Christina Applegate discharged from hospital after shockingly long stay

I have so many friends who have MS, and we talk to each other constantly. And I don't have one that says, I'm great. There is no great. There's a better day and a lesser day. This is a lifelong disease with no cure, period. Where am I at with acceptance? Not at all. I hate it. That was Christina Applegate back in March, detailing her battle with MS. And now, a new report reveals that just weeks after that interview, the actress was admitted for a nearly four-month hospital stay in Los Angeles. The 54-year-old actress, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021, has been hospitalized before for pain associated with the disease. She revealed earlier this year to People magazine that she was confined to her bed, but was trying to be present to take her 15-year-old daughter, Sadie, to school. Applegate is now back home and doing well after her most recent hospitalization, according to a source who spoke to TMZ. It's unclear if this most recent stay was due to the autoimmune disease, which can cause numbness, weakness, trouble walking, and vision problems. TMZ broke the news of her hospital stay earlier this spring, at the time Applegate's representative gave this statement to Page Six, saying about the actress, quote, She's had a long history of complicated medical conditions that she has been refreshingly open about. A few days after that statement, the Married with Children star addressed the health scare on Instagram, sharing this photo of her memoir, You with the Sad Eyes, and a mug, writing, Thank you for the outpouring of love and well wishes. Health issues are a constant for me, but I'm a strong chick and I'm getting stronger and better every day. I'm taking a moment to focus on my health, but I'll be back with more to say soon enough. Just last month, David Faustino, who played Applegate's brother on the 80s sitcom Married with Children, revealed that the disease hadn't stolen his onscreen sister's sense of humor. Faustino told US Weekly that Applegate had a, quote, dry, sarcastic sense of humor since the moment he met her, and added, quote, Nothing has changed. Married with Children stars Faustino, Katie Seagal, who played mom Peggy Bundy, and her onscreen neighbor, Amanda Beers, all showed up to celebrate Applegate when she received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2022. Seagal gave this emotional speech to her TV daughter at the event. But I love the fact that to this day, you still call me mommy. I love you so much, my sweetheart. You're not alone. We're all here. We love you.
