get more tests done and after the results of an MRI, her doctor confirmed she had MS.Variety The Children's Charity Of Southern California Ups Britni Smith To Executive Director; Elizabeth O'Neil To Retire
“It was like an out-of-body experience,” she said about her reaction following her MS diagnosis. “I’m like, ‘No, that’s not possible.’ I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ [The doctor] was very matter of fact about it…. It was literally a kind of nightmare.” Caulfield Ford also revealed that her father had MS, but that wasn’t the cause of his death. The actor also said she had initially not revealed her diagnosis as she “didn’t want to give anyone the opportunity to not hire me.” Caulfield Ford said she filmedwhile experiencing in silence the effects of MS. She added that she would be reprising her role on the Disney+ seriesMust Read Stories
