Christina Applegate, known for her extensive career in television and film, recently received a standing ovation at the 2024 Emmys, leaving many wondering about the reason behind it. 

However, in addition to her successful acting journey, Christina has been facing a significant health challenge. 

In August 2021, Christina Applegate disclosed her multiple sclerosis diagnosis. Unaware of subtle symptoms for four years, they intensified before diagnosis. In 2023 and at the 2024 Emmy Awards, she hinted at retiring from on-camera work post “Dead to Me,” citing uncertainty about her abilities but expressed interest in behind-the-scenes roles, including producing.

Explained: What Is Going on with Christina Applegate? How Is She Now?

In August 2021, Christina Applegate revealed that she was diagnosed with MS- multiple sclerosis, a condition that has greatly impacted her life.

Multiple sclerosis is an immune-mediated disease primarily targeting the bodyโ€™s central nervous system. This includes the brain and spinal cord. 

This attack occurs when the bodyโ€™s immune system mistakenly attacks the protective myelin covering nerve fibers, leading to a range of symptoms.

While the exact reason resulting in multiple sclerosis is still unknown, it is believed to result from a combination of genetics and environmental factors, with a family history of the disease increasing the risk.

Symptoms of multiple sclerosis vary depending on factors like the location and severity of nerve fiber damage. Common symptoms include tingling, numbness, lack of coordination, weakness in limbs, fatigue, slurred speech, vision problems, and mood disturbances.ย 

Christina Applegate revealed that she had unknowingly experienced “very small symptoms” of MS for four years before her diagnosis, with her symptoms worsening in the weeks leading up to it.

Man, that was a beautiful moment for Christina Applegate.

While there is currently no cure for MS, various treatments are available to manage its symptoms. 

Recent breakthroughs in experimental treatments show promise. MS is rarely fatal, but complications can lead to life-threatening issues.ย 

As a result, the life expectancy for someone with MS is slightly lower than average, though it has improved significantly over the years due to more effective treatments.

In 2023, Christina Applegate indicated that she may have retired from on-camera work after finishing filming Netflix’s “Dead to Me.” She explained in an interview:

โ€œI’m pretty convinced that this was it, you know? But who knowsโ€”I’m probably gonna get real bored of being in my room. I’d like to develop stuff, I’d like to produce stuff. I’ve got a lot of ideas in my mind, and I just need to get them executed.”

Christina has been candid about the challenges she faces daily due to MS, from simple tasks like showering to navigating stairs and carrying objects.

In 2023, the actress revealed in a Variety interview:

โ€œWith the disease of MS, it’s never a good day. You just have little shitty days. People are like, ‘Well, why don’t you take more showers?’ Well, because getting in the shower is frightening. 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.”

While her on-screen future remains uncertain, Christina Applegate’s resilience and determination continue to inspire many. 

Her openness about her battle with multiple sclerosis sheds light on the challenges faced by those living with the condition and offers hope for the future.
