Avril Lavigne Opens Up about Her Secret Health Crisis That Kept Her Bedridden for Months
Avril Lavigne Opens Up about Her Secret Health Crisis That Kept Her Bedridden for Months – Avril Lavigne is okay now, but last year was a tough time for the punk-rock singer when she started suffering from a startling disease that ultimately left her bedridden for months.
She celebrated her 30th birthday with a girls trip in Vegas last October, but she was feeling pretty sick and in a less than stellar mood to party. Lavigne told People , “I could barely eat, and when we went to the pool, I had to leave and go lie in bed.” She added, “My friends asked, ‘What’s wrong?’ “I felt like I couldn’t breathe,” she added.
Lavigne was diagnosed with a severe case of lyme disease. She believes she was bit by a tick sometime last spring. Many people experience flu-like symptoms and rash around the bite. If not diagnosed and treated early, the Lyme tick, spirochetes can spread, and weeks or even years later, cause problems with your brain and nervous system, muscles and joints, heart and circulation, digestion, reproductive system, and skin.
Lavigne says she’s about 80% better now, so here’s hoping the “Hello Kitty” singer is 100% soon. Also be on the lookout for some new music: her new single “Fly” will be released in April in support of the 2015 Special Olympics.
