Christina Applegate returned to the “MeSsy” podcast one week after revealing she was misdiagnosed with MS to tell listeners that she will never stop advocating and fighting for those impacted by the disease, even if she does not have it herself. The Emmy winner said people in the MS community are still “my people.”
