Christina Applegate says she uses dark humor to cope with her \u201cincredibly hard\u201d MS diagnosis. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy humor shield keeps me OK, but of course, down on the insides, you feel the things and I do it to kind of deflect and then also make people not be scared to be around me,\u201d Applegate said on Friday’s episode of \u201c The Kelly Clarkson Show.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cYou know, when people see me now as a disabled person, I want them to feel comfortable. That we can laugh about it.\u201d <\/p>\n
As an example, Applegate shared that she wrote a joke Christmas song about her MS called \u201cDisabey Baby,\u201d and sang the lyrics: \u201cHurry down the chimney tonight. I can’t. ‘Cause my wheelchair won’t fit down it.\u201d <\/p>\n
The \u201cDead To Me\u201d actress, 51, admitted that despite the challenges she was facing, she was determined to wrap up the Netflix show. <\/p>\n
