Selma Blair I Drank To Mask My MS Symptoms

The Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg Show
Selma Blair recently revealed she would drink alcohol to help with her MS symptoms and nerve pain ... in an interview taped before her airport arrest.
That actress opened up about her alcohol use on the new episode of Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg's podcast, describing the way she would self-medicate.
Selma says that, even at "a very young age," she was using alcohol to soothe her headaches, anxiety, and nerve pain.
But she says that became a bit of a slippery slope -- acknowledging that she does not live a "sober sober lifestyle," and she knows drinking is something she "cannot do."
The vulnerable interview comes in the wake of the alarming airport arrest her team says was the result of a "medical emergency."
Selma was charged with two counts of assault after allegedly kicking a police officer and a nurse. She pled not guilty.

Jenny wrote on Instagram ... "DISCLAIMER: This interview was recorded before the recent events involving Selma Blair. Nothing but love for Selma and this conversation."
Selma seemed to have been much better on Friday, when she was all smiles at 90s Con in Connecticut.
