"Shooting [] was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life," she says."I was diagnosed during shooting and I didn't know what was happening to me. I couldn’t walk. They had to use a wheelchair to get me to set. I was freaking out until someone was like, 'You need a MRI.
She adds,"Then I found out on a Monday after work that I had MS. A disease that I'm going to have for the rest of my life. And then I started thinking about the last four years and I had very small symptoms.""We were on set, and I would go, 'Oh, I think I'm tired,'" she says."So it presented itself a few years ago until it just got as bad as it did."
Applegate first shared the news of her MS in August 2021."It’s been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition," she tweeted.In November, during her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.
