Christina Applegate’s candid revelations about the impact of multiple sclerosis left us deeply moved. The 51-year-old actress bravely shared how the disease affects her daily life, emphasizing that ’’With the disease of MS, it’s never a good day”. Her openness about her fears and vulnerabilities only heightened our admiration for her courage.
Fear is part of her everyday life.
During a recent interview, Applegate reflected on the small blessings she used to overlook before being diagnosed with MS in 2021.
She noted that people ask her why she doesn’t take showers, and she explains that ’’getting in the shower is frightening.’’ The Dead to Me star added, ’’You can fall, you can slip, your legs can buckle. Especially because I have a glass shower. It’s frightening to me to get in there.’’
The 51-year-old went on admitting ’’There are just certain things that people take for granted in their lives that Itook for granted’’. She stated that some of them are simple daily tasks such as going down the stairs or carrying things.
The actress revealed that she can still manage to drive short distances and carry food upstairs to her daughter Sadie Grace who is 12, but she made it clear that she struggles with going ’’down, never up.’’
She pointed out ’’Gravity can just pull you down and take everything down with you.’’
Christina Applegate shares new details about living with MS.
In a recent appearance on ABC News, Applegate opened up about her journey with the degenerative disease. She revealed that even the act of sitting for the interview was challenging for her.
«I’m not out a lot, so this is a little difficult, just for my system,» she shared. «But of course, the support is wonderful, and I’m really grateful.»
She continued, «I’m not putting a time stamp on it. I’m never going to wake up and go, ’This is awesome!’ I’m just going to tell you that. It’s just not going to happen. I wake up and I’m reminded every day.»
She added, «I’m isolating and that’s kind of how I’m dealing with it by not going anywhere because I don’t want to do it. It’s hard.»
«(MS) can be very lonely because it’s hard to explain to people. I’m in excruciating pain, but I’m just used to it now.»
She’s not surrounded by too many people.
Despite the assumption that the actress has a support system of friends and family to assist her with everyday tasks, she revealed that she has kept her inner circle small since being diagnosed with MS. She admitted, ’’I actually don’t want to be around a lot of people because I’m immunocompromised.’’
Applegate shared that her friend lives with her during the week and assists her in taking care of Sadie. And on the weekends, a caretaker comes in.
Christina also mentioned that she prefers to avoid overstimulation of her nervous system as it can be overwhelming for her. Therefore, she tries to maintain a quiet and relaxed environment as much as possible.
She explained, ’’Imagine just being in a crowd of people and how loud that is. It’s like 5,000 times louder for anyone who has lesions on their brains.’’
Christina Applegate found unwavering support from her husband during her struggles with MS and breast cancer. His love and strength were pillars that upheld their family’s happiness, even in the face of adversity.

Clint Eastwood heartbroken by his family at age ninety-four. Fans are now in disbelief
The iconic actor’s daughter, Kathryn Eastwood, stirs up controversy on social media with an outburst.
At Clint Eastwood’s daughter Morgan Eastwood’s wedding in Carmel, California, over the weekend, a joyful celebration swiftly descended into an emotional maelstrom. Family strife that erupted during the event at Clint’s opulent house was a social media mess.
Another of Clint’s daughters, Kathryn Eastwood, shared a heartwarming video of herself dancing with her father, who is 94 years old. Her caption, “Had to dance with my dad for 50 f**king seconds before we were interrupted,” however, indicated underlying tensions. Kathryn began expressing her feelings publicly on the internet with this post, which was just the start of her online outburst over her family.
“I had to break up with my sister Morgan after her wedding because she’s so concerned with her reputation that she called me ‘insane’ online for the world to hear,” Kathryn said in a particularly emotional post that included Morgan. My capacity to become a mother and have children has been hampered by this, so I need to guard against this monster’s image-driven behavior to spare myself more grief.
Amid a family dispute, Dina Eastwood threatens to file a lawsuit.
When Dina, Kathryn’s stepmother and Clint’s ex-wife, threatened to take legal action if Kathryn didn’t take down the offensive posts, things got out of hand.
“I will give you until tomorrow morning, then I will use the money I stole from your father in your words and file a lawsuit against you,” Dina declared. In a defiant response, Kathryn called Dina a “gold digger” and implied that her fears about inheritance were the source of her actions.
Rather than back off, Kathryn called Morgan “the cruelest most shallow superficial woman I have ever known,” ratcheting up her insults.
What was supposed to be a happy event has been clouded by this well publicized family fight. With his aging and palpably fragile appearance, Clint Eastwood and his normally private family are becoming the focus of intense media scrutiny.
