Actress Christina Applegate has revealed that she has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

The Bad Moms and Dead To Me star shared the health update with her 1.4 million Twitter followers writing: "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****** blocks it."

"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.
