Christina Applegate has reassured fans she is “getting stronger and better every day” as she continues her difficult battle with multiple sclerosis.

The 54-year-old actress  recently sparked concern after reports emerged she had been admitted to hospital in Los Angeles last month.

While it’s still unclear if the visit was linked to her MS diagnosis, Married… With Children star has now broken her silence with a heartfelt message.

Taking to Instagram, she thanked fans for their “outpouring of love”, adding: “Health issues are a constant for me, but I’m a strong chick… I’m getting stronger and better every day.”

Despite her brave front, insiders say her journey has been anything but easy. 

One source claimed the star faces “treacherous” challenges, revealing she has “better days and really bad days – she doesn’t have great days”.

Christina, who shares daughter Sadie with husband Martyn LeNoble, has never shied away from opening up about her condition. 

Through her podcast MesSy, co-hosted with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, she has spoken candidly about the physical toll MS has taken on her daily life.

Earlier this year, she admitted she often spends long stretches in bed due to pain, but still pushes herself for her daughter. 

“Just get her there safely and get home,” she said, describing the strength it takes to carry on.

In a past podcast episode, Dead to Me actress also revealed a terrifying health scare that left her “screaming” in pain, later diagnosed as a kidney infection that had spread.

For now, the beloved star is focusing on her recovery and if her words are anything to go by, she’s not backing down from the fight anytime soon.
