After taking a seven month break from her podcast, Christina Applegate returned this week with some brutal news: She was misdiagnosed with MS. If you’re thinking to yourself, isn’t that a good thing? Nope, not one bit. It means for the past five years she’s been receiving the wrong treatment, and there’s no answer for her health struggles since that time, including a hospitalization earlier this year. “I haven’t gotten better,” she told co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler. “If anything, I’ve gotten worse. So I’m back at square one where I don’t know what’s going on with me.” (PEOPLE)
