Christina Applegate reveals multiple sclerosis diagnosis l GMA 

There are so many treatments these days. It’s gone from 3 options to 13 in a decade. I have MS and I know people who have gone 20 years without a flare up. I’ve gone 7 years without a flare up since my diagnosis.

What is crazy is that she and Selma Blair were in the same movie with Cameron Diaz and now both have it...The sweetest thing is one of my favorite movies!

She's a class act and I wish her nothing but the best treatment, good things, and happiness!

She has been through alot. She had breast cancer awhile back. I wish her the best. God bless

She just can’t seem to catch a break. So sad. I really like her. She seems so strong and she’s so funny!! I wish her the very best.

I was diagnosed in 2020 and it has been brutal..I'm no longer working due to dizziness and balance issues. I applaud Ms. Applegate on her bravery in sharing her journey. 🙏🏽👏🏾

My mom was diagnosed at 50. She is 68 now. Thankfully she's only had mild symptoms all these years. Mostly fatigue and some balance issues sometimes. For a long time (10 + years) she took daily shots. Prayers.

Christina is a ROCKSTAR and a warrior! Much love to her!

This poor woman can not catch a break. First Cancer and now MS. And she seems like such a good person and she's a great actress.

I appreciate these actresses talking about MS. I got diagnosed in March and it’s been a painful lonely journey. Prayers to all those navigating their disease

This poor woman. My heart goes out to her. So sad.

I wish Christina well, she really has been through a lot.

So sorry to hear this, we love her, she is hilarious in “Dead to me”, love her show. Best wishes to her.

She's such a funny and talented woman. Bless her and her fight against this illness.

I was diagnosed in 2006 it’s been tough hang in there Christina 🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹Sending prayers 🙏🙏🌹🌹

My heart goes out to her, my aunt got diagnosed w MS a few years ago and fought a tough battle sadly she passed away in 2019 unexpectedly. Will be keeping Christina in my prayers

Living with MS is possible. I have lived with it for 9 years. Hang in there. Build your support system. You are not alone. Blessings to you as you go through this new journey in your life.

Funny lady indeed. She has the real stuff and has delivered the goods over 30 years. Prayers for Christina and Selma.

There are different types. My sister was diagnosed more than 25 years ago. They gave her some medication but it made her real sick. Basically she gets debilitating headaches and will spend a day in bed once in a while. She's still active and hasn't lost her ability to walk. Still very strong

My heart goes out… damn. Sending so much love to her and Selma. Two extraordinary women. 🌹🌹

It’s weird how when you’re young you see young celebrities with you and as you grow older you realize all the hard things they go through. You’d never thought they’d go through so many challenges. We’re all the same, in the same struggles, together. Sending her love and good vibes. Praying for her and everyone going through this debilitating condition.

Oh no!! So sorry for her, I grew up watching her on Married with Children. My prayers are with you!!

I also have MS. Diagnosed 1997. Was the scariest time of my life! Treatment has come along way since then. I had to except this disease and make peace with it. Symptoms are different for everyone. I try every day not to dwell on the negative and remember how lucky I am compared to some. Not being in control of my body is the hardest to accept. My husband and family have been such a great support. Stay strong, Christina and get on one of the many great treatments available now. You Got This Girl! 🙏❤️

I lift her up in prayer for all the medical issues she has been thru, feel better Christina

I grew up watching her as Kelly Bundy in Married with Children. It is so sad what she’s going through.

So many live with MS, my step grandmother did and she passed in 97 after being diagnosed 3 years earlier and there wasn’t really promising treatments back then, Clay Walker has MS, Selma Blair as well, just to name a couple and Clay created the Charity BAND Against MS and he’s been living with MS for 25 years after being diagnosed in 96 and he does many things to keep active on and off the road, including lifestyle changes… Wish Christina Love&Prayers and wish her the best on finding treatments for her MS❤️

Praying for her and her family. I’m so sorry. I grew up with her and she’s such an amazing actress!!! Can’t believe all she’s been through and it makes me sad 😢

Love Christina, a brilliant actress. Prayers and good thoughts!

A very strong woman going thru lot of personal challenges is really tough to digest , she deserves lot of support and prayers.

Prayers for strength in dealing with this

I was recently diagnosed with these disease and I know how this time feels. Prayers going her way

Thank You Sooo much for your courage!!!

Prayers 🙏🏼 for everyone going through a disability or illness

We never know what life is going to throw at us.😢 Who would have thought the young girl on Married with Children who seemed to have everything going for her would go through so much. It’s very sad.😢

Sorry to hear this. Always have loved this lady's gift. ♡♡♡

I was diagnosed with MS last year. I'm 29 and a man so my odds were even more unlikely. I take the monthly infusion of tysabri and luckily have decent health insurance so my costs are minimal. The disease is unpredictable in the sense I get this flaring feeling in my right hand at random times and my mouth hasn't felt the same since I was released from hospital and told by a specialist I had MS late last year. You have lower energy levels and feel more sleepy all the time. It sucks this all happened in the background of this historic pandemic. I've gotten fully vaccinated but still have anxiety near strangers maskless, riding on public transit or even members of my extended family. My only exercise is walking outside because I'm scared to go to a gym. My only hope is this MRNA technology that made the Covid vaccine takes off quickly and companies like Pfizer, Biontech, Moderna and Sanofi come up with a MS vaccine that basically works somewhat like a cure reducing symptoms and the need for monthly transfusions. However there is no project Warp speed for MS it likely will go through regular clinical trials and FDA approvals so take a minimum of 5-10 years if at all.

This girl has been through enough already! May she find the strength to fight through this new challenge. We are all pulling for you Christina 🥰

My heart goes for her

My heartfelt concern and best wishes for Christina. My daughter had aggressive breast cancer and friends have MS so I have some insight into her struggles. I wish you all the best and hope you give us updates from time to time.

Christina has sure been through enough. I wish her the best. I can't believe she's almost 50, very beautiful.

My daughter has the worst type you can have. Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and I have RRMS and it's been a very difficult road to travel. My daughter's disease will never stop progressing no matter how much treatment she receives. So my heart goes out to Christina. MS is a horrible illness for some and not as bad for others, many only relapse once and never again while others do it over and over again. Then there are those like my daughter that the nightmare never ends. She was 13 when she first became symptomatic and 18 when the repeated hospitalizations began and 21 when she was finally properly diagnosed. Now at 29 her life is ruled by this illness on a physical level but mentally she's strong from all she's been through. I do have relapses and they're no picnic but I get through it and that's a blessing in comparison to others. Actresses like Selma Blair and others like Jack Osbourne are positive role models for those struggling with this disease. I wish Christina well, with all she's been through with Breast Cancer and now this she is a trooper that's for sure. She's still able to work and that alone is a blessing to have something to put your thoughts and energy into. God Bless her.

Christina is such a beautiful iconic actress, she’s had her share of crap...she’s very brave and we love her!

Love her, wish her all the best. I have MS and it is terrible. Every day is a struggle. Pain is constant. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

We love you Christina. Praying for you and sending you much strength. 💖💖

My sister in law died at 49 from this. She had a bad case and was diagnosed around 18. It's different for everyone. Some have milder cases.

My father had MS. I am really sorry to hear this.

This is amazing, once diagnosed, I took this personally and lived alone, in my mind! I only new about Teri Carr, montel Williams and eventually, Neil Cavuto; now, I have learned about Selma Blair and, now Christina and each story has similarities and has so many differences. I thank you all for sharing your stories and not being afraid or ashamed to do so! I thank you and also for all supporters...I am grateful, I am not so alone, any longer!

Aw man! 😢 I ❤️ her and Selma Blair.

Prayers for Christina 🙏

Damn first Selma Blair now her….I like those two. My heart goes out to her.

Dam, always liked her. She's been through cancer and now this. Stay strong Christina. 💪🏼

There are different types of multiple sclerosis. Relapsing remitting is the most prevalent, affecting 80% of MSers. It’s also the most responsive to treatment. There is also primary progressive and secondary progressive, much less responsive to treatment. All types can be disabling, but the degree of which varies from person to person. No two MSers will present with the same symptoms.

My heart goes to her. I'm very sorry for her pain and illness. Hang in there and be strong. One never know what the future has for us. It can happen to anyone. God bless you

Hope she gets well. Very beautiful person inside out

Christina Applegate your are great! I Hope you keep up the fight to live and be happy!

Prayers for her and her treatment.

She’s always so beautiful no matter what! She’s got the attitude to overcome anything!

She is still very gorgeous 🥰

This poor woman just can't catch a break! First cancer and now this! God Bless her! 🙏😇 Sending lots of love, prayers, and healing energies her way! 💖

I really love this Actress She has already suffered so much already Hopefully,she will live her best life and stay strong

She has been through so much. Praying for her. 🙏🙏 Love her so much, she's great in anything!

I found out I had it almost a year ago, my doc said I should have been diagnosed 40 years ago but we rarely went to doctors, my mom used to tell me I was lazy and clumsy. Take your kids to the doctor if they are not doing well!!! You can change or save a life!!!

Christine your a star and you always will shine in our eyes your one super Strong sweet individual We all love you❤❤

I am so sorry you have been through so much and so young...to hear this really hurts. But you always seem to push through and I am hoping you will with this also.

I love seeing her act. I hope she never stops if she doesn’t want to.

Wishing her all the best, Christina played the most convincing airhead I've ever seen when in reality she's extremely intelligent. FYI at 2:00 her date was Matt LeBlanc who was a bigger airhead than her and when she told him she wasn't home he said something like"Well is it alright if I come in and wait for you".

Wow. She's been through so much, and now this. I hope her case stays in remission most of the time.

I hope you feel better, Christina! We will be praying for your health!

Sending healing prayers and so much love for you, Christina, as you manage this new diagnosis. ❤🙏🏼❤️

This reminds me of Christina Amphlett, lead singer for Divinyls who also had breast cancer and MS. I'm so sorry about Christina Applegate's health issues. I hope that her MS is the slow kind. I've enjoyed Christina's shows...she is always a class act, a great comedienne and actor, and she has always looked great in every decade. I feel it is now time for her fans to send her their love and wish her the best because she has given us a lot of joy over many years. So good luck, Christina...there are ways of living and eating that reduce the symptoms of MS...I hope you will find an equilibrium that will aid you to manage your MS. There are books on this by doctors who have also had MS. They are worth investigating because you can live with this disease especially if your cancer is in recession.

This is somebody so many looked up to for her beauty and hard won success growing up. What a stellar lady! I’m grateful for brave women like Selma Blair have shared their struggle to empower and encourage ameach other. Keep fighting. Stay strong, and keep sharing. Stay here for each other. Keep reaching out. Hope is high for the very best.

Thank You for sharing your story, I have PPMS and it’s a struggle but, it helps to know somebody somewhere understands

We love you and pray for you so much. Your so wonderful..

Get well Christina!

We hope that Christina may overcome this disease. She is truly beautiful.

What a shame, such a lovely woman i wish her all the best.

Wow, she's had her share. Double mastectomy, hysterectomy & now MS. I hope she has every opportunity to be happy, that's all that matters.

Wow that’s a hard hand to play. So sorry and wishing Christina the best.

Sending love and light to Christina and everyone facing serious health issues❤
