Christina Applegate Says She Feels Like Her Multiple Sclerosis Is ‘Getting Worse’

“I keep thinking that I’m just going to wake up from this nightmare,” the actor said.

Christina Applegate got emotional opening up about her struggle with multiple sclerosis, nearly four years after she was first diagnosed.

“I am defined by it right now,” the actor said during an appearance on Hoda Kotb’s podcast, “Making Space,” which was released on Wednesday.

“I have days where I can’t even walk to the bathroom, so I am defined by it,” Applegate said.

“I’m angry at it still, and there’s a lot of us out there who are newly diagnosed that are not quite ready to accept this reality,” she explained. “I keep thinking that I’m just going to wake up from this nightmare, and it’s just going to be over.”

The “Dead to Me” actor added, “I want to do these things and I can’t, and it feels like I’m getting worse. And that’s disheartening. But then there’s like this voice inside of me that is like, ‘You’ve got to believe in a miracle. You’ve got to believe in another side of this.’”
