Christina Applegate is sharing a candid update on her health.
Years after sharing her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, the Married…with Children alum opened up about how her condition has rendered her bedridden due to chronic pain. But even through Christina’s struggles with MS, spending time with her 15-year-old daughter Sadie—who she shares with husband Martyn LeNoble—at school drop-off is worth fighting for.
“I want to take her; it’s my favorite thing to do,” Christina told People in an interview published Feb. 24. “It’s the only time we have together by ourselves”
“I tell myself, ‘Just get her there safely and get home so you can get back into bed,’” the 54-year-old explained. “And that’s what I do.”
Since being diagnosed with the autoimmune disease, which impacts the central nervous system, the Dead to Me actress has been candid about how the condition, which she went public with in 2021, has impacted on her life.
“My life isn’t wrapped up with a bow,” she explained. “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.”
