The former adult actress has been hospitalised with the condition…
In a bit of news that definitely isn’t the way we were wanting to end our Mondays, former adult film star Jenna Jameson has announced that she’s been diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder by the name of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, which has left her unable to walk.
The diagnosis came after the 47-year-old had been “throwing up for a couple weeks” and subsequently went to the hospital, upon initial scans she was cleared of any ailments. But once she returned home her condition deteriorated as according to her partner Lior Bitton, who explained that once she returned “She couldn’t carry herself. Her muscles in her legs were very weak. And then within two days it got really not so good, her legs started to not hold her, she wasn’t able to walk.”
To give you a bit of context, Guillain-Barré Syndrome is where a person’s immune system damages their nerves, which can cause muscle weakness and in some cases paralysis. Although most fully recover from the condition, others are left with permanent nerve damage.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote online “The doctors suspect Guillain-Barré syndrome and have started my IVIG treatment. I am in the hospital and will likely remain here until treatment is complete. I hope to be out of here soon.” Fingers crossed she makes a full recovery soon.
