21 Oct
Summary
- Selma Blair's MS diagnosis brought relief after years of unexplained symptoms.
- Her recent flight incident led to assault charges, though her rep denies intent.
- Christina Applegate received a misdiagnosis for MS after years of symptoms.

Selma Blair recently shared her experience with multiple sclerosis on 'The Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg Show.' Blair, who received her MS diagnosis in 2018, described the immense relief it brought after years of debilitating, unexplained symptoms. She detailed how her condition worsened significantly after giving birth to her son, experiencing intense pain and mobility issues.
Her journey included a period of dystonia, severe spasms following a steroid injection for pain, which ultimately helped doctors realize her symptoms were neurological. Around the same time, her friend Christina Applegate was also experiencing unexplained symptoms and was advised by Blair to get an MRI, leading to an MS diagnosis for Applegate in 2021.
However, Applegate recently revealed that her MS diagnosis was a misdiagnosis. She expressed her frustration and confusion, stating she is back to square one in understanding her ongoing health issues. Blair continues her treatment for MS, emphasizing that each person's journey with the disease is unique and presents different challenges.
This interview was recorded prior to a recent incident where Blair was arraigned on assault charges following a medical emergency on a Delta flight. Her representative has clarified that she experienced a medical emergency and had no intention to harm anyone.
