Emmy-winning U.S. actor Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and described her condition as a "tough road."
"A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS. It's been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition. It's been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going," she said in a tweet on Tuesday....

A friend of mine and my husband’s was diagnosed with MS. . . . . And went to a specialist in another state who diagnosed her with Lyme disease after many tests.I once knew a woman who was diagnosed with MS. She spent years on medication that affected her health. Then she found out she was misdiagnosed - she'd never had MS.
Makes you wonder... How many people have been misdiagnosed with MS, and they never find out?

Not sure- there are Lyme disease specialists. The one who diagnosed her is in Illinois, I think.

Like her work. But. She’s an ACTRESS.
Yes, thank you. I'm sick of these damn commies always trying to change the very language itself to fit their commie agenda.

Wow! First Richard Pryor,then Teri Garr and now Kelly. In the early episodes of Married With Children she looked mighty fine indeed. If I had been about 15 years younger I would have sent her some fan mail.

Interesting - Lyme CT is about 15 miles due north of Plum Island - as the crow flies.
Thus the name “Lyme” disease.

I worked at a very famous hospital for many years and encountered several rather well known people during that time. If it had occurred to me to call the National Enquirer I just might have done so...if the money was right!
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Naming it “Plum Island disease” might have been too obvious.

Curious - what’s your point here?

“There is a lot of evidence that Lyme disease was created at the Plum Island research facility.”
Thank you for informing us all you are crazy.

God bless her. I will keep her in my prayers.
Years ago I came across a movie she did in 2001 with French actor Jean Reno, called "Just Visiting."
Just Visiting 2001
It's a time-travel comedy/fantasy, basically a remake of the French version that Jean Reno made in 1993: "Les visiteurs," and the sequel from 1998: "Les couloirs du temps: Les visiteurs II."

I hope we have all learned from COVID that Big Medicine suppresses and discredits easy cures.
There are probably treatments for MS that are better than the standard treatments.

That she’s a woman not a man.Still don't see your point, the original one or this one, either...
To: jerod
Wow! I really liked her new show on Netflix too. She’s a great actress.
To: jerod
I thought the same thing. What a tough medical road she’s been on.

Makes you wonder... How many people have been misdiagnosed with MS, and they never find out? You have me wondering the same. My mother was diagnosed with MS around 1980. Very sudden onset of neurological symptoms that eventually paralyzed her on one side of her body. Within a few months, she fully recovered and has had no symptoms since and takes no drugs. Seems pretty obviously a misdiagnosis.
Kinda reminds me of the show House, where they constantly threw the same differential diagnosis at their patients, sarcoidosis or lupus. Maybe it should have been MS.
