Christina Applegate says she was misdiagnosed and does not have MS
Actress Christina Applegate says she was misdiagnosed and does not have multiple sclerosis, according to PBS. Applegate revealed in 2021 that she had been diagnosed with MS, a revelation she said changed her life and led her to step back from acting. Her announcement of a misdiagnosis is drawing widespread attention from fans and health commentators, many expressing surprise given how publicly she discussed living with the condition in recent years.
Why now: It reverses a widely known public health disclosure she made years earlier, prompting surprise and discussion about diagnostic error.
