She said, "I'm gonna be gross." The actress added, “I woke up at 3 o'clock in the morning in a pool of s**t. Didn't know it happened, and having MS at 3 o'clock in the morning and trying to change your sheets, it's not fun."

Christina claimed that her health problem started a few weeks ago when someone close to her “dropped the ball” and carried COVID-19 home, resulting in her first infection. Her immune system was already compromised by Multiple Sclerosis, thus her symptoms such as chest infection and speedy heart rate, were more severe.

The actress expressed that she was so dizzy and further said, “I was so sick. I couldn't eat. I couldn't anything." She began vomiting during the stool test, which she took to understand what was wrong. She reflected that it was, “so gross”. She eventually received a Sapovirus diagnosis.
