Christina Applegate is reportedly back in the hospital as her ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis continues to take a serious toll.
According to reports, the 54-year-old actress was admitted late last month, though the exact reason for this latest hospitalization has not been officially confirmed. Her representative declined to comment on the specifics, citing her long history of complex medical issues.
While details about this particular visit remain unclear, Applegate has previously opened up about the kinds of complications that have repeatedly landed her in the hospital.
Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021, the actress has been candid about the severe symptoms she faces — including intense nerve pain, extreme fatigue, and mobility issues that often leave her confined to bed.
She has also dealt with additional health scares tied to her condition.
In a past podcast episode, Applegate revealed she has been hospitalized more than 30 times since her diagnosis, undergoing a wide range of tests and treatments as doctors try to manage her symptoms.
One of those hospitalizations came after a severe kidney infection following a trip to Europe. She described waking up in excruciating pain, saying it was so intense it left her “screaming” before she was rushed in for emergency care.
Applegate has also spoken about the crushing exhaustion caused by MS, comparing it to feeling like she hasn’t slept for days — even after a full night’s rest.
Despite the physical toll, she continues to push through for the moments that matter most, especially spending time with her daughter.
“I just get her to school and then go back to bed,” she shared, highlighting how much her day-to-day life has changed.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease that attacks the nervous system, leading to symptoms like numbness, weakness, difficulty walking, and vision problems. It can also trigger flare-ups and complications that require urgent medical attention.
Applegate has been open about the emotional side of her journey as well, recently sharing in her memoir that the diagnosis forced her to slow down and rethink everything.
