In a recent interview, the 54-year-old actress revealed that she spends most of her time in bed due to pain caused by multiple sclerosis.
5 years after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Christina Applegate reveals that she spends most of her time in bed due to pain caused by the condition.
The 54-year-old actress has been open about the challenges she faces and how she lives with the chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system.
Ahead of the release of her memoir, Applegate told People that she experiences a lot of pain when moving, but still takes her 15-year-old daughter Sadie to school every day.
“It’s the only time we have together, just the two of us,” she said. “I tell myself, ‘I just need to get her there safely and come back home so I can go to bed.’ And that’s exactly what I do,” she told the publication.
Applegate, who became famous for playing Kelly Bundy in the sitcom “Married With Children”, which aired from 1987 to 1997, shares in her new book “You With the Sad Eyes” details of her difficult childhood in Los Angeles, where she had to witness her mother, actress Nancy Priddy, struggle with drug addiction.
“We all come from somewhere—some places more painful than others—and what matters is what you do with it, I think. This is not an inspirational book, by any means. But it can inspire,” she said.
Currently, Applegate works in voice acting and hosts a podcast about multiple sclerosis, “MeSsy,” alongside her friend and fellow actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who also lives with the disease.
