On Oct. 20, Applegate shared the shocking news on her podcast, “MeSsy,” that she was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system.

“This may come as great news, but to me, I’m back at square one,” she said. “It’s hard to

say that [my doctor] came into my room and she said, ‘Congratulations, you don’t have MS,'” she shared.

However, the actress is not suffering from the disease. But she's not happy about it. “You don’t get misdiagnosed and then all of the sudden I’m better. I haven’t gotten better … If anything, I’ve gotten worse in some ways,” she said. “So I’m back at square one, that I don’t know what’s going on with me.”
