Christina Applegate is frightened to take showers since being diagnosedwith multiple sclerosis (MS).
The 51-year-old Dead To Me actress revealed she was diagnosed with the degenerative neurological condition last year while she was filming the final series of the hit Netflix show and she’s now opened up about how the disorder affects her everyday life - revealing just getting in the shower can be a daunting experience.
She told Vanity Fair magazine: “With the disease of MS, it’s never a good day. You just have little s****y days. People are like: ‘Well, why don’t you take more showers?’
”Well, because getting in the shower is frightening. You can fall, you can slip, your legs can buckle. Especially because I have a glass shower. It’s frightening to me to get in there.”
She went on to explain many everyday tasks have become difficult for her - including going up and down the stairs in her home.
