Christina Applegate and Daughter Sadie: Battling Health Issues Together
Christina Applegate’s daughter, Sadie, is battling her own health issues alongside her mom’s multiple sclerosis diagnosis. On the June 25 episode of the “MeSsy” podcast, 13-year-old Sadie revealed she has postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a condition affecting the autonomic nervous system and heart, causing dizziness, weakness, and fainting upon standing.
Sadie described her experiences, sharing that she has fainted and felt close to passing out, especially on hot days. She was diagnosed with POTS a few months ago but had been struggling with symptoms for a long time. During 6th grade, Sadie frequently visited the school nurse due to her symptoms, but the nurses dismissed her, attributing her complaints to anxiety or attempts to skip class.
Applegate, 52, expressed guilt over not recognizing the severity of Sadie’s condition earlier. She noted that Sadie often wore layers of clothes on hot days and disliked physical education. Applegate, who shares Sadie with her husband Martyn LeNoble, admitted she initially thought Sadie’s behavior was similar to her own childhood dislike for PE.
Sadie’s diagnosis has helped her empathize with her mom’s struggles with multiple sclerosis, a condition Applegate revealed she had in 2021. Sadie mentioned that experiencing her own health issues made it easier to understand and relate to her mom’s pain and symptoms.
Applegate expressed her sadness over Sadie’s condition but also conveyed her love and support. Despite trying medication, Sadie feels it hasn’t been effective. Applegate and Sadie frequently argue about taking the medication to school due to Sadie’s fears of it being confiscated, although it has been cleared by the nurse’s office. Applegate remains hopeful and supportive, promising they will figure out a solution together.
