Christina Applegate, 54, is ‘hospitalized’ amid MS battle… after revealing she is largely confined to her bed with the disease
Christina Applegate has been ‘hospitalized’ amid her ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Sources told TMZ that the 54-year-old actress was admitted into a hospital late last month, but a reason has yet to be revealed.
Applegate’s rep told the Daily Mail, ‘I have no comment on whether she is in the hospital or what her medical treatments are.
‘She’s had a long history of complicated medical conditions that she has been refreshingly open about, as evidenced in her memoir and on her podcast.’
The Married… With Children actress announced her diagnosis with the chronic autoimmune disease in 2021.
And a few months earlier in February, Applegate heartbrokenly shared that she is mainly confined to her bed due to her MS battle.

During an interview with People at the time, the star explained how the pain has largely kept her in bed.
However, she will make the effort to leave her bedroom for her teenage daughter Sadie – such as taking her to school.
‘I want to take her; it’s my favorite thing to do. It’s the only time we have together by ourselves,’ the actress told the outlet.
‘I tell myself, “Just get her there safely and get home so you can get back into bed.” And that’s what I do.’
Applegate further expressed, ‘My life isn’t wrapped up with a bow. People’s lives, sorry for lack of a better term, f***ing suck sometimes. So I’m being as honest and raw as I possibly can.’
Multiple sclerosis occurs when ‘the immune system attacks the protective sheath that covers nerve fibers, known as myelin,’ per Mayo Clinic.
The disease ‘can cause numbness, weakness, trouble walking, vision changes and other symptoms.’
The Dead To Me actress also reflected on her MS battle in an emotional essay that was published in The Guardian in March.

‘One of the worst side-effects of the illness is the exhaustion,’ Applegate candidly wrote.
‘It feels as though I’ve been on a three‑day sleepless bender – and that’s how I feel after a good night’s sleep. Hence all the time I spend on and in bed, snuggled up against my heating pad.’
She continued, ‘On the back of that diagnosis and the symptoms I face, I no longer care what I say or how I come across or how it makes anyone feel.
‘I don’t have patience for bullshit any more, for things that are meaningless or merely “extra.”‘
