Christina Applegate with illness update: – I smell so bad

In 2021, actress Christina Applegate (52) was diagnosed with the nerve disease multiple sclerosis, better known as MS.

Now the actor shares an honest update on the condition in the podcast “MeSsy”.

– Terrible

Applegate says that she is in a bad period with the disease, which has led to her not being able to shower.

– Honestly, all you have to do here is buy shares in Cottonelle (American wet wipe and toilet paper brand, journal. note), because I haven’t showered in three weeks, says the 52-year-old in the episode, reproduced by Australian News.

She further explains that it is because she is unable to stand in the shower.

– There is no bloody way I can use my shower, she continues, and explains that she has tried to sit on a bench in the shower, but that she slips right off.

Thus, in recent weeks, Applegate has been washing himself with wet wipes.

– I smell so bad. It is terrible. Thank God that I am always alone, so that no one smells me, except Sades, admits the actor and refers to his daughter Sadie (12).

According to Helsenorge, MS affects the central nervous system – the brain and spinal cord. The course of the disease varies from person to person, and there are a number of drugs that can slow down the disease.

– Uses a diaper

In an interview with People last month, Applegate spoke further about the disease – including her dependence on diapers.

– Well, you’re peeing… in your pants. Because you usually don’t make it to the toilet in time. So yes, I use diapers, she told the website.

The actress also shared that she has been hospitalized several times due to pain.

– They don’t quite know what’s wrong with me, but we’re pretty sure that my stomach and my intestines are not very good friends. It gives me immense pain and makes me throw up.
