Christina Applegate, the beloved Hollywood actress known for her roles in Dead to Me and Married... with Children, has reportedly been hospitalised amid her ongoing struggle with multiple sclerosis (MS). Sources close to the star claim she was in 'screaming pain' before being admitted for medical care.
The 52-year-old Emmy winner was diagnosed with MS in 2021 and has been candid about the challenges of living with the autoimmune disease. Friends say her condition has worsened recently, leading to the urgent hospital visit.
A Courageous Battle
Applegate has become an inspiration to many for her openness about living with MS. Despite the physical toll, she continued working on the final season of Dead to Me, even directing episodes from a wheelchair.
'She's been incredibly brave throughout this journey,' a close friend shared. 'But MS is unpredictable, and sometimes the pain becomes unbearable.'
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
MS is a chronic condition that affects the central nervous system, often causing:
- Muscle weakness
- Vision problems
- Severe fatigue
- Pain and spasms
While there's no cure, treatments can help manage symptoms and slow progression. Applegate has previously discussed using medication and mobility aids to maintain her independence.
Support from Fans and Colleagues
The entertainment community has rallied around Applegate since her diagnosis. Co-stars and fans alike have flooded social media with messages of support following news of her hospitalisation.
Applegate's representative has not yet commented on her current condition, but sources say doctors are working to manage her pain and stabilise her symptoms.
