Kris Aquino returned to social media recently to clarify her sister Ballsy’s information on her autoimmune condition.
In a forum organized by Banyuhay Aotearoa last Aug. 20, Ballsy related, “When she left, she had two autoimmune diseases. I think now there are four.”
But in her post Wednesday, Sept. 7, Kris related, “Naguluhan si Ate…”
“To clarify (when) we left the (Philippines) I was already diagnosed with 3 autoimmune conditions. It was while here in Houston that I was diagnosed with a 4th. Unfortunately all my physical manifestations are pointing to a possible 5th- opo, pinakyaw ko na!”
She admitted, “There have been times I wanted to give up-because of fatigue & being forever bedridden; the bruises all over my body that suddenly appear; my inability (since February) to tolerate solid food; headaches; bone deep pain in my spine, knees, joints in my fingers; and my constant flares esp. in my face that just keep getting worse…”
But Kris said she is trying to stay strong if only for her kids and for those praying for her quick recovery.
“Mahiya naman ako sa lahat ng mga patuloy na nagdarasal para gumanda ang kalusugan ko if I just give up,” she said.
She is to undergo more tests, going on to meet with other specialists.
Kris is also to start her immunosuppressant therapy.
“I was warned that the safest form of chemotherapy (I don’t have cancer) that can be used for my autoimmune conditions will make me lose my hair. Hair will eventually grow back but permanently damaged organs won’t- so dedma muna sa vanity.”
