Christina Applegate does not have MS after all: 'Back to square one'

Actress Christina Applegate has revealed that she was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a condition she has been living with since 2021. Despite receiving the news that she does not have the chronic central nervous system disease, Applegate expressed deep frustration and despair because her physical health continues to deteriorate. She described the revelation as a setback that leaves her back at square one, as her medical team must now restart investigations to identify the actual cause of her symptoms.

Since her initial diagnosis three years ago, Applegate had significantly altered her life, including stepping back from her acting career and frequently using a wheelchair. The actress, known for her roles in Married... with Children and Dead to Me, shared that the process had led to severe depression and significant personal loss. She is currently searching for answers regarding her health while grappling with the ongoing uncertainty of her condition after having publicly documented her struggles in her recent memoirs.
