Abstract editorial illustration

Christina Applegate disclosed on her podcast that her doctor told her she was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). Applegate has been open about her health struggles with the autoimmune disease for years. During the latest episode of her podcast "MeSsy" with co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who also has MS, Applegate stated, "I’m back at square one where I don’t know what’s going on with me."

She added that she still exhibits all the symptoms of someone with MS, including requiring a wheelchair when visiting her doctor's office. Despite the misdiagnosis, Applegate and Sigler have become advocates for people with MS. However, the revelation has left Applegate feeling like she let her followers down, expressing confusion and unease over the situation.
