Christina Applegate is a gifted actress, dancer, and comedienne, as her guest hosting on Saturday Night Live showed, and I have always felt sad for her over the last two decades. I hope her quality of life improves, and that she gets some voice work from Pixar, because she would be good at it.

As for poor Jenny McCarthy, pin up fantasy of 100s of GIs, maybe, just maybe, her tattoos might have something to do with her illnesses?

Our immune system is a separate organism and for most people that do not die by accident or gun play will die from one or more of their more cantankerous moods . . ..

We also have more than one immune system.

Just to keep it fun.

Maybe it's an important coded signal, just not meant for you.

That may have been a secret sign for some spy business. Someone is probably going to die now.

More evidence of the decline of the US.

Nice job of talking about boobs with minimal euphemism.

Unfortunately it’s too serious an issue.

Of all the complexes I have about my body (I KNOW), at least I am reasonably satisfied about the girls. Reading this, I am grateful.

And perhaps for five minutes, I'll stop my internal complaining about my thighs FFS...

People can develop unusual sensitivities to industrial chemicals or materials, and it may not be the material itself but trace amounts of chemical precursors from its manufacture. In a lab you can avoid such things. Awful if it’s implanted in your body.

It's tragic that there is a need to pump up your breasts. Doubly tragic when they attack you.

A relative of my mom's had severe allergies to mold and about a million other things and, yeah, had to live outside in a tent basically. He came to visit us once when I was a kid and brought a hypoallergenic sleeping bag and a pup tent and slept on our deck.

Norma Jean the Great (my mom) was diagnosed with MS when she was 55. We watched her go from her daily bike rides and tennis to being debilitated within two years. It was a horrible thing to watch. We watched as her vibrant, silly, fun self slip into a decline so rapid and cruel it's hard to put into words. She had also had breast reconstruction at least 15 years earlier from years of benign tumors being removed from both breasts. I now have many questions about her diagnosis.

I seem to remember that Christina's mom had some notoriety as a back up singer and I think I've heard her own music on MIT's radio station. I looked her up. Nancy Priddy sang on Leonard Cohen's debut album. Also dated Stephen Stills and was his inspiration for one of my favorite Buffalo Springfield songs, Pretty Girl Why.

As someone with MS I so get Christina Applegate's frustration. There is SO much unknown about MS as it is, half the time discussions with your doctor is a crap shoot in terms of treatments and prognosis. Will I eventually be wheelchair bound? Who the fuck knows! .If I was told today "Oopsie! you don't actually don't have MS! But in terms of wha you DO have... Fucked if we know. Good luck trying to walk since your right leg does work and your incontinence! Sucks to be you! " It maddening and depressing as it is.

When talking about Ms. McCarthy it is wise to remind people of the immense damage she did with her anti-vaccine activism.

As for me I am rooting for TEAM MOLD and I hope she never rectifies her cosmetic enhancements.

Maybe it's my age but I think Christina Applegate is a national treasure. Glad that she figured out what was making her sick and is getting her implants removed maybe repaced. I said she's a national treasure abs didn't even know she had been dealing with an autoimmune disease. She's funny and seems to be a cool lady.

Her story about being misdiagnosed with MS reminded me of my Mom - who had been diagnose with MS in the 60s, long before any of the ameliorating drugs came out. We always considered her lucky, because she rarely had any medical problems with it ( at least through the 70s and early 80s ). Christina talks about living with her mis-diagnosis for 6 years. If my Mom had been misdiagnosed, she lived with it for over 20 years.

However, she started having problems associated with the disease in the late 80s - while my father was alive, they managed to cope with those problems, but after he died she went downhill fast. As it is, I do not believe she had been misdiagnosed back in the 60s - but by the time those MS drugs came out, the damage to her nervous system had already been done.

It's been 22 years since she passed, but I'm still "sensitive" to any mention of MS.

She’s been really ill.

Her memoir, "You with the Sad Eyes" is an interesting read.
