Science is revealing that most autoimmune conditions are caused by leaky gut syndrome. Finding out if you have this, and remedying it, may completely halt the onset of MS
I hope you can have a good day now and then. I am glad you feel less alone. We are rooting for you and your pain is our pain--or at least I hope we could somehow distribute your pain and issues to others now and then to give you some relief.
@@deezeliz You are smart and progressively thoughtful; keep doing what you are doing. (My mum liked to swim.) My mother was told she would not live more than a decade when she was dx'd in 1953 (at 19yo)...crying on camera and talking constantly about her symptoms and "struggle" --would never have crossed her mind as a path to wellness. This sort of health propaganda troubles me.
Did your symptoms start with tingling in your toes too? I've had a tingling in my toes at random times over the last few years (along with slight numbness that doesn't last long). But I'm also a hypochondriac so not sure if its in just my mind
@@Irishgui83usually it's ongoing and doesn't go away for a while. I had tingling in 2 fingers which in a month evolved to half my body. MRI said MS. It's difficult to get à diagnosis because all thèse diseases mimic each other
There's computer technology that helps eliminate animal and human testing and do more effective research to cure diseases. Dr. Shiva Ayadurai invented it. It's called Cytosolve. I don't know why the technology isnt being used. Look up Dr. Ayadurai's work on this.
My dad passed away from MS in 2000, he lived 23 years with the disease and fought it till the end. Bravest, strongest and kindest man I ever knew. Thank you ladies for keeping this disease in our minds and fighting it - sending my best wishes to you both and all who struggle with MS.
These women are infinitely more than their MS struggles. When someone goes through something like MS, it is helpful to not be alone, commiserate & support, listen & give bits of knowledge & helpful tips of what you find that helps, and I am so glad these two found each other. Not only are they helping each other, by doing the podcast, they are going to help so many more people. People going through MS, caregivers, family, friends and also those dealing with other stuff too can take what resonates with their circumstances and through these two strong, beautiful, smart, funny, talented women understand their lives more. Thank you both for sharing and thank you Robin for the interview! And So It Is! 💜💜💜

My brother was diagnosed with MS in 2000 and it was foreign disease to us. He battled it for 15 yrs. The last 1.5 years, he lost his ability to speak clearly, very much like a stroke victim. So devastating to see how our family dealt (or didn't) with the progression of his symptoms, to the point of isolation and not willing step up and provide care and support. When serious illness happens, others true colors show. So grateful my husband and I stepped up and took him in. I miss him so.
I have a difficult time with Christina Applegate crying on talk shows - particularly when I read a comment like yours. I'm so sorry for your loss; it's terrible what your brother went thru, but he was so very lucky to have you and your husband. Do not dwell on the "not dealing" ...it is normal...very normal. We spent a lifetime of struggling to deal with our mother and her MS... I think not coping is how we ultimately COPE. My mother was dx'd at 19. Proceeded to marry and have 3 kids. Lived to be 88. We squabbled over many things, but we agreed to keep her out of a nursing home ..and honestly, it's something I most proud of in my life.

God bless you! One of my younger sisters has MS and ultimately had a stroke and confined to a wheelchair. It is so terribly difficult at times being the caregiver.
You are a sweetheart and a good soul for taking him in. Thank you. My husband has Alzheimer's and your words struck home, hard--"so devastating to see how our family dealt (or didn't) with the progression of his symptoms, to the point of isolation and not willing to step up and provide care and support." That is my husband's narcissistic, awful daughters--all of them. I have to keep my rage at them as tamped down as possible. I've tried everything; they just refuse to give him the love and support he desperately needs--and deserves! He was a great dad! It's terribly disillusioning. Their true colors are definitely showing. Thank you again for not being like them!
My mom was dx'd with MS when I was in high school. Hers got really bad. She moved in with my aunt for a year, and when it became too much for my aunt to do alone, my mom moved into a care home that focused on rehabilitation. After a year there, her MS inexplicably went into remission, and it never came back again (she ended up dying at age 50 from a completely unrelated heart issue). I knew others with MS (friends that my mom made during her journey with the disease) and it seems to affect each person differently and to varying degrees (similar to Parkinson's, which my dad had). So take heart! So much is still unknown about MS, and there is always a chance it could go into remission and/or new therapies and meds will be developed.
Your mom had MS and your dad had Parkinson’s? Oh my goodness I can’t imagine. My father also had Parkinson’s for about 10 years. At least from the time he was diagnosed. He passed away in 2021 to 6 months after my mother did, and she died from congestive heart failure and COPD. Neither one took very good care of themselves. My dad got the Parkinson’s from agent orange during his time in Vietnam during the war. It sucks to see somebody you love slowly be taken from you. He made the comment a couple of times that he was existing not living.
So many being diagnosed with this. My husband's cousin was diagnosed three years ago and she's struggling. I'll have to tell her about this podcast. I'm glad they are talking about it. Olivia Munn just announced her diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Another actress/comedienne recently talked about her diagnosis of Graves disease. I'm sure people who don't like her will talk smack about Olivia just as non fans of Christina have done. You don't have to like them as actors, singers, etc., to respect the fact that high profile folks are willing to talk about their diagnoses and get the word out that if something is concerning you get it checked out. Regardless of their motives, the word is out. My dad has the same form of dementia as Bruce Willis but he didn't really know what it was until Willis's wife started talking about it.
I feel sorry for anyone suffering with a chronic illness whether it’s pain, depression, MS etc it just is brutal because it never goes away. Best of luck to both of these women they have entertained many people and given us the escape we all need from reality.

I don’t suffer from MS and can only imagine 😢 but I do have a condition that is not curable and relate to the daily struggle of getting through it. Her pain, disappointment, frustration, and even anger in the eyes is so real. Peace be with you 🙏🏻 💕
I also have MS and am so happy that these amazing, strong, well-known women are speaking the truth about MS. It is freaking HARD and it sucks every single day. If people based their knowledge of MS on what the drug companies advertise, they'd think we are all out there hiking and swimming with no issues. Life with MS is far from that.
Some people have MS and lead active lifestyles. I know people with MS who run marathons. Not everybody with MS is doomed to misery, especially not now with highly effective medications out there.
@@mecarr Right on. My mother was dx'd at Mass General in 1953 - she was 19. Graduated college. Married at 22; 3 kids; a career would have been difficult, but she did all kinds of volunteer work = CCD and scouts. Yes, her mobility was limited...but she was not of the yoga and smoothie generation. Lived to be 88. Never cried; never felt "ashamed." This type of interview bothers me...they are rich, ego-driven celebrities who have access to so much medical support.
I remember right there are 4 types of MS I personally know 4 people with this terrible disease. One I knew most of my life and worked for her in her home to help her because she was jazzy bound. She passed away this past year due to colon cancer from the ms. She fought a good fight she made it to her 70’s. The other lady is in her 70,s wheel chair bound the other two do pretty well on their medication but by all means it is not easy to deal with even if you don’t have as aggressive disease as someone else. I have my self two auto immune diseases. The first one is Hashimoto’s, which is very common. The other one is autoimmune and a form of vasculitis called EGPA and living each day is very hard for me as well now even with treatment because I am more advanced and the Vasculitis really affects my lungs. So it’s hard to breathe. The people in the comments be grateful for having a healthy body that’s all I can say.
@@stephmartin1148 My apologies, Steph. YOU deserve the help and attention, not these women. They will be fine. Plenty of $$$. I hope you have access to decent healthcare.
@@julieb7785 I feel the same for you sweet lady!! Just had a scan on my lungs 3 months earlier then planned from the last CT scan and my opacities from my disease are worse. On 4 steroid inhalers they are 2,000 and a biologic injection Fasenra. Starting back on Rituximab soon. It’s another biologic I think they use for MS and RA too. I did best when I was on that for two years. The EGPA disease came on in the fall of 2019 during my youngest. pregnancy. I am on the patient assistance program for the Rituximab and Fasenra biologics where my insurance doesn’t cover any biologics. VERY grateful to be alive and be here to raise my kiddos aging from 15-3. I do have a very helpful hubby. So grateful for that too. Grateful for my great specialist, so many I have to see. Autoimmune is SO rough I wish you the best, God bless you!! 💕
I have had MS since I was 23 and boy it’s a journey great to hear them bringing awareness to the disease. Also fantastic they have a support system in place 👏👏👏💕💕💕💕

I do the same thing. Just isolate. Once my MS progressed to where I couldn’t do normal things and go to normal everyday places, I really had to put a value on those kinds of things. I’m so thankful for things like DoorDash and Uber eats. The pandemic also aided those kinds of things for me and others with disabilities
Two powerful women bring to light such a horrific disease. I wish them both nothing but the best and happiness as they continue down the journey, not as having the disease but as two perfect and great friends. #prayers #respect

What a difficult thing to go through for Ms. Sigler. You never know what someone is going through. Just no words for Ms. Applegate who I have been a fan of for decades.
My heart goes out to both of you ladies. I suffer from an invisible illness that my neurologist says mimics MS and it is hell. I mourn everything about my younger, healthier self. And just like Christina mentioned, my skinnier self. You find out very quickly who your true friends are when you have an illness like this. Hang on to Jaime Lynn, Christina, and vice versa. I hope that tomorrow is better than today for you both. 💜🌸
My brother had it for easily 25 yrs. Thank goodness it didn't an affect on his terrific sense of humor and his compassionate heart and mind. He would take these unexpected falls and everything... and he kept trying to be his best. Corona was very hard on him though he never contracted it; he died in '22. I miss him so much and I'm so proud of him.
I don’t have MS but I have other neurological issues and it’s really great how they’re speaking out and being real and transparent in Hollywood- I can relate to having to deal with a new normal
I'm so glad they are taking the torch from Annette Funicello and bringing this horrible disease that took my mom's life at the age of 53. That happened 24 years ago when I was 16 and took care of my mom at 11 when she was diagnosed. Thank you Jamie and Christina, as well as Selma.

My mother died from complications from MS in 2014 after a long battle. It's a terrible disease. I'm so glad Christina & Jamie are educating people about it because not a lot of people know about it. I wish them the best 🧡

I was diagnosed with MS in 2011. I'm very grateful that I have minimal symptoms. Slight vision problems and the right side of my right leg is cold all the time.
I remember reading that years ago but at the time it was getting dismissed by the medical community. But there are doctors who swear this. I've lived up and down the east coast and now in California. It never made sense to me that if you looked at a map of the US it looks like lyme disease ends in the northeast. If it's from a deer tick and there are deer ticks all over the US, then why aren't more cases diagnosed in other states? Regardless, my heart breaks for anyone suffering with this cruel disease. And how much does Christina Applegate have to endure in this life? Breast cancer in her 30s and now this?
I was JUST gojng to say this. Lyme disease mimics other diseases such as MS, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and now there are connections to ALS and Alzheimer’s. With fibromyalgia lyme can also cause fibromyalgia. My sister was told she might have had MS.. nope.. it was Lyme Disease and she recovered .. to anyone reading this just keep lyme and other tick borne diseases can cause other diseases.
My heart just breaks for her with this. Shes so smart, her comic timing always so spot-on and enjoyable. Fantastic on her spots on Friends. This truly isnt fair. Glad to see she is getting some relief through a supportive friend, and all the love she got through that standing ovation. Love you Christina!! Sending strength to you both!
We need women like these who are not afraid to share their experiences. They are our sources and our support until women’s health becomes a priority in our health care system. Until we are no longer dismissed as stressed, anxious or hysterical and are actually taken seriously, we need to be able to advocate for ourselves and fight to get the health care that we need and deserve.
When it comes to celebrities with MS, I also think of Meredith Vieira, Teri Garr, Montel Williams, Jack Osborne, and the late Richard Pryor (1940-2005). I'm glad Ms. Applegate and Mrs. Sigler found the courage to bond together and speak out against such a dreadful unpredictable disease with no cure in place. When I saw this interview, it moved me to tears. My heart bleeds for the duo. Sisters for life! ❤

I’ve always just loved Christina. She’s such a likeable person. And what an actor. She played that role as Kelly brilliantly, and at such a young age. I really wish the best for both of these awesome women. I definitely will be subscribing to their podcast!
God I love her so much. It's so heartbroken and so amazing she finished the series I loved, even tho she had to be held up by counters and doorposts. What a woman.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Best Blessings Christina..... Grew up watching "Married with Children", ....My tears of laughters to all episodes I washed....The Best.....in all times..🎉🎉🎉 won't compare to any.....
These women are pure example of what resilience is both of them are still beautiful and are kicking ass for girl power. I wish him both nothing but the best. I’ve always been a Christina Applegate fan ever since the Bundys married with children. And I knew something was up when I saw the second season of her Netflix series dead to me. And when she finally opened up, and everybody found out the truth, it was heartbreaking to know if she was struggling through this but yet still putting great work out their way to go ladies your true inspiration.
This was so beautiful and inspiring. I love these two women dearly--I don't even know them, it doesn't matter. I love them. It hurts my heart to see Christina cry. In the last two years, my knees--perfectly functioning for over 50 years--have suddenly, drastically gone bad. The pain is terrible, the frustration immense, I can't take walks in nature as I've loved to do my whole life--this doesn't feel like my body anymore. The grief is profound. I understand what Christina was saying all too well. I get it. All the prayers and love and healing for Jamie Lynn and Christina, always.
I totally understand that feeling. I have had limiting vision issues that caused me a great deal of anxiety and stress from commuting to work to airport travel. I hid my issue for years because I thought I would pay a price . My life now is completely transparent about all my weaknesses so people understand and know all of me.
I don't have MS, but I have a relative of it and the daily struggle can be very real. Even with treatment...to go from a physically capable, fully functioning adult to something different is life altering. I love that these two are bringing the struggle to the forefront. More (much more) research needs to be done on these auto-immune diseases.
I have MS. I was diagnosed with it after the birth of my second child. I had a new baby and a 1 year at the time. Everything you both are saying is so true. Your entire life stops. You don’t or can’t go anywhere. You lose your independence. Thank Christina for being so real about this horrible disease.
My best friend of 24 years passed away in 2010 from this horrid disease. I pray for you and all MS patients that something will be found to stop this disease.
its hard the weight when dealing with illness and medications. you are trying to deal with so much and your appearance changing as well while trying to stay confident and not worry about it because improving your illness is more important.

Was diagnosed 9 years ago with a slow progressive MS which hasn't been totally debilitating, but screws with my walking balance. On my own, I'm lucky to know a super-skilled handyman! I did become a kinder person, always considering that I can't know what someone else's life story is - so don't rush to judgement.
Christina if you read this you're freaking awesome & gorgeous don't let this disease beat you! You made it in Hollywood & that's no easy feat....girl you're strong. You have been one of my favorite actresses since I was like 7 & watching Married with children. My aunt passed away at 46 from MS......I'm currently struggling with MS symptoms & waiting on an official diagnosis. My aunt told me when I was younger that I had the same symptoms she had & I needed to keep on my doctor to get the diagnosis. Her daughter also was diagnosed with MS afew years ago. I am now 39 & suffer attacks weekly. I'm actually going to the doctor today for some testing so hopefully I can get treatment to help with the misery. God bless anyone suffering with MS.
Can someone answer this: I know several people who have lived with MS for years, but not even remotely experienced the degree of negative life impact and symptoms as Applegate. There must be different levels? different varieties? or does it affect each person very differently? (i'm genuinely curious)
Yes. Some people with MS have little or no symptoms, while others have debilitating symptoms. Getting a diagnosis soon after initial symptoms appear and then starting treatment quickly thereafter helps considerably as the treatment can effectively stop new lesions\disability. The more time that passes without treatment means the more the MS can spread and affect other nerve functions.
I was diagnosed at 52 years old and a male. My left leg feels asleep, I have ADD, which I never had before M.S., and have short-term memory loss, I can remember a baseball game from little league, but I cannot remember where I parked my car. Other than that, I am fine. I am on Retuximab once a year IV therapy that takes like 3 hours. Sigler does Kesimpta commercials, which is another monoclonal antibody treatment. I guess everybody is different.
You can’t tell just by looking at someone. If you listen to the podcast, you’ll hear of Jaime’s horrible symptoms. I have had MS for 25 years and get frustrated when ppl say “but you look SO GOOD!” As if I was making the whole thing up.
Shortly after Christina was diagnosed with MS, i was hospitalized and then diagnosed with it myself.
The things she posted and said helped me get through that time, and honestly, i felt less alone because of her. So if you ever see this, thank you Christina 🧡
My mother lived a long life with MS (88)...get a good sleep at night and pay careful attention to your diet--and your sense of humor. You'll be ok.

The other one is autoimmune and a form of vasculitis called EGPA and living each day is very hard for me as well now even with treatment because I am more advanced and the Vasculitis really affects my lungs. So it’s hard to breathe. The people in the comments be grateful for having a healthy body that’s all I can say.
@@stephmartin1148 My apologies, Steph. YOU deserve the help and attention, not these women. They will be fine. Plenty of $$$. I hope you have access to decent healthcare.

I feel the same for you sweet lady!! Just had a scan on my lungs 3 months earlier then planned from the last CT scan and my opacities from my disease are worse. On 4 steroid inhalers they are 2,000 and a biologic injection Fasenra. Starting back on Rituximab soon. It’s another biologic I think they use for MS and RA too. I did best when I was on that for two years. The EGPA disease came on in the fall of 2019 during my youngest. pregnancy. I am on the patient assistance program for the Rituximab and Fasenra biologics where my insurance doesn’t cover any biologics. VERY grateful to be alive and be here to raise my kiddos aging from 15-3. I do have a very helpful hubby. So grateful for that too. Grateful for my great specialist, so many I have to see. Autoimmune is SO rough I wish you the best, God bless you!! 💕
Christina has such a big place in my heart. She was my childhood and still is ♥️
Yea me too.
Brave Woman who will help many others with their friendship and podcast, love them both and I’m glad they have support from each other..❤
I have had MS since I was 23 and boy it’s a journey great to hear them bringing awareness to the disease. Also fantastic they have a support system in place 👏👏👏💕💕💕💕
My life long Bestie died at 43Yrs of MS. She was The YOUNGEST person in a nursing. The visual was HEARTBREAKING
Sorry for your loss. There's computer technology that helps eliminate animal and human testing and do more effective research to cure diseases. Dr. Shiva Ayadurai invented it. It's called Cytosolve. I don't know why the technology isnt being used. Look up Dr. Ayadurai's work on this.
I do the same thing. Just isolate. Once my MS progressed to where I couldn’t do normal things and go to normal everyday places, I really had to put a value on those kinds of things. I’m so thankful for things like DoorDash and Uber eats. The pandemic also aided those kinds of things for me and others with disabilities
Two powerful women bring to light such a horrific disease. I wish them both nothing but the best and happiness as they continue down the journey, not as having the disease but as two perfect and great friends. #prayers #respect
I’m so glad you have each other. Thank you both for having the courage to share your journey. It will help so many others struggling. 🙏

What an absolute gem and a legend!!
She sure is.
What a difficult thing to go through for Ms. Sigler. You never know what someone is going through. Just no words for Ms. Applegate who I have been a fan of for decades.
My heart goes out to both of you ladies. I suffer from an invisible illness that my neurologist says mimics MS and it is hell. I mourn everything about my younger, healthier self. And just like Christina mentioned, my skinnier self. You find out very quickly who your true friends are when you have an illness like this. Hang on to Jaime Lynn, Christina, and vice versa. I hope that tomorrow is better than today for you both. 💜🌸
@tinak.3022
What is the invisible illness that you have that mimic MS?
Thanks for sharing ♥
My brother had it for easily 25 yrs. Thank goodness it didn't an affect on his terrific sense of humor and his compassionate heart and mind. He would take these unexpected falls and everything... and he kept trying to be his best. Corona was very hard on him though he never contracted it; he died in '22. I miss him so much and I'm so proud of him.
I'm sorry about your brother...
Thank you for this. I have long had symptoms that smack of MS. No official diagnosis though. I appreciate the strength of these women!
I don’t have MS but I have other neurological issues and it’s really great how they’re speaking out and being real and transparent in Hollywood- I can relate to having to deal with a new normal
THANKS Ladies 🙏🏻Lost my Brother to MS
This touches my heart.
You ladies are so strong.
I wish you the best.
A devastating illness. My heart goes out to her and all others dealing with this. My son-in-law lost his mother to it.
I'm so glad they are taking the torch from Annette Funicello and bringing this horrible disease that took my mom's life at the age of 53. That happened 24 years ago when I was 16 and took care of my mom at 11 when she was diagnosed. Thank you Jamie and Christina, as well as Selma.
Sorry for your loss and childhood trauma😢😢😢😢
I love that they don't let go of each other the entire interview. ♥️
Christina Applegate so good - so damn funny. Jamie with more subtle acting. Both are GREAT!! Now they can help other women with this!! Love you both.
I have so much compassion for them. I don’t have Ms, but i have been living with Lyme disease since 2006.

I’m so glad they found each other ❤
My mother died from complications from MS in 2014 after a long battle. It's a terrible disease. I'm so glad Christina & Jamie are educating people about it because not a lot of people know about it. I wish them the best 🧡
Life can be rough... Bless you!

I was diagnosed with MS in 2011. I'm very grateful that I have minimal symptoms. Slight vision problems and the right side of my right leg is cold all the time.
Great interview. Thank you for Sharing
Often times Lyme is the root cause of MS and can be recoverable. Tons of ND’s/functional dr have seen this time n time again.
I remember reading that years ago but at the time it was getting dismissed by the medical community. But there are doctors who swear this. I've lived up and down the east coast and now in California. It never made sense to me that if you looked at a map of the US it looks like lyme disease ends in the northeast. If it's from a deer tick and there are deer ticks all over the US, then why aren't more cases diagnosed in other states?
Regardless, my heart breaks for anyone suffering with this cruel disease. And how much does Christina Applegate have to endure in this life? Breast cancer in her 30s and now this?
I was JUST gojng to say this. Lyme disease mimics other diseases such as MS, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and now there are connections to ALS and Alzheimer’s. With fibromyalgia lyme can also cause fibromyalgia. My sister was told she might have had MS.. nope.. it was Lyme Disease and she recovered .. to anyone reading this just keep lyme and other tick borne diseases can cause other diseases.
No relation. Lyme is bacteria; MS is a virus with an underlying genetic predisposition.
God bless these ladies.
I developed Parkinsons at age 49.
I ABSOLUTELY FEEL FOR THEM!
My heart just breaks for her with this. Shes so smart, her comic timing always so spot-on and enjoyable. Fantastic on her spots on Friends.
This truly isnt fair. Glad to see she is getting some relief through a supportive friend, and all the love she got through that standing ovation.
Love you Christina!! Sending strength to you both!
I adore Christina!!
God bless them both
She’s amazing, she truly is! I’ve loved watching her on screen for decades and I wish her all the best!! ❤
We need women like these who are not afraid to share their experiences. They are our sources and our support until women’s health becomes a priority in our health care system. Until we are no longer dismissed as stressed, anxious or hysterical and are actually taken seriously, we need to be able to advocate for ourselves and fight to get the health care that we need and deserve.
Always enjoyed her character portrayals. Wishing her the best.
Just subscribed to their podcast. Thank you to two wonderful people willing to share their story in an engaging way.
Two beautiful strong women coming together and supporting one another and being advocates for those suffering from MS❤️
Love them and their friendship. 🤍
God Bless both of them!!!
Two brave women! Can’t wait to see the podcast! 🙏 💕
When it comes to celebrities with MS, I also think of Meredith Vieira, Teri Garr, Montel Williams, Jack Osborne, and the late Richard Pryor (1940-2005). I'm glad Ms. Applegate and Mrs. Sigler found the courage to bond together and speak out against such a dreadful unpredictable disease with no cure in place. When I saw this interview, it moved me to tears. My heart bleeds for the duo. Sisters for life! ❤
Selma Blair
@@4850m-ve4qj Fortunately for Ms. Blair, she went into remission though. So hers wasn't progressive.

Selma has permanent damage and it's Meredith Vieras husband who has MS
Montell Williams got me my ms medication for free when I had no insurance.
I’ve always just loved Christina. She’s such a likeable person. And what an actor. She played that role as Kelly brilliantly, and at such a young age. I really wish the best for both of these awesome women. I definitely will be subscribing to their podcast!
I love her!!!!!! Don’t tell mom babysitters dead is one of the best movies of all time!
What a person. So very awesome!
She is LOVELY!!!! So happy for you....rooting for you❤
I have gotta tune into the podcast!
God I love her so much. It's so heartbroken and so amazing she finished the series I loved, even tho she had to be held up by counters and doorposts. What a woman.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Best Blessings Christina..... Grew up watching "Married with Children", ....My tears of laughters to all episodes I washed....The Best.....in all times..🎉🎉🎉 won't compare to any.....
I LOVE these women. Thank you for giving them a platform to share their experience.
I'm proud of you both for doing this. Life is a hard place. God speed.
Wow, two amazing Souls teaching us to hold onto our humanity. Love ❤️ U Christina, you made so much joy emerge in the world.
God Bless you both 🙏 ❤️
These women are pure example of what resilience is both of them are still beautiful and are kicking ass for girl power. I wish him both nothing but the best. I’ve always been a Christina Applegate fan ever since the Bundys married with children. And I knew something was up when I saw the second season of her Netflix series dead to me. And when she finally opened up, and everybody found out the truth, it was heartbreaking to know if she was struggling through this but yet still putting great work out their way to go ladies your true inspiration.
Christina is a great comedy actress. Her appearance in Friends is one of my favourites. I’m super sorry that both of them are going through this ❤
This was so beautiful and inspiring. I love these two women dearly--I don't even know them, it doesn't matter. I love them. It hurts my heart to see Christina cry. In the last two years, my knees--perfectly functioning for over 50 years--have suddenly, drastically gone bad. The pain is terrible, the frustration immense, I can't take walks in nature as I've loved to do my whole life--this doesn't feel like my body anymore. The grief is profound. I understand what Christina was saying all too well. I get it. All the prayers and love and healing for Jamie Lynn and Christina, always.
Love these two..wishing them both the best..def will tune in to the podcast.
I love Christina , since the 80s ❤❤❤❤
May the Gods bless her.
Awesome and brave of em to share these rough experiences
That's literally what I was gonna name my podcast! You go girls!! Thank you for the awareness❤
So crazy to see two outstanding Actresses having to fight this terrible disease. God Bless these women.❤
Selma Blair, too. Probably others we don't know about yet.
Love Christina ❤
I totally understand that feeling. I have had limiting vision issues that caused me a great deal of anxiety and stress from commuting to work to airport travel. I hid my issue for years because I thought I would pay a price . My life now is completely transparent about all my weaknesses so people understand and know all of me.
I love this. These two beautiful, brave ladies deserve every beautiful thing ❤
I don't have MS, but I have a relative of it and the daily struggle can be very real. Even with treatment...to go from a physically capable, fully functioning adult to something different is life altering. I love that these two are bringing the struggle to the forefront. More (much more) research needs to be done on these auto-immune diseases.
this podcast sounds amazing.
Class acts. Both of them. ❤
❤God bless girls. You will be helping alot of people
Christina Applegate is a great Actress ❤ Keep moving forward beautiful Lady 🙏
Wish Her All The Best 🙏
What a gift that they are doing a podcast together!!!
Wow😮it’s really impressive, how those two amazing women teamed up! I love it❤
Love her so much. Glad she has support of her friend. Great interview Robin
I have MS. I was diagnosed with it after the birth of my second child. I had a new baby and a 1 year at the time. Everything you both are saying is so true. Your entire life stops. You don’t or can’t go anywhere. You lose your independence. Thank Christina for being so real about this horrible disease.
PLEASE OPEN PODCAST UP TO RUclips :)
Bravo ladys!!!
These amazing women are bringing much needed awareness to an often invisible condition!
My best friend of 24 years passed away in 2010 from this horrid disease. I pray for you and all MS patients that something will be found to stop this disease.
its hard the weight when dealing with illness and medications. you are trying to deal with so much and your appearance changing as well while trying to stay confident and not worry about it because improving your illness is more important.
Is prednisone a factor as well?
IN OUR PRAYERS ❤
What brave exceptional women…may they keep soaring 💫✨✨✨✨

Was diagnosed 9 years ago with a slow progressive MS which hasn't been totally debilitating, but screws with my walking balance. On my own, I'm lucky to know a super-skilled handyman! I did become a kinder person, always considering that I can't know what someone else's life story is - so don't rush to judgement.
Where can we watch or listen to their podcast???💗
Christina if you read this you're freaking awesome & gorgeous don't let this disease beat you! You made it in Hollywood & that's no easy feat....girl you're strong. You have been one of my favorite actresses since I was like 7 & watching Married with children. My aunt passed away at 46 from MS......I'm currently struggling with MS symptoms & waiting on an official diagnosis. My aunt told me when I was younger that I had the same symptoms she had & I needed to keep on my doctor to get the diagnosis. Her daughter also was diagnosed with MS afew years ago. I am now 39 & suffer attacks weekly. I'm actually going to the doctor today for some testing so hopefully I can get treatment to help with the misery. God bless anyone suffering with MS.
Im heartbroken for you Christina. Prayers for you. X
Can someone answer this: I know several people who have lived with MS for years, but not even remotely experienced the degree of negative life impact and symptoms as Applegate. There must be different levels? different varieties? or does it affect each person very differently? (i'm genuinely curious)
My mom too, although she also got a brain stroke which left her unscathed as well.
Yes. Some people with MS have little or no symptoms, while others have debilitating symptoms. Getting a diagnosis soon after initial symptoms appear and then starting treatment quickly thereafter helps considerably as the treatment can effectively stop new lesions\disability. The more time that passes without treatment means the more the MS can spread and affect other nerve functions.
I was diagnosed at 52 years old and a male. My left leg feels asleep, I have ADD, which I never had before M.S., and have short-term memory loss, I can remember a baseball game from little league, but I cannot remember where I parked my car. Other than that, I am fine. I am on Retuximab once a year IV therapy that takes like 3 hours. Sigler does Kesimpta commercials, which is another monoclonal antibody treatment. I guess everybody is different.
You can’t tell just by looking at someone. If you listen to the podcast, you’ll hear of Jaime’s horrible symptoms. I have had MS for 25 years and get frustrated when ppl say “but you look SO GOOD!” As if I was making the whole thing up.
Absolutely love her 💞
