Christina Applegate lost 50 pounds while battling MS

Before appearing on Clarkson’s show, Applegate granted an interview The New York Times.

In it, she revealed that she had to use a cane to walk and that she gained 40 pounds during her early battle with MS.

“This is the first time anyone has seen me for who I am,” she said. ‘I will never accept this. I’m angry.’

Applegate’s MS continues to progress and she recently revealed that it has left her confined to her bed.

In an interview with People Last month, she noted that she wants to take her daughter to school because it is her “favorite activity.”

“It’s the only time we’re alone together. I tell myself, ‘Just get her there safely and go home so you can go back to bed.’ And that’s what I do,” she said sadly. “My life doesn’t end with a bow. People’s lives, sorry for the lack of a better term, suck sometimes. So I’m as honest and raw as I can be.”
