HOWELL, Mich. (AP) — Former "Little House on the Prairie" star Melissa Gilbert is dropping her run for Congress in Michigan.

Gilbert was the only Democrat challenging Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Bishop in the 8th District. But in a statement Tuesday, she says health problems are forcing her out of the race.

The 52-year-old Gilbert says she's following the advice of doctors. She says head and neck injuries from two accidents in 2012 "have only gotten worse."

The filing deadline for the race has expired. But the Michigan Democratic Party says county parties in the 8th District can put another candidate on the ballot

I don't agree with her politics, but I wish her well anyway.

She must be a survivor, having made it out of Hollywood alive after being a child star.
