During that summer\u2019s filming, Applegate had to use a wheelchair to reach the set. She admitted to enduring \u201cexcruciating pain\u201d but pushed through, feeling a duty to finish the show\u2019s final season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Christina Applegate Says &#039;Dead to Me&#039; Helped Her Cope With MS Diagnosis: &#039;It Was Cathartic&#039;\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4XrkRUoPR6c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Applegate shared how acting helped her cope with grief and trauma, calling her work on <em>Dead to Me<\/em> \u201ccathartic.\u201d Her strength and perseverance in the face of such adversity is truly inspiring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> also read&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christina Applegate, best known for her roles in Married\u2026 with Children and Dead to Me, revealed in 2021 that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS),&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":46592,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46591"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46591"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46591\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46593,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46591\/revisions\/46593"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/46592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46591"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
