Christina Applegate is showing signs of improvement amid her ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis, according to her close friend and MeSsy podcast co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler.

Speaking on Watch What Happens Live on May 5, Sigler shared a positive update following recent reports that Applegate had been hospitalised due to complications related to her condition. “She’s doing better, she’s getting stronger, she’s doing well,” Sigler said, offering reassurance to fans concerned about the actress’s health.

Applegate, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2021, has been candid about the physical and emotional toll of the disease. In recent months, she has spoken openly about frequent hospital visits, chronic pain, and extreme fatigue, which have at times left her bedridden. Despite these challenges, she has continued to connect with audiences through her podcast and public appearances.

The Dead to Me star previously addressed her health struggles on social media, thanking fans for their support and emphasising her determination to keep moving forward. “I’m a strong chick and I’m getting stronger and better every day,” she wrote in an April update.

Sigler, who also lives with MS and publicly shared her diagnosis in 2016, highlighted how their podcast has become a meaningful outlet. The platform allows both women to discuss their experiences with the condition while raising awareness and fostering a sense of community.

While Applegate’s journey with MS remains ongoing, the latest update suggests she is continuing to fight the illness with resilience as she focuses on her recovery.

Greta | 2 weeks ago | Reply Over the past two years I was searching for a way to support my mom after she was diagnosed with Parkinson s disease. It was a very challenging time for our family. She struggled with tremors stiffness fatigue and over time it began to affect her daily activities independence and overall confidence.While looking online for anything that might help I came across a post in a Google group where someone shared their experience with a herbal program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. They described how the program had helped them manage similar symptoms which gave us a sense of hope.At first we were unsure but we decided to give it a try for my mom. After a few months we began to notice some positive changes. Her tremors became less intense her movements felt a bit easier and her energy and mood improved. Seeing her regain some comfort and confidence again has meant a lot to our family.If you or someone you care about is dealing with Parkinson s disease it might be worth exploring their approach Website www. naturepathherbalclinic .com Email info@ naturepathherbalclinic .com
Lance Jill | 3 weeks ago | Reply For years many people doubted that I would recover from Parkinson s disease. Even when others lost hope I refused to give up. I followed my neurologist s recommendations and used medications such as Carbidopa Sinemet and Levodopa. While these treatments provided some temporary relief my condition eventually worsened especially by the fifth year. At that point I decided to explore an alternative approach and tried a herbal program from EarthCure Herbal Clinic w w w. earthcureherbalclinic . com . I used their treatment for four months and over that period I experienced a remarkable improvement in my symptoms. Today I am grateful for the progress I have made and for discovering another option that worked for me in curing and reversing my PD and all its symptoms completely. I share my experience for those who may be considering alternative paths alongside conventional treatment or without any conventional treatment.
