The Emmy award recipient Christina Applegate announces that she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) a few months ago.
“Hi, friends. A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS,” the 49-year-old actor explained in a tweet on Tuesday.
Multiple sclerosis is a potentially disabling illness that affects the brain and spinal cord.
Naming it a “strange journey”, Applegate said she is appreciative to the people, who also have this condition, for their support.
“But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition. It’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a**hole blocks it,” she continued.
The actor, who features in Netflix’s dark tragicomedy sequel Dead to Me, was formerly diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2008.
Later in the month, it was declared that Applegate was cancer-free after a double mastectomy, yet cancer was found in only one breast.
