Christina Applegate’s Career Was Impacted by MS Diagnosis 

Christina was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) while filming the final season of Dead to Me in the summer of 2021, causing production to come to halt for about five months while she began treatment. MS is an “unpredictable disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body,” according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. There is no cure for MS.

She opened up about her diagnosis in a profile with The New York Times published in November 2022, just ahead of the premiere of the show’s fourth and final season.

“There was the sense of, ‘Well, let’s get her some medicine so she can get better.’ And there is no better. But it was good for me. I needed to process my loss of my life, my loss of that part of me. So I needed that time,” she told the outlet.  “Although it’s not like I came on the other side of it, like, ‘Woohoo, I’m totally fine.’ Acceptance? No. I’m never going to accept this. I’m pissed.”

The Emmy Award-winning actress continued: “This is the first time anyone’s going to see me the way I am. I put on 40 pounds; I can’t walk without a cane. I want people to know that I am very aware of all of that.”
