Christina Applegate details bout of Covid and Sapovirus amid MS battle
Christina Applegate has detailed her latest health battle amid her multiple sclerosis (MS).
Speaking on her MesSy podcast with co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler, the actress revealed her rough experience after contracting Covid for the first time, which then turned into long Covid, and to make matters worse, she then contracted Sapovirus from contaminated food.
Sapoviruses can cause acute gastroenteritis, and the actress candidly shared that she had been wearing diapers in recent weeks because of how often she has had to go to the bathroom.
"I finally got the Covies.. someone real close to me dropped the ball and came home with the stuff and it spread all over the house," she began.
"I had one day when I had a headache and chills and I thought I was making it through this."
"It turned into long covid and it turned into a chest infection and then my heart was doing weird stuff, where it just speeds up... so I was like mother f--ker!"
She then continued, saying that after contracting the virus she was "p---ing out of her a** for a few days".
"I was so dizzy. I was so sick. I couldn't eat... Someone else's poop went into my mouth and I ate it."
The actress recently revealed that she has 30 lesions on her brain from her MS, a condition where the body's own immune system mistakenly attacks and damages the fatty material around the nerves, which can cause a range of symptoms.
It is the most common acquired chronic neurological disease affecting young adults, according to MS Australia.
