Medical experts said misdiagnoses of multiple sclerosis remain common after actress Christina Applegate revealed on her podcast that recent testing disproved her earlier diagnosis. The revelation underscores the difficulty of confirming the disease without a definitive test.

Applegate first disclosed the misdiagnosis on her podcast, noting that doctors had concluded she does not have multiple sclerosis while she continues to experience related symptoms. Specialists have estimated that 15-20 % of patients initially diagnosed with the condition are later found to have a different illness, highlighting the need for thorough testing and second opinions.
