Christina’s ongoing struggle with MS has been a public affair, marked by her transparent updates and advocacy. Her condition has deeply affected her daily activities and professional commitments, evidenced by her recounting of the exhausting effort required to attend the Emmys. Despite the fatigue, she finds solace and purpose in her podcast, “MeSsy,” where she discusses her experiences with MS alongside fellow actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who also faces similar health challenges.
The impact of Christina’s diagnosis was publicly acknowledged during her emotional Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony, where she humorously addressed her condition to the audience. Her journey began years before her official diagnosis, with early symptoms manifesting during the filming of “Dead to Me,” which she initially dismissed as fatigue or minor health issues. As her symptoms progressed, the need for mobility aids like a wheelchair and walking sticks became part of her “new normal.”
