Christina Applegate's MS Misdiagnosis Sparks Expert Debate
Actress Christina Applegate said on her podcast that doctors had determined she was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis, prompting experts to discuss how often such errors occur and why the disease is difficult to confirm. She had earlier announced on the same podcast that a recent medical evaluation concluded she does not have multiple sclerosis. Medical specialists have noted that 15-20 % of patients initially diagnosed with the disease are later found to have another condition, and doctors explain that the lack of a definitive test and vague early symptoms contribute to frequent misdiagnoses.
