Christina Applegate Hospitalized Over 30 Times Amid MS Struggles

Christina Applegate has opened up about her struggles with multiple sclerosis (MS) during her 'MeSsy' podcast, revealing that she has been hospitalized over 30 times since her diagnosis in 2021 due to severe symptoms including vomiting, diarrhea, and pain. The actress emphasized the connection between her gastrointestinal issues and MS, suggesting that the disease may be slowing down her organ function. Applegate urged listeners to discuss potential 'motility issues' with their doctors, as she has experienced patterns that she believes are related to her MS. Despite her neuro's assertion that her symptoms are not typical for MS, she remains convinced of a correlation. Applegate's candidness serves as a call for others facing similar challenges to advocate for their health. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society estimates nearly one million people in the U.S. are living with MS, highlighting the broader context of her experiences.
