Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Cristina Applegate is giving us an insight into her daily battles with multiple sclerosis… which she says has become almost unbearably painful.
The actress – who first shared her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2021 – revealed in Dax Shepardon the “Armchair Expert” podcast that she now has 30 lesions on her brain, the largest of which is behind her right eye. She says it’s causing so much pain that she describes it as “the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life. I hate it so much and I’m so angry about it.”
Fortunately, the injury has not yet affected his vision. She experienced other side effects from multiple sclerosis, however, as her mobility was greatly affected.
She added: “My hand starts to feel weird and sometimes I get a convulsive feeling in my brain.”
Christina says the pain is so intense, “You can’t get over it”… and she gets irritated when people ask her why she doesn’t exercise.
Despite her struggles, she wants to speak the truth about it all – and remembers not being completely honest when she had breast cancer in 2008… something she says didn’t help anyone, especially herself.

Even so, the star didn’t lose his humor amid his health battles. Remember, Christina — who uses a cane to walk due to her multiple sclerosis — riled up the crowd at the Emmys after they gave her a standing ovation during the rare public appearance.
Like Selma Blair, Christina is committed to using her platform to raise awareness for MS.
