“Sopranos” star Jamie-Lynn Sigler has opened up about her two-decade long battle with multiple sclerosis and this week she made another health revelation.
The 43-year-old, who is married to former Harrisburg Senators player Cutter Dykstra, said that she nearly died last year during her most recent episode of the “MeSsy” podcast.
“A little less than a year ago now is when I went to India, and I lived at this ashram, and I felt so awakened and connected and peaceful,” she said. “Two weeks later, I had a very bad reaction to a surgery and got sepsis and was in the hospital and almost died.”
While she has been open in the past about her health, she said she kept that one to herself for a while.
“I never told anyone this,” she told her co-host, Christian Applegate, who is also battling multiple sclerosis. “I was this much away from death.”
Applegate said on the podcast that she does not enjoy living anymore as she fights her fight. Sigler encouraged her to keep battling.
“It’s so hard to live in a disabled body,” she said. “I won’t take that away from you and I’m right there with you. But what makes it harder is when you compare it to how it used to be.
“I can’t let you give up,” she added. “I can’t do it.”
