Christina Applegate has been confined to her bedroom as she battles multiple sclerosis (MS).
The 54-year-old actress made her diagnosis public in 2021 and she has now explained how it has affected her daily life and relationships.
The Hollywood star – who has a 15-year-old daughter, Sadie, with husband Martyn LeNoble – shared PEOPLE magazine: “I want to take her with me [to school]; it’s my favorite activity. It’s the only time we’re alone together.”
“I tell myself, ‘Just get her there safely and go home so you can go back to bed.’ And that’s what I do,” she further revealed, admitting that her life “isn’t wrapped in a bow.”
The movie star added: “People’s lives, sorry for the lack of a better term, f**king sucks sometimes. So I’m as honest and raw as I can be.”
Earlier this month, Christina launched a new online platform for people with MS, titled Next in MS, which gives people the opportunity to share their experiences.
The site says: “Living with multiple sclerosis isn’t easy. Christina Applegate has never been shy about it. She’s been open about the pain, the fatigue, the frustration – even the parts that are hard to say out loud.”
“That’s why Christina is starting a different conversation… one where we can talk openly, ask tough questions, seek tough answers, and walk complex paths together.” (sic)” it continued.
Christina would like to connect with other people living with the condition, which affects the brain and spinal cord.
“As Christina embarks on the next chapter of her MS journey, she invites you to come along… and she doesn’t hold back. What will Christina discover next…?” the site states.
“Get a glimpse of what Christina learns as she explores the next chapter of her journey with MS – the good, the bad, the ugly. Watch the trailer for Next In MS below and don’t forget to subscribe above. (sic)” Christina Applegate’s site concluded.
