Christina Applegate Reveals She Was Misdiagnosed and Does Not Have MS: “I Haven’t Gotten Better … I’m Back at Square One”
Applegate returned to the podcast she co-hosts with Jamie Lynn-Sigler to reveal the health news that is sending her for a loop: "You don't get misdiagnosed and then all of a sudden, I'm better. I haven't gotten better," she shares. "If anything, I've gotten worse in some ways."
Christina Applegate returned to her "MeSsy" podcast with co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler, revealing she was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021. This incorrect diagnosis led to five years of treatment in the wrong direction and significant turmoil. Applegate expressed her dissatisfaction, stating she hasn't gotten better and feels she's regressed to "square one," where she still doesn't know what's causing her symptoms.
She shared that she feels like she let everyone down, having become the poster child for MS. The actress noted that a high number of MS cases involve misdiagnoses, and she now believes something else might be at play. Despite still experiencing health issues, Applegate remains strong and optimistic, focusing on her well-being and making her surroundings joyful.
