“Once upon a time, I had zero health problems,” Emma shared. “Back in 2010, I was working on [executive producer] Marti Noxon’s Gigantic, and prior to starting that job, I 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? … The feeling’s gone and it’s coming back like a rush of blood.”

She explained, “Then it just sort of went, I wouldn’t say completely numb, because I could still scratch it and feel my nails. But it was extremely dull. I went to my acupuncturist, and he was like, ‘I don’t know, man. Maybe you have Bell’s palsy?’”

On her acupuncturist insistence, Emma did go for an MRI.

“I had five minutes down or whatever. And he was like: ‘You have MS.’ Just like that,” she recalled. “It was like an out-of-body experience. I’m like, ‘No, that’s not possible.’ I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’”

Emma adds that the neurologist “was very matter-of-fact about it. ‘Well, you can get a second opinion…’ It was literally a kind of nightmare…. It turns out it was something major. Then I was like, ‘I’ve got to go to work now.’ What do I do?”

Now, Emma says she’s feeling “OK right now. Truthfully, my attitude is not crumbling under the fear of ‘what if’ or ‘what can,’ or ‘what has’ for other people. I just have to keep going.”

Emma is set to return in her WandaVision role, Sarah Procter, in the Agatha Harkness spinoff, Agatha.

Just recently, a few other celebs have revealed their own battles with MS.
