Christina Applegate is confined to her bed amid painful MS battle
Christina Applegate revealed she’s confined to her bed due to ongoing pain as she continues to battle multiple sclerosis.
The “Married… with Children” alum made the heartbreaking confession while discussing how she still tries to take her daughter, Sadie, to school and other activities during an interview with People published Tuesday.
“I want to take her; it’s my favorite thing to do. It’s the only time we have together by ourselves,” she said. “I tell myself, ‘Just get her there safely and get home so you can get back into bed.’ And that’s what I do.”
Applegate, 54, shared that being restricted to her room has allowed her to be more unfiltered.
“My life isn’t wrapped up with a bow,” she said. “People’s lives, sorry for lack of a better term, f–king suck sometimes. So I’m being as honest and raw as I possibly can.”
The “You With Sad Eyes” author shares her 15-year-old with her husband, Martyn LeNoble, 56.
Applegate revealed that she was diagnosed with MS, a disease that causes weakness, numbness, difficulty walking and vision issues, in August 2021.
“It’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a–hole blocks it,” she wrote via X.
Since then, the “Dead to Me” star has periodically updated fans, revealing in August that she was hospitalized with “so much pain.”
At the time, Applegate explained to her “MeSsy Podcast” listeners that she was “screaming” with pain and diagnosed with a kidney infection.
That same month, the actress shared how her condition has “broken” her daughter.
“I see her look at me when I’m in bed and can’t quite move, or I wanna go say goodnight to her in her room, but I can’t quite get down the hallway for whatever reason that my legs aren’t working that day,” she said on her podcast.
“Right now I can barely get to bathroom, it’s the worst, but that’s neither here nor there,” Applegate added.
The “Bad Moms” star explained her condition was similar to Sadie “losing the mom she had,” describing her past self as “healthy, and a runner, and a Pelotoner and a dancer.”
Sadie, however, has supported her famous mother by assisting her while out in public and with using her cane, Applegate said.
