MS is a chronic and unpredictable disease that affects the central nervous system.

And that’s what I do. So now I ask for privacy. As I go through this thing.”
The actress has been open about her health struggles in the past. In 2008, she underwent a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She has been an advocate for breast cancer awareness and has used her experience to help others going through similar battles.
Applegate’s strength and determination in the face of adversity is truly inspiring. Despite her diagnosis, she continues to work and has not let MS stop her from pursuing her passion for acting. She is set to star in the upcoming Netflix series ‘Dead to Me’ and has assured her fans that she will not let her condition affect her work.
Her positive attitude and resilience have been praised by her fans and colleagues. Actress Selma Blair, who was also diagnosed with MS in 2018, commented on Applegate’s post, “I love you. You know what this is. You know what you need to do. And you know how to do it. I’m here. Always. Xoxoxoxoxoxo.”
