Christina Applegate opened up about how living with multiple sclerosis has been 'kind of hell' and 'isolating' but shares how fellow actor Jamie-Lynn Sigler supports her.
Christina Applegate believes she might have had multiple sclerosis for as long as seven years before officially being diagnosed with the autoimmune disease in 2021. Battling symptoms on and off, the Emmy winner and 'Married ... With Children' alum said she put off being checked by a doctor despite her legs giving out while filming the first season of her Netflix comedy 'Dead to Me.
'By the time we started shooting in the summer of that same year, I was being brought to set in a wheelchair. Like, I couldn't walk that far,' Applegate said. Her friend and 'The Sweetest Thing' co-star Selma Blair, who was diagnosed with MS in 2018, urged Applegate to get tested. 'She goes, 'You need to be checked for MS,' and I said, 'No,' I said, 'Really? The odds? The two of us from the same movie.
