She continued: “It’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going.

“As one of my friends that has MS said, ‘We wake up and take the indicated action,’” she added. “And that’s what I do. So now I ask for privacy. As I go through this thing. Thank you.”

Multiple sclerosis is a lifelong condition that can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms including vision problems, difficulties with arm and leg movement, and balance issues, according to the NHS.

Applegate most recently starred in the new series of Netflix’ “Dead to Me” – for which she also serves as executive producer – about two grieving women who bond during therapy.
