Christina Applegate has offered an update on her health on the heels of reports she was hospitalized in Los Angeles amid an ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis.
“Thank you for the outpouring of love and well wishes,” the actress shared on Instagram Monday. “Health issues are a constant for me, but I’m a strong chick and I’m getting stronger and better every day. I’m taking a moment to focus on my health, but I’ll be back with more to say soon enough.”
She shared the post with a picture of a coffee mug and the words “Kissy Kissy” written on it, placed on top of her new memoir You With the Sad Eyes, which was published last month.
The update comes after TMZ reported last Thursday, April 16, that the veteran star had been hospitalized since late March. The actress had not commented on the report and her only Instagram post in April was an update on her memoir becoming a New York Times audio bestseller. After the report got picked up widely, Applegate’s rep issued a statement declining comment on whether or not “she is in the hospital or what her medical treatments are.”
The rep added, “She’s had a long history of complicated medical conditions that she has been refreshingly open about, as evidenced in her memoir and on her podcast.”
More to come.
