\u2014 christina applegate (@1capplegate) August 5, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Applegate has since revealed she\u2019s been treated for the infection and discharged from hospital to continue her recovery at home.<\/p>\n AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.<\/a><\/p>\n In a statement to People, she said: \u201cI\u2019m home and have been treated for the kidney infection. As far as my ongoing stomach thing, it\u2019s a work in progress. I was there seven days.\u201d<\/p>\n Applegate was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis<\/a> \u2013 a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the brain and central nervous system \u2013 in 2021 and last year she admitted she was really struggling<\/a> to come to terms with her illness.<\/p>\n She told the MeSsy podcast: \u201cIt\u2019s kind of scaring me too a little bit because it feels really fatalistic, it feels really \u2018end of\u2019. I don\u2019t mean that, but I\u2019m trapped in this darkness right now that I haven\u2019t felt in probably 20-something years. I don\u2019t enjoy living. I don\u2019t enjoy it. I don\u2019t enjoy things anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n She later added: \u201cI\u2019m good. Does that take a little bit of the pressure off of all of you? I\u2019m good. Let\u2019s address it. We are going to address it. It\u2019s a moment. It\u2019s a thought. It\u2019s a feeling. I was talking about some dark stuff I was thinking and feeling.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s important to be able to say these things. I dare anyone to be diagnosed with MS or any kind of chronic illness that has taken who you were prior to that moment and go, this is great. You know? No.<\/p>\n \u201cYou have moments of feeling like this is tiring and I don\u2019t wanna do this. But you do it, and by having friends like you and my beautiful friends that I have, by saying this out loud, it releases the pressure in the balloon, man.\u201d<\/p>\nChristina Applegate and daughter Sadie Grace LeNoble attend the 29th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2023.
