Applegate's MS Mystery: Is it implants?
11 Nov
Summary
- Applegate suspects leaking breast implants may mimic MS symptoms.
- She was misdiagnosed with MS and is now investigating her health.
- The actress shared her journey on the 'MeSsy' podcast with Jamie Lynn Sigler.
Christina Applegate is exploring a new medical theory following her misdiagnosis with multiple sclerosis (MS). The actress shared on her 'MeSsy' podcast that she suspects her breast implants, replaced over a decade ago, might be leaking and causing symptoms similar to MS. She noted a study suggesting this potential connection.
Applegate expressed confusion and distress after discovering in October 2026 that she does not have MS, a condition she had been living with and documenting since 2021. She explained that this diagnosis had given her a reason for her daily struggles and that its removal has left her feeling unsettled.
Despite no longer having MS, Applegate's physical challenges persist, including ongoing mobility issues requiring wheelchair use. She is now initiating a thorough health investigation with her doctors to determine the cause of her symptoms since 2021 and understand why her condition has seemingly worsened.
