Shortly after Christina was diagnosed with MS, i was hospitalized and then diagnosed with it myself.
The things she posted and said helped me get through that time, and honestly, i felt less alone because of her. So if you ever see this, thank you Christina 🧡
My mother lived a long life with MS (88)...get a good sleep at night and pay careful attention to your diet--and your sense of humor. You'll be ok.
Science is revealing that most autoimmune conditions are caused by leaky gut syndrome. Finding out if you have this, and remedying it, may completely halt the onset of MS
I hope you can have a good day now and then. I am glad you feel less alone. We are rooting for you and your pain is our pain--or at least I hope we could somehow distribute your pain and issues to others now and then to give you some relief.
I've had MS for 19 years, eat a healthy diet AIP protocol is a great way to eat, exercise, stretching is fantastic, use your mind.
@@deezeliz You are smart and progressively thoughtful; keep doing what you are doing. (My mum liked to swim.) My mother was told she would not live more than a decade when she was dx'd in 1953 (at 19yo)...crying on camera and talking constantly about her symptoms and "struggle" --would never have crossed her mind as a path to wellness. This sort of health propaganda troubles me.
My heart is broken for her. People please don’t take your health for granted.
There's computer technology that helps eliminate animal and human testing and do more effective research to cure diseases. Dr. Shiva Ayadurai invented it. It's called Cytosolve. I don't know why the technology isnt being used. Look up Dr. Ayadurai's work on this.
These women are infinitely more than their MS struggles. When someone goes through something like MS, it is helpful to not be alone, commiserate & support, listen & give bits of knowledge & helpful tips of what you find that helps, and I am so glad these two found each other. Not only are they helping each other, by doing the podcast, they are going to help so many more people. People going through MS, caregivers, family, friends and also those dealing with other stuff too can take what resonates with their circumstances and through these two strong, beautiful, smart, funny, talented women understand their lives more. Thank you both for sharing and thank you Robin for the interview! And So It Is! 💜💜💜

My brother was diagnosed with MS in 2000 and it was foreign disease to us. He battled it for 15 yrs. The last 1.5 years, he lost his ability to speak clearly, very much like a stroke victim. So devastating to see how our family dealt (or didn't) with the progression of his symptoms, to the point of isolation and not willing step up and provide care and support. When serious illness happens, others true colors show. So grateful my husband and I stepped up and took him in. I miss him so.
My sister is battling this awful disease. I'm very sorry for your loss!
I have a difficult time with Christina Applegate crying on talk shows - particularly when I read a comment like yours. I'm so sorry for your loss; it's terrible what your brother went thru, but he was so very lucky to have you and your husband. Do not dwell on the "not dealing" ...it is normal...very normal. We spent a lifetime of struggling to deal with our mother and her MS... I think not coping is how we ultimately COPE. My mother was dx'd at 19. Proceeded to marry and have 3 kids. Lived to be 88. We squabbled over many things, but we agreed to keep her out of a nursing home ..and honestly, it's something I most proud of in my life.

God bless you! One of my younger sisters has MS and ultimately had a stroke and confined to a wheelchair. It is so terribly difficult at times being the caregiver.
You are a sweetheart and a good soul for taking him in. Thank you. My husband has Alzheimer's and your words struck home, hard--"so devastating to see how our family dealt (or didn't) with the progression of his symptoms, to the point of isolation and not willing to step up and provide care and support." That is my husband's narcissistic, awful daughters--all of them. I have to keep my rage at them as tamped down as possible. I've tried everything; they just refuse to give him the love and support he desperately needs--and deserves! He was a great dad! It's terribly disillusioning. Their true colors are definitely showing. Thank you again for not being like them!
I feel sorry for anyone suffering with a chronic illness whether it’s pain, depression, MS etc it just is brutal because it never goes away. Best of luck to both of these women they have entertained many people and given us the escape we all need from reality.

My mom was dx'd with MS when I was in high school. Hers got really bad. She moved in with my aunt for a year, and when it became too much for my aunt to do alone, my mom moved into a care home that focused on rehabilitation. After a year there, her MS inexplicably went into remission, and it never came back again (she ended up dying at age 50 from a completely unrelated heart issue). I knew others with MS (friends that my mom made during her journey with the disease) and it seems to affect each person differently and to varying degrees (similar to Parkinson's, which my dad had). So take heart! So much is still unknown about MS, and there is always a chance it could go into remission and/or new therapies and meds will be developed.
Your mom had MS and your dad had Parkinson’s? Oh my goodness I can’t imagine. My father also had Parkinson’s for about 10 years. At least from the time he was diagnosed. He passed away in 2021 to 6 months after my mother did, and she died from congestive heart failure and COPD. Neither one took very good care of themselves. My dad got the Parkinson’s from agent orange during his time in Vietnam during the war. It sucks to see somebody you love slowly be taken from you. He made the comment a couple of times that he was existing not living.
I don’t suffer from MS and can only imagine 😢 but I do have a condition that is not curable and relate to the daily struggle of getting through it. Her pain, disappointment, frustration, and even anger in the eyes is so real. Peace be with you 🙏🏻 💕
Two wonderful women who had iconic TV dads... and such heart! They are doing what they are meant to do! Bringing light to a horrific disease.
I have MS. It's really hard. I thank these women for talking about it so freely.
Did your symptoms start with tingling in your toes too?
I've had a tingling in my toes at random times over the last few years (along with slight numbness that doesn't last long). But I'm also a hypochondriac so not sure if its in just my mind
@@Irishgui83usually it's ongoing and doesn't go away for a while. I had tingling in 2 fingers which in a month evolved to half my body. MRI said MS. It's difficult to get à diagnosis because all thèse diseases mimic each other
@@mrsremise5594 thanks for your reply and the information 👍
I also have MS and I am so grateful for this also!
Same here.
I also have MS and am so happy that these amazing, strong, well-known women are speaking the truth about MS. It is freaking HARD and it sucks every single day. If people based their knowledge of MS on what the drug companies advertise, they'd think we are all out there hiking and swimming with no issues. Life with MS is far from that.
Some people have MS and lead active lifestyles. I know people with MS who run marathons. Not everybody with MS is doomed to misery, especially not now with highly effective medications out there.
@@mecarr Right on. My mother was dx'd at Mass General in 1953 - she was 19. Graduated college. Married at 22; 3 kids; a career would have been difficult, but she did all kinds of volunteer work = CCD and scouts. Yes, her mobility was limited...but she was not of the yoga and smoothie generation. Lived to be 88. Never cried; never felt "ashamed." This type of interview bothers me...they are rich, ego-driven celebrities who have access to so much medical support.
I remember right there are 4 types of MS I personally know 4 people with this terrible disease. One I knew most of my life and worked for her in her home to help her because she was jazzy bound. She passed away this past year due to colon cancer from the ms. She fought a good fight she made it to her 70’s. The other lady is in her 70,s wheel chair bound the other two do pretty well on their medication but by all means it is not easy to deal with even if you don’t have as aggressive disease as someone else. I have my self two auto immune diseases. The first one is Hashimoto’s, which is very common. The other one is autoimmune and a form of vasculitis called EGPA and living each day is very hard for me as well now even with treatment because I am more advanced and the Vasculitis really affects my lungs. So it’s hard to breathe. The people in the comments be grateful for having a healthy body that’s all I can say.
@@stephmartin1148 My apologies, Steph. YOU deserve the help and attention, not these women. They will be fine. Plenty of $$$. I hope you have access to decent healthcare.
@@julieb7785
I feel the same for you sweet lady!! Just had a scan on my lungs 3 months earlier then planned from the last CT scan and my opacities from my disease are worse. On 4 steroid inhalers they are 2,000 and a biologic injection Fasenra. Starting back on Rituximab soon. It’s another biologic I think they use for MS and RA too. I did best when I was on that for two years. The EGPA disease came on in the fall of 2019 during my youngest. pregnancy. I am on the patient assistance program for the Rituximab and Fasenra biologics where my insurance doesn’t cover any biologics. VERY grateful to be alive and be here to raise my kiddos aging from 15-3. I do have a very helpful hubby. So grateful for that too. Grateful for my great specialist, so many I have to see. Autoimmune is SO rough I wish you the best, God bless you!! 💕
Christina has such a big place in my heart. She was my childhood and still is ♥️
Yea me too.
I do the same thing. Just isolate. Once my MS progressed to where I couldn’t do normal things and go to normal everyday places, I really had to put a value on those kinds of things. I’m so thankful for things like DoorDash and Uber eats. The pandemic also aided those kinds of things for me and others with disabilities
My brother had it for easily 25 yrs. Thank goodness it didn't an affect on his terrific sense of humor and his compassionate heart and mind. He would take these unexpected falls and everything... and he kept trying to be his best. Corona was very hard on him though he never contracted it; he died in '22. I miss him so much and I'm so proud of him.
I'm sorry about your brother...
I was diagnosed in 2011 and my heart goes out to her. A sharp and self-deprecating humor really helps you cope and she truly hilarious.
My mother died from complications from MS in 2014 after a long battle. It's a terrible disease. I'm so glad Christina & Jamie are educating people about it because not a lot of people know about it. I wish them the best 🧡
I’m so glad you have each other. Thank you both for having the courage to share your journey. It will help so many others struggling. 🙏

What an absolute gem and a legend!!
She sure is.
I'm so glad they are taking the torch from Annette Funicello and bringing this horrible disease that took my mom's life at the age of 53. That happened 24 years ago when I was 16 and took care of my mom at 11 when she was diagnosed. Thank you Jamie and Christina, as well as Selma.
Sorry for your loss and childhood trauma😢😢😢😢
A devastating illness. My heart goes out to her and all others dealing with this. My son-in-law lost his mother to it.
Two powerful women bring to light such a horrific disease. I wish them both nothing but the best and happiness as they continue down the journey, not as having the disease but as two perfect and great friends. #prayers #respect
Thank you for this. I have long had symptoms that smack of MS. No official diagnosis though. I appreciate the strength of these women!
I don’t have MS but I have other neurological issues and it’s really great how they’re speaking out and being real and transparent in Hollywood- I can relate to having to deal with a new normal
God bless these ladies.
I developed Parkinsons at age 49.
I ABSOLUTELY FEEL FOR THEM!
We need women like these who are not afraid to share their experiences. They are our sources and our support until women’s health becomes a priority in our health care system. Until we are no longer dismissed as stressed, anxious or hysterical and are actually taken seriously, we need to be able to advocate for ourselves and fight to get the health care that we need and deserve.
I love that they don't let go of each other the entire interview. ♥️
My heart just breaks for her with this. Shes so smart, her comic timing always so spot-on and enjoyable. Fantastic on her spots on Friends.
This truly isnt fair. Glad to see she is getting some relief through a supportive friend, and all the love she got through that standing ovation.
Love you Christina!! Sending strength to you both!
I was diagnosed with MS in 2011. I'm very grateful that I have minimal symptoms. Slight vision problems and the right side of my right leg is cold all the time.
She’s amazing, she truly is! I’ve loved watching her on screen for decades and I wish her all the best!! ❤
Always enjoyed her character portrayals. Wishing her the best.
I adore Christina!!
its hard the weight when dealing with illness and medications. you are trying to deal with so much and your appearance changing as well while trying to stay confident and not worry about it because improving your illness is more important.
Is prednisone a factor as well?
Love them and their friendship. 🤍
These women are pure example of what resilience is both of them are still beautiful and are kicking ass for girl power. I wish him both nothing but the best. I’ve always been a Christina Applegate fan ever since the Bundys married with children. And I knew something was up when I saw the second season of her Netflix series dead to me. And when she finally opened up, and everybody found out the truth, it was heartbreaking to know if she was struggling through this but yet still putting great work out their way to go ladies your true inspiration.
God I love her so much. It's so heartbroken and so amazing she finished the series I loved, even tho she had to be held up by counters and doorposts. What a woman.
Great interview. Thank you for Sharing
I have MS. I was diagnosed with it after the birth of my second child. I had a new baby and a 1 year at the time. Everything you both are saying is so true. Your entire life stops. You don’t or can’t go anywhere. You lose your independence. Thank Christina for being so real about this horrible disease.
Christina Applegate is a great Actress ❤ Keep moving forward beautiful Lady 🙏
I'm proud of you both for doing this. Life is a hard place. God speed.
I don't have MS, but I have a relative of it and the daily struggle can be very real. Even with treatment...to go from a physically capable, fully functioning adult to something different is life altering. I love that these two are bringing the struggle to the forefront. More (much more) research needs to be done on these auto-immune diseases.
You are giving strength to so many who have not just MS, but other illnesses as well. Thank you both!
Thanks for sharing ♥
What a person. So very awesome!
Just subscribed to their podcast. Thank you to two wonderful people willing to share their story in an engaging way.
So crazy to see two outstanding Actresses having to fight this terrible disease. God Bless these women.❤
Selma Blair, too. Probably others we don't know about yet.
God Bless both of them!!!
I totally understand that feeling. I have had limiting vision issues that caused me a great deal of anxiety and stress from commuting to work to airport travel. I hid my issue for years because I thought I would pay a price . My life now is completely transparent about all my weaknesses so people understand and know all of me.
Wow, two amazing Souls teaching us to hold onto our humanity. Love ❤️ U Christina, you made so much joy emerge in the world.
She is LOVELY!!!! So happy for you....rooting for you❤
I was 14 when Married at children came out. My first girl poster was Christina Applegate ❤
I was about 24 when it first came out. I too had a poster. lol
@@victorblock3421 I was always bummed she never did topless
I LOVE these women. Thank you for giving them a platform to share their experience.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Best Blessings Christina..... Grew up watching "Married with Children", ....My tears of laughters to all episodes I washed....The Best.....in all times..🎉🎉🎉 won't compare to any.....
Christina May be 40# heavier but she needs to understand that she is still amazingly beautiful! We all need to reiterate that to her! When we get the chance.
God Bless you both 🙏 ❤️
Women everywhere are starting to wake up and realize we are stronger together. We've been silenced for so long. These are strong woman who are helping us set a new standard for how we will be treated in society. I'm sorry MS is a part of your stories, ladies, but you are both an inspiration to me.
Like many in the comments, I too have MS. So greatful these ladies are speaking up.
You two women are beyond beautiful and have so much purpose in helping people with MS but also people in general as your experience can be applied to people going through so many things. XOXO
Love these two..wishing them both the best..def will tune in to the podcast.
They are wonderful actors. Great of them to use their platform this way.
I'm glad Christina has such a beautiful friend to support her. I'm in awe of Jaime Lynn.
Married with children was everything ❤
Awesome and brave of em to share these rough experiences
Christina Applegate seems like such a great friend, she was absolutely the best on dead to me. What a great last project. She's amazing.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Christina and Jamie 🙏🏻 thank you for sharing your journey with us. You are still so beautiful Christina! ❤
Amazing Women ❤
Love Christina 💜
❤God bless girls. You will be helping alot of people
She's an amazing woman. Love her
My 57 year old Brother in law was diagnosed 2 years ago. He gets infusions once a month. He's looking into getting disability because he does not think he can work any more. One of his passions is riding his motorcycle and he's doubtful he will be able to do that as well. These women are so brave.
What a gift that they are doing a podcast together!!!
As someone who loved a woman with MS and was her caregiver, and years later fell in love with someone with Fibromyalgia, I am so proud to see these two icons using their respective platforms to raise awareness. Join the fight, until there is a cure. Let's Jazz Together 🎷😎🙏🏿✝️♥️
Hello beauties love you! My bff has been diagnosed with MS. My symptoms were near identical to MS but it turned out to be Neuromuscular Scoliosis. A daunting diagnosis as well but not as devastating as MS. Both of you woman are so special I love you. Yes we’re having challenges but hey we are great 🤗🫶🏼😘
I applaud the honesty. As someone with MS, it makes it hard to prove to a disability court that employment is impossible for some when others are still able to work. MS is different for every person, but being stuck in hell is a good analogy. I encourage all those with sufferings like MS to offer it up to the Lord, because that’s the only thing that keeps me sated.
Even with such a debilitating disease like Multiple sclerosis she hasn't lost her humor and wit. God bless you Christina.
i always loved her acting. ms must be incredibly challenging. i hope her symptoms improve and that she feels supported.
There's computer technology that helps eliminate animal and human testing and do more effective research to cure diseases. Dr. Shiva Ayadurai invented it. It's called Cytosolve. I don't know why the technology isnt being used. Look up Dr. Ayadurai's work on this.
Kinda ironic: her initials were MS in the Sopranos
I hope these lovely women get better and live a long time
God Bless Jamie and Christina s Great Success 😇 and their health ❤😊❤. Absolutely Amen 💖🥰🌹.
Godbless Christina and Jamie
Thank you for being honest Christina.
God bless you both
Both my daughters were diagnosed with MS two years ago.

Sorry if they mention it but why is Selma Blair not included in this? Applegate and Blair have starred in films together and I always found it to be a strange coincidence. Do the two not get along?
Really proud of these two wonderful and beautiful women.
How can i say this without sounding crude or rude. I love Christina and i feel so sorry for her suffering. Terrible to see her like this. I hope she doesn't feel the pressure to look good and please people.
Can someone answer this: I know several people who have lived with MS for years, but not even remotely experienced the degree of negative life impact and symptoms as Applegate. There must be different levels? different varieties? or does it affect each person very differently? (i'm genuinely curious)
My mom too, although she also got a brain stroke which left her unscathed as well.
Yes. Some people with MS have little or no symptoms, while others have debilitating symptoms. Getting a diagnosis soon after initial symptoms appear and then starting treatment quickly thereafter helps considerably as the treatment can effectively stop new lesions\disability. The more time that passes without treatment means the more the MS can spread and affect other nerve functions.
I was diagnosed at 52 years old and a male. My left leg feels asleep, I have ADD, which I never had before M.S., and have short-term memory loss, I can remember a baseball game from little league, but I cannot remember where I parked my car. Other than that, I am fine. I am on Retuximab once a year IV therapy that takes like 3 hours. Sigler does Kesimpta commercials, which is another monoclonal antibody treatment. I guess everybody is different.
You can’t tell just by looking at someone. If you listen to the podcast, you’ll hear of Jaime’s horrible symptoms. I have had MS for 25 years and get frustrated when ppl say “but you look SO GOOD!” As if I was making the whole thing up.
Absolutely love her 💞
PLEASE OPEN PODCAST UP TO UA-cam :)
Where can we watch or listen to their podcast???💗
They are such beautiful ladies, inside and out.
They are both amazing women!
I have so much respect for these ladies! Amazing actresses and amazing for how they are dealing with MS. If anyone can best this disease it is them!❤
MS is a disease that impacts everyone differently. I’ve was DX with MS in 2017. Since my diagnosis I’ve struggled, however, we are more than our disease. Since diagnosis, I’ve had my 4th child, had 6 different job promotions, I went back to school and got my bachelor’s. Bought my first home that was a fixer upper and have been remodeling since 2022. Got married in 2023. Im training for my 5th marathon- 4th since diagnosis, I backpacked the enchantments, coached various sports teams, etc. Anything is possible but the disease is different for everyone. Take it one day at a time, do what you can with the abilities you have, and keep moving forward.
You have a great attitude and a true inspiration to everybody of not letting anything in life hold you back from living your best life. God bless you
She's been in the minds of young boys forever forever
As Kellie 😂
I love Christina and have so much respect for her. If I lived nearby I come by every day to help her and I wouldn't charge her a penny
Autoimmune can be hell! MS seems to be one of the more challenging ones. Hearts out to them ❤
Has anyone in the MS community that you know of has ever heard of or tried the carnivore diet? I know I've read it reduces inflammation very well. My 26 yr old daughter is on it for endometriosis. It helped her out right off the bat, but she had to get the lesions surgically removed to really reduce her issues. She's staying on the plan, though, and we hope it keeps the lesions away.
@@kronymom I don’t know for sure but I do know that most non-animal foods are sprayed with toxic chemicals and most processed foods are stripped of nutrients and contain dangerous amounts of sugar and preservatives. I suspect that’s why keto and other carnivore diets are helping.
Just love her ❤
May god bless her
My auntie died of MS 💔 she was a sweetheart... I didn't know she had MS until she was terminally ill because the family kept it a secret. It broke my heart when i found out 😢
I love her SO MUCH
