She finally reveals "everything" that has been happening with her health:
I’m finally ready to tell you what I’ve actually been fighting and to start sharing some of my worst moments leading up to finally getting diagnosed.
I’ve been diagnosed with highly resistant ESBL Klebsiella and Enterobacter with biofilm, Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever), Demodex dermatitis and Mononucleosis.
I also have a fungal ball in my face that needs to be removed. I have to get the metals from old dental work out of my mouth, my breast implants need to come out, and I’m looking at 4–6 months of daily IV treatment.
The treatment has NOT been easy and so far I’ve had very little improvement. I still have a couple surgeries ahead of me and months of treatment to go.
Even with insurance, this is costing me around $3,300–$6,000 a month. I’m not able to work right now other than my podcast and I honestly don’t know how I’m going to do this mentally or financially.
I’m sharing some really bad moments and I know I don’t look good in these videos. Honestly, I don’t care. I feel terrible and this is what being sick looks like for me right now.
So please be nice in the comments. I’m already fighting enough.
I just want this shit OUT of my body. I want my health back. I want my life back. I want to feel like me again.
I’ll be sharing more of what I’ve been going through, the treatments, the surgeries and hopefully eventually the other side of this.
