Christina Applegate graphically details bout of both COVID and sapovirus, wearing diapers for MS side effects

Christina Applegate went into graphic detail about her recent battle with both COVID and sapovirus on top of MS: 'I woke up at 3 o'clock in the morning in a pool of s---.'

The Dead to Me star opened up about a series of (graphic) illness side effects she's been experiencing over the last month on an episode of her MeSsy podcast, cohosted with Jamie-Lynn Sigler. Applegate, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, commonly referred to as MS, in 2021, hoped the worst of it would be a headache and chills, but she ended up contracting long COVID, experiencing a chest infection and racing heart rate. The two have previously talked about wearing adult diapers in a joint interview with PEOPLE, explaining that the effects of MS make it difficult to control your bladder resulting in accidents.
