Christina Applegate, an Emmy winner, stated that she had multiple sclerosis and that it has been a “weird experience.”
Applegate revealed it in a Twitter post.
“Hi friends. A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS. It’s been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition. It’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a****** blocks it,” the Christina Applegate actor wrote.
