The Dead To Me star shared a picture of her walking sticks to Twitter and noted that she’s preparing for her first public event since revealing she was diagnosed with MS in August 2021. “Stay tuned to see which ones make the cut for a week of stuff.” When one fan suggested Applegate use a cane with an activator pole – which were designed by occupational therapists to aid balance and improve mobility – she explained that she loves her activator cane, but wanted to switch things up for the event. My activator has stickers that say FUMS so wasn’t sure if that was appropriate haha,” Applegate responded, referring to the slogan “F**k U MS”. Unless some asshole blocks it.” “As one of my friends that has MS said, ‘We wake up and take the indicated action,’” Applegate added.
