The 51-year-old American actress suffers from multiple sclerosis. Christina Applegate gained a lot of weight and stopped recognizing herself in the mirror.

The actress who played one of Rachel’s sisters in Friends is now unable to perceive herself on screen. Christina admitted that her appearance has changed because of a serious illness.

Christina’s health problems began two years ago: she complained of pain in her legs and tremors. As a result, the star was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

It is an autoimmune disease that affects specific areas of the central nervous system, which further leads to unpredictable physical, cognitive and emotional symptoms. There is no cure for multiple sclerosis, only to help relieve symptoms or slow the progression of the disease.

Christina was able to watch the new season of the series with her participation only after many months. “I don’t like watching me suffer. And I also gained 18 kilograms due to physical inactivity and medications. I didn’t look like myself and didn’t feel like myself, ” Applegate shared in an interview with The Los Angeles Times.

We hope for a speedy recovery! Lets wish the actress good health and strong will to fight with the disease!
