"There are things I want to do with the days I have left in life. I want to work with Shirley MacLaine. And do shots with Cher! And yes, my days are so big. Just saying," Applegate wrote on the social media platform.
The Bad Moms star was diagnosed with the brain and spinal cord disorder in 2021 and has been extremely candid about how it has derailed her life.

"Like a real, f--- it all depression where it's kind of scaring me to a little bit because it feels really fatalistic. I'm trapped in like this darkness right now that I haven't felt like... I don't even know how long, probably 20-something years," Applegate confessed.
"This is being really honest...I don't enjoy living. I don't enjoy it. I don't enjoy things anymore," The Married...With Children alum continued.

Applegate recently opened up about going through a relapse in her healing process and the toll it's taken on her self-care. "My legs have never been this bad, so I don't know what's going on, no energy, legs are just done, like, can't get circulation, I can't get them to stop hurting," she said. "I need to buy stock in Cottonelle because I haven't taken a shower in three weeks. I can't stand in my shower."
"I have such a small bench and my a-- is so huge these days that I can’t sit on it, it’s like I slip right off of it. … So, I’ve been Cottonelle-ing my body," the blonde beauty noted.

Luckily, through it all, Applegate has the Sopranos star, 43, to lean on. "It's so hard to live in a disabled body. It is so hard. I will not take that away from you and I am right there with you," Sigler told her pal during a recent episode. "But what makes it harder is when you compare it to how it used to be ... Once we get you to this place where we're accepting that this is how it's going to be, maybe forever ...[coping with MS] is not a reason enough for you to stop living because I sit here across from you and you still make me laugh like nobody else can. You still make me smile. You make me feel loved."
