Christina Applegate says she was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis, according to The Hollywood Reporter

The disclosure was made on MeSsy, the podcast Applegate co-hosts with Jamie Lynn Sigler. The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline and Variety identified the program as the setting for Applegate’s account of the revised medical information.

Applegate said she has not gotten better and described herself as being back at square one. She also said that her condition has gotten worse in some ways, according to the reports from the five supplied publications.

Variety reports that Applegate returned to MeSsy after a seven-month break related to her health. The disclosure followed a period in which the podcast was away from publication, according to that report.

Deadline reports that Applegate had previously been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021. The earlier diagnosis had been publicly associated with her health advocacy, but the supplied evidence establishes only the reported chronology and does not independently verify either the earlier or revised diagnosis.

The available reports do not identify the condition causing Applegate’s symptoms or provide further medical details or independent medical confirmation of a revised diagnosis. Her account therefore documents a reported change in what she was told medically, while leaving the underlying condition unresolved in the supplied sources.
