Christina Applegate has revealed how she overlooked an early symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS) while filming her Netflix series Dead to Me.
Speaking on the latest episode of her MeSsy podcast, which she co-hosts with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who also has MS, Applegate explained how she fell over while filming a running sequence in a field. She didn’t realize it at the time, but this was an early sign of her MS.
