Christina Applegate was admitted to the hospital over the weekend after suffering excruciating pain while on a European vacation.
The « Married… With Children » actress insisted that « things are messy, but I’m going to be OK, » while chatting on a live episode of her « MeSsy » podcast with co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler.
Applegate, 53, began feeling discomfort while overseas, and initially believed she was experiencing symptoms related to appendicitis.

« I went to Europe to see family, and I was not feeling good the whole time I was there, » she admitted on the episode. « I did everything I could to not throw up. »
The « Dead to Me » star hyped herself up to go to the hospital when she returned home, as she had experienced difficulties throughout her multiple sclerosis journey.
« I’m going to go, and I’m not leaving there until I have some f—— answers, » she recalled. « I want to know why this is happening, and I want it to stop. »

Applegate added, « The universe works in a really beautiful way. It listens to you — it really does. It also doesn’t give a s— if you say you want something, or you don’t want something. »
After arriving back in Los Angeles, Applegate went to the hospital and demanded « every test » to see what was wrong. By the following day, she started getting a pain that she had never felt before on the right side of her back.
« I’m like screaming, and they ordered me an emergency CT at 2 o’clock in the morning… and I had kidney infections, » Applegate said. « I’ve been here for a long time. »
Sigler noted how « it could have been so much worse, » and commended Applegate for instinctively knowing she had to seek medical attention.
« It is the worst pain I’ve ever felt, or so I thought, is my stomach when I’m vomitting. I call it ‘Fight Club’ because the entire abdomen spasms, and it is excruciating, » she said.

« I’m just gonna be here, » she said of her hospital stay before explaining, « Because of this kidney infection, I have to have intravenous antibiotics right now. And that’s where we’re at. »
Despite cracking a few jokes about the situation, Applegate admitted she was holding in tears.
« I sometimes fall into the nurse’s arms like a freako, just like crying, » she admitted.
During an episode released earlier this year, Applegate revealed she’s been hospitalized upwards of 30 times due to her MS symptoms.
« For three years, since I was diagnosed, I’ve been in the hospital upwards of 30 times from throwing up and diarrhea and pain, » she said. « That is unimaginable, OK? They’ve done every test known to man on me, put so much radiation into my body from CT scans to everything else. »

« One of the things with MS is that it slows down our organs, you know, not like completely, but there is a slowing of the function of your organs. I have noticed that — and I’m going to be really honest — if I have to poop, I puke. »
« My neuro doesn’t — God bless her — says that’s not an MS thing, » Applegate added. « So, I’m sorry, there’s got to be a correlation here, and I’m not a doctor. I’m not giving medical advice. I’m just saying, just think about that, OK? Because I’m in the middle of the same exact situation, and it f—— sucks, and it’s scary. »
Applegate revealed her diagnosis on X in 2021.
« Hi friends. A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS, » she wrote.
« It’s been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition, » Applegate continued. « It’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a–hole blocks it. »
