Christina Applegate ignored early MS symptoms: 'I didn't pay attention'

Christina Applegate is sharing more about the symptoms she experienced before being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and why she overlooked them.

"My symptoms had started in the early part of 2021, and it was, like, literally just tingling on my toes. And by the time we started shooting in the summer of that same year, I was being brought to set in a wheelchair. Like, I couldn't walk that far," she explained on "Good Morning America" with Robin Roberts. "So I had to tell everybody, because I needed help." "I'm flipping the bird all day long at this thing. And I'm angry. I'm really, really p-----. You know I was a dancer and a runner and all these things that I love." Caroline Thayer is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.

Applegate believes she had likely been suffering from the disease for much longer, but explained how she'd ignored other symptoms. "I probably had it for many, many years," she told Roberts. "Probably six or seven years."
