Christina Applegate has revealed that she is largely confined to bed due to multiple sclerosis, five years after her diagnosis. The 54-year-old actress shared in an interview with People magazine that the pain associated with movement makes it difficult to function daily. Despite this, she prioritizes taking her 15-year-old daughter to school. Applegate, known for her role in "Married With Children," is releasing a memoir, "You With the Sad Eyes," which details her life, including her mother's struggles with addiction. She also hosts a podcast, MeSsy, with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who also has MS, and is focused on voice acting. Applegate previously battled breast cancer, undergoing a double mastectomy in 2008.
