Christina Applegate – Multiple Sclerosis
In 2021, as the final season of her Netflix hit Dead To Me unfolded, Christina Applegate confronted a new and formidable adversary: Multiple Sclerosis. Looking back, she recognized the subtle early warning signs—like a faltering tennis game due to an unsettling sense of imbalance—but, like many, she attributed them to other factors, dismissing them as mere byproducts of a hectic lifestyle.
Christina’s indomitable spirit shone through as she made her first post-diagnosis public appearance during the unveiling of her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Her brave Twitter declaration, candidly discussing her condition, marked a turning point. Not only did she shed light on her journey, but she also showcased her array of stylish canes, now an integral part of her daily life—a symbol of resilience and an inspiration to all.
