Christina Applegate, a primetime Emmy winner, confirmed she has multiple sclerosis in a late Monday evening Twitter message.

Applegate’s agent has been contacted by Variety.

“Hi friends. A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS. It’s been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition. It’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a**hole blocks it,” the “Dead to Me” actor posted.

“As one of my friends that has MS said “ we wake up and take the indicated action”. And that’s what I do. So now I ask for privacy. As I go through this thing. Thank you xo,” Applegate added.
