The MS journey: From onset to Emmy ovation

The 2024 Emmy Awards were a rollercoaster for Christina. Imagine presenting an award while your world's spinning – that's what she did, folks! "I got so freaked out," she confessed, but even a blackout moment couldn't dim her comedic shine. The crowd went wild, giving her a standing ovation that was both heartwarming and hilariously called out by Christina. "You're totally shaming disability by standing up, it's fine!" she joked. Talk about a star who can laugh in the face of adversity!

Christina's been dealing with MS since 40, a stark contrast to her pal Jamie-Lynn Sigler's diagnosis at 20. The disease has been a game-changer, making her rethink her acting future. "This is a progressive disease. I don't know if I'm going to get worse," she shared with Vanity Fair. Stairs, carrying stuff – things we take for granted – are now hurdles in Christina's world. But she's not throwing in the towel!

Applegate adjusting to a new normal

Life's taken a turn for Christina, who now leans on friends and a caretaker for support, especially when it comes to her daughter Sadie. She craves a quiet, mellow environment – too much stimulation is a no-go for her nerves. And with her diagnosis hitting just before Dead to Me's final season, she's had to adapt to new challenges on set.

Reflecting on her illustrious career, Christina hints that her on-camera days might be behind her. But she's ending on a high note, praising her co-star Linda Cardellini as the "greatest actress" she's ever worked with. What a way to bow out, with love and respect for her craft and colleagues!
