“I don’t travel much, so that’s it [Interview] a little difficult, just for my system,” Applegate admits short teaser clip. The actress, who became known worldwide as Kelly Bundy in “A Terribly Nice Family,” can at least count on her own family and friends in her daily struggle: “The support I get is wonderful. I’m really grateful.”
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system and is one of the most common neurological diseases. Women are twice as likely to become ill as men. There is currently no cure for MS. However, the disease is not fatal and is not contagious. In the relapsing variant, patients can be symptom-free for a long time before the disease flares up once more.
Experts believe that multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s own defenses are directed once morest nerve fibers. Symptoms can include paralysis or loss of strength due to increased muscle tension. Also to disorders of movement coordination, eye tremors, tremors when making targeted movements and choppy speech. Inflammation of the optic nerve or depressive disorders can also occur.

No memory of the Emmys
In the interview, the 52-year-old also talks regarding her surprise appearance at the Emmys in January 2024, when she received a minute-long standing ovation. “We don’t have to applaud every time I do something,” she joked at the time.
She can hardly remember the moment herself. “I actually had a kind of blackout,” admits the actress. “People said, ‘Oh, you were so funny,’ and I said, ‘I don’t even know what I said. I don’t know what I did. I was so freaked out that I didn’t even know what was going on.” “But I felt really loved, and it was a beautiful thing,” she continues.
