Christina Applegate struggles to shower on her own because of her MS<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old actress was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis – a degenerative neurological condition that can cause problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance – in 2021 and revealed on Monday’s (02.04.24) episode of her ‘MeSsy’ podcast that she has been using wet wipes for almost a month now because she cannot stand up in her bathroom. <\/p>\n

She told co-host Jamie Lynn Sigler: “I\u2019m gonna be honest with you, I need to buy stock in Cottonelle because I haven\u2019t taken a shower in three weeks. I can’t stand in my shower There’s no f****** way! \u201cI have such a small bench and my a** is so huge these days that I can\u2019t sit on it, it\u2019s like I slip right off of it. \u2026 So, I\u2019ve been Cottonelle-ing my body.”<\/p>\n

The former ‘Married… with Children’ star – who has 12-year-old daughter Sadie with husband Martyn LeNoble – joked that she is pleased to be alone so much and added that even her little girl always tells her that she smells “bad”.<\/p>\n

She said: “Thank God I\u2019m always alone so that no one smells me. [Sadie\u2019s] always like, \u2018Oh Mama, that\u2019s bad.\u2019 I make her smell my armpits, just to make her vomit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nTowards the end of March, Christina admitted that she uses her “sick sense of humour” to get through her health woes.<\/p>\n

\nAppearing on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ with a cane to help her walk, she quipped: “I was thinking wouldn’t it be funny if I came out and I did a somersault like Willy Wonka?<\/p>\n

\n“And then I was like ta-da, you’d be… ‘She is such a liar.’ I’m not. I literally am disabled.”<\/p>\n

\nJimmy replied: “I learned from our text exchanges you have a very sick sense of humour.”<\/p>\n

\nAnd the ‘Dead To Me’ star admitted: “It’s how I live. It’s how I keep myself okay.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
