This is what Kris Aquino shared in her recent post.
As of this writing, former actress-host Kris Aquino is suffering from seven autoimmune diseases, and here’s what it’s like having a lupus flare fever.
Queen of All Media Kris Aquino previously shared that she is “not yet fit to work” due to being underweight. Based on her post, she weighs 37 kilograms, and according to her, once she gains weight, her doctors will allow her to go back to working.
She also shared that she has been diagnosed with her seventh autoimmune disease, Fibromyalgia.
Autoimmune thyroiditis, chronic spontaneous urticaria, Churg-Strauss syndrome, systemic sclerosis, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis were the six autoimmune conditions Kris was suffering from before. People who have other disorders such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or lupus are more likely to develop fibromyalgia.
In a recent post, Aquino shared some snaps of her while suffering from a lupus flare. This is her current condition, and she wanted the people to see it so that they would continue praying for her recovery. She’s been in this condition for more than a couple of weeks now.
“This is MY NOW… i wanted you to see the pain and struggle so that you will continue to pray. i have a Lupus Flare fever now. It’s been more than 2 weeks,” she wrote in the caption.
In the comments section, several people, including her followers and famous personalities, expressed prayers for her healing.
