“I’m not out a lot, so this is, like, a little difficult, just for my system,” she said.

“People said, ‘Oh, you were so funny,’ and I’m like, I don’t even know what I said. I don’t know what I was doing.
“I got so freaked out that I didn’t even know what was happening anymore.”
She previously reflected on her four-decade-long Hollywood career after her Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis in 2021.
The 51-year-old actress recently shared with Variety that it was hard to watch herself on what she believes will be her final acting project, Dead To Me, which ran from 2019 to 2022.
She shared her doubts that she would ever find a cast and crew as accommodating as the Dead To Me crew was, even sharing that Mitch Cohn from the show’s sound department, who she had worked with since her Samantha Who? days, held her legs steady off-camera when her condition made it hard to stay standing by herself.
“We don’t know what my future as an actress is going to be,” she said.

“How can I handle it? How can I go onto a set and call the shots of what I need as far as my boundaries, physically? I don’t know who is going to be as loving and understanding as this group of people were.”
The Married… with Children star admitted it was hard even watching that final season back, because she “could see the excruciating pain I was in every day I was there and I didn’t want to relive it”.
According to her IMDB profile, she has an upcoming TV movie in pre-production.
