Make Page Six a Preferred Source Christina Applegate thinks her breast implants may be the cause of her debilitating health issues.
“I had my double mastectomy in 2008 and I am way overdue for having them replaced,” she said on Tuesday’s episode of her “MeSsy” podcast.
“And I swear over the last five years or whatever, I’ve thought, ‘What if they’re leaking and poisoning me?'” the actress added.
Applegate, 54, told co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler “there’s some study” out there about leaked breast implants symptoms “presenting” as multiple sclerosis, which she was misdiagnosed with six years ago.
“So, that’s one that I will be looking into, because it’s something I’ve thought about,” she shared.
Applegate had a double mastectomy after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2008.
Following the procedure, she underwent breast reconstruction surgery with saline expanders and subsequent saline implants.
In a 2009 interview with Women’s Health, Applegate admitted she missed her old boobs.
“It’s really hard because they just aren’t the same – and I had really good ones,” the mom of one said.

During her latest podcast episode, Applegate explained that she’s desperately trying to figure out the source of her health issues following her MS misdiagnosis.
“Getting my doctors to get all these tests done, that’s a lot,” she said. “It’s overwhelming. There’s so many different things that can be going on.”
The “Married…with Children” star revealed that her latest symptoms mostly include problems in her joints.
“I can’t move my right shoulder at all now,” she shared. “I can’t lift my arm. I’ve got all sorts of other things going on.”
Applegate also said it takes her a minimum of ten minutes to sit up and get out of bed “because I just hurt all over.”
Later in the episode, the “Dead to Me” actress said she’s “losing it” in therapy.
“[My therapist] is getting over me in the sense that I’m not doing the things she’s asking me to do, which is like helpful stuff for my psyche,” Applegate shared.
Applegate announced last month that she does not have MS, five years after going public with her diagnosis.
She told listeners on the Nov. 3 episode of her podcast that she’s “f–king frustrated” while “back at square one” after her misdiagnosis and “doing some testing, going one by one [with] the sister diseases to MS.”
Applegate explained that rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and Lyme’s disease can all “kind of mimic MS,” saying, “I’m being tested for those things slowly but surely,” she said.
The “Friends” actress has also made it clear that her health has “gotten worse” since her shocking health update.
