Overview
- Applegate disclosed on her MeSsy podcast that a doctor recently told her she does not have multiple sclerosis after living for years under a 2021 diagnosis.
- She revealed one week ago that the corrected diagnosis followed a roughly four-month hospital stay that led to a full re-evaluation of her condition.
- Despite no MS diagnosis, Applegate says she still has severe pain and mobility limits, including difficulty getting out of bed and the use of a walking aid.
- She told listeners she will see a rheumatologist next and will consult additional specialists step by step if tests do not produce answers.
- Applegate said she will continue advocacy work and the MeSsy podcast with co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who has MS, because she remains committed to the MS community despite the diagnostic change.
