Christina Applegate has 30 lesions on her brain amid painful MS battle: ‘It sucks’

“Dead to Me” star revealed on the “Armchair Expert” podcast with co-hosts Dax Shepard and Monica Padman that she is in constant pain thanks to the autoimmune disorder. “I have 30 lesions on my brain,” Applegate claimed on Monday’s episode. “My biggest one is behind my right eye, so my right eye hurts a lot.”The “Married … With Children” alum also shared that sometimes “my hand starts to go weird and then I’ll get a seizure-y feeling sometimes in my brain.”“It sucks,” the mother of one added. “I hate it so much.

I’m so mad about it.” Applegate has been outspoken about her MS journey since she was diagnosed in 2021, revealing that she even spotted one symptom of the disease seven years prior.

However, Applegate now admits she wasn’t as transparent about her 2008 breast cancer diagnosis, telling Shepard and Padman that she was “lying my a– off” during that time. “Everything I was saying was a freaking lie,” she recalled on the podcast. “It was me trying to convince myself of something, and I think that did no service to anyone.”While Applegate said she is glad her story helped raised “millions of dollars” for breast cancer prevention, she admitted on Tuesday that she was really “crying every night” at home during her treatments.“I wish that I had said that,” Applegate, who underwent a double mastectomy after her cancer diagnosis, said. “I didn’t like my boobies.

I still don’t like my boobies. It’s horrible.”Earlier this month, the “Hall Pass” star doubled down on the fact that she has not used a weight loss drug like Ozempic to lose the weight she gained after her diagnosis.
