\tEmma Caulfield Ford, known for portraying Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em> series and Dotti on WandaVision<\/em>has revealed she has multiple sclerosis.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cOnce upon a time, I had zero health problems,\u201d Caulfield Ford told Vanity Fair. \u201cI woke up one morning and the left side of my face felt like there were a million ants crawling on it. That feeling when you’ve sat in a position too long? \u2026 The feeling’s gone and it’s coming back like a rush of blood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tCaulfield Ford recalls she went to her acupuncturist who suggested she might have Bell’s Palsy, which is characterized by half of the face dropping due to muscle weakness. She would get more tests done and after the results of an MRI, every doctor confirmed she had MS.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cIt was like an out-of-body experience,\u201d she said about her reaction following her MS diagnosis. \u201cI’m like, ‘No, that’s not possible.’ I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ [The doctor] was very matter of fact about it\u2026. It was literally a kind of nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tCaulfield Ford also revealed that her father had MS, but that wasn’t the cause of his death. The actor also said she had initially not revealed her diagnosis as she \u201cdid n’t want to give anyone the opportunity to not hire me.\u201d Caulfield Ford said she filmed WandaVision<\/em> while experiencing in silence the effects of MS. She added that she would be reprising her role on the Disney + series Agatha: Coven of Chaos<\/em>but this time, she has notified everyone \u201cthat needs to be notified.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
