Christina Applegate offers a new update on her EM trip
Christina Applegate opened exciting about her struggle with multiple sclerosis, almost four years after she was diagnosed for the first time.
“I am defined by this at this time,” said the actor during an appearance in the Kotb Hoda podcast, “Making Space”, which was launched on Wednesday.
“I have days when I can’t even walk to the bathroom, so I’m defined by him,” said Applegate.
“I am still angry with that, and there are many of us who are recently diagnosed who are not ready to accept this reality,” he explained. “I still think that I am going to wake up from this nightmare, and that it will end.”
The actor “Dead to” added: “I want to do these things and I can’t, and it seems that I am getting worse. And that is discouraging. But then there is this voice within me that is like, ‘you have to believe in a miracle. You have to believe on another side of this'”.

Applegate became public with its diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 2021. It is now coanfrerion of a podcast about life with the EM, called “messy”, together with actor Jamie-Lynn Sigler.
Sigler, better known for his role in “The Sopranos”, was diagnosed at age 20, but did not share his condition publicly until 2016.

Sigler, who also appeared in the Kotb podcast with Applegate, said that living with more for 23 years has “absolutely shaped” who she is as a person.
“Of course, I would love not to fight in my body,” he said. “I would love not to have a disability. I would love to be able to participate in my life in the way I would choose, but the way I look at the world and the way I feel about people, I don’t know if it would be the same without this.”
