Christina Applegate Says She Largely Stays in Bed because of Multiple Sclerosis
Christina Applegate says multiple sclerosis has caused severe pain and mobility loss, confining her to bed most days while still driving her daughter to school.
- Christina Applegate, the Emmy-winning actress and producer, says she spends most days bedridden because of pain from multiple sclerosis, telling People magazine ahead of her memoir due March 3.
- Her symptoms began in early 2021 with tingling toes and loss of balance, leading to Applegate's multiple sclerosis diagnosis five years ago.
- On Instagram last month she posted from her bed and said `Just get her there safely and get home so you can get back into bed` while driving Sadie, her 15-year-old daughter, to school.
- As a result, Applegate shifted to the MeSsy podcast launched in 2024 with Jamie-Lynn Sigler and some voice work after production was suspended for five months.
- Inside the book, Applegate describes her 2021 MS diagnosis confining her to a king-sized bed and recalls her mother Nancy Priddy's heroin addiction and childhood abuse.
