So sad to announce Christina Applegate, 49: She has MS. “I was diagnosed with MS a few months ago,” said the actress, who made headlines on the legendary sitcom “A Very Nice Family” in the late 1980s. It’s a tough road, but she has the support of other patients, Applegate explains. Ask for privacy while “going through this thing”.
It’s not the first health challenge Applegate has to face. In 2008, she had both breasts removed after being diagnosed with cancer. In 2017, her ovaries and fallopian tubes were removed to prevent cancer recurrence.
The Hollywood star, who thanks to films such as “Mars Attacks” (1996), “Vacation” (2015) and “Bad Moms” (2016), has been able to celebrate a long career in cinema after her television adventure as the daughter of Al Bundy, suffers from a mutation in her gene. BRCA1 significantly increases the risk of cancer in women. She once said that women don’t get sick and then beat it. “You’re always reminded–every day you wake up thinking: ‘Well, this happened to me.'”
Selma Blair is getting sick too
Applegate’s colleague, 49-year-old Selma Blair, who was diagnosed with MS in 2018, proved just how difficult it is to fight the incurable neurological disease: She had to undergo chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant. Meanwhile, the “Fog – Nebel des Horens” actress has recovered from her treatment, and her hair fall was still the smallest “thing”.
In March of this year, the 60-year-old Züri-West singer Kuno Lauener announced that he had multiple sclerosis. “Sometimes the leg doesn’t really work, and then I have a windy grind,” he said in an interview. “The dropouts annoy me. I still forget things.” There will be moderate courses, but others will be severely damaged. Lorner: “I’m glad I got sick now, not sooner.” (hgo)
incurable

Symptoms are spastic paralysis, weakness, and incoordination. Likewise, MS patients notice numbness in their arms, torso, or legs. About 10,000 people in Switzerland suffer from MS. The disease is incurable. But there are treatments that can enable the patient to live a more free and independent life.
