Illness - Christina Applegate talks about intimate problems caused by MS

Actress Christina Applegate is very open about her Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis. In her podcast "MeSsy" with her friend Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who is also affected by MS, she recently discussed a provocative topic. Applegate referred to Sigler in the July 2nd episode as "the Simon to my Garfunkel" and used this for a quick topic shift. "Your bush looks just like mine right now," Applegate joked with reference to Art Garfunkel's iconic hairdo.

Christina Applegate: "People with MS can relate"

After a brief pause, both women laughed. Then Applegate explained the difficulties she faces with shaving her bikini zone due to her condition. "Shave yourself when your belly is as big as mine," she said. She has to lift herself up to reach the appropriate area. "You're one-legged, trying to stand and tipping over in the shower," Applegate said. "I know many people with MS can relate to that," the 52-year-old added.

For Sigler, this seems to be a common issue. "You have to sit on the floor," Sigler said. "You have to literally sit on the floor of your shower and twist yourself strangely."

Christina Applegate speaks openly about her illness. In a podcast episode in June, she said she can no longer enjoy life and doesn't have as much fun as before. She also shared about psychological problems brought about by her MS diagnosis. In 2021, she made her illness public only a few months after receiving the Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis.
