CBS News reported that Christina Applegate addressed her misdiagnosis of MS on her podcast, MeSsY, which she shares with Jamie-Lynn Seigler. The outlet's video headline gives her message to the MS community as "I'm still your warrior."

CBS News described the podcast as one that focuses on the disease. The summary says the program addressed the misdiagnosis that Applegate discussed, but it does not explain what the misdiagnosis was, how it came to light, or what followed from it. Neither the headline nor the summary provides those details.

According to the same CBS News summary, Nischelle Turner has more on the story. The summary does not give a date for the podcast discussion and names no other participants beyond Applegate, Seigler, and Turner.

CBS News's headline and summary differ somewhat in emphasis. The headline frames the remarks as addressed to the MS community, while the summary describes the podcast as focused on the disease, and the summary does not say how the misdiagnosis was discussed on the program.

CBS News's headline and summary establish that Applegate addressed her MS misdiagnosis on her podcast and that the podcast focuses on the disease. They do not establish when the discussion took place or what the misdiagnosis involved. The material available for this report contains no further detail, and any fuller account would come from the CBS News video in which Turner reports on the matter.
