"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".
Earlier this year, the actress had opened up about how she spends most of her days in bed due to the pain she is in.
Last year, Applegate launched a new Instagram account, detailing her "real, raw, honest" journey.
Posting in October last year, Applegate explained why she decided to join social media, having hesitated for years. “If you told me a year ago that I’d be on Instagram, I would have said, F--k off!” she wrote. “But here I am, so I’m going to do it my way. Real, raw, honest". More on this story here.
Last week, it was reported that Applegate had been in hospital since March, with the exact reason unknown at that stage.
