The actor recalled experiencing an early symptom of multiple sclerosis while filming the smash Netflix series' pilot episode.
More than three years after going public with her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, Christina Applegate continues to reflect on her earliest experiences with the disease.
On Tuesday’s episode of her “MeSsy” podcast, the actor recalled experiencing one of the first symptoms of multiple sclerosis, or MS, while filming the pilot episode of the smash Netflix series “Dead to Me.”
In conversation with “Dead to Me” creator Liz Feldman, Applegate discussed a scene from the episode that required her to run across a field, saying, “I remember falling that day. Hi, first signs of MS!”
Feldman, meanwhile, assumed the actor was just fatigued due to the series’ rigorous shooting schedule.
“I remember you losing your balance a couple of times, but it was very hard to figure out,” she said. “I remember one time it was like really late at night, we’d been shooting probably 14 or 15 hours, it seemed completely reasonable that anybody would be collapsing.”
