Jenelle Evans Easonis putting her health first.
TheTeen Mom 2star, 30, posted a health update onher websiteafter announcing she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia last month. She revealed that she is now being tested for an additional disorder, myasthenia gravis.
“Lately, I’ve been taking time out for myself to focus on my health. As you might have heard, I was hospitalized not too long ago for extreme chest pain,” she wrote. “They ruled out heart and lung issues in the ER.”
“Since following up with my neurologist, their office has referred me to someone else who specializes in Myasthenia Gravis for a confirmed diagnosis,” she continued. “This new office will run more tests and one of them being another type of nerve study.”
The mother of three added that she is experiencing “anxiety about all of this everyday” and has been “mentally and physically drained.”
In an interview withE! Newslast month, Eason revealed that she wasdiagnosed with fibromyalgia— a condition which causes chronic pain — after undergoing tests.
“I now know why my body is acting the way it does and it explains a lot. I never knew what fibromyalgia was until my doctor diagnosed me,” she told the outlet.
“For as long as I can remember, I would get extremely bad tension headaches and full body aches, like I had the flu, but was not sick,” she added. “My entire body gets in so much pain and sometimes I lay in bed and cry. [For] a long time, no one believed my symptoms until I got a second opinion from a new neurologist recently.”
Eason revealed she has been open with her daughter Ensley, 5, and sons Jace, 12, and Kaiser, 7, about her health condition.
“I want my kids to know that some days are good and some days are bad with fibromyalgia,” Eason explained. “Please have patience with me on my bad days and I promise to make it up to you on my good days.”
“I have private talks with my kids about my health and let them know they don’t have to worry, some days won’t be good but I’ll get through it,” she added.
For now, she plans on altering her diet to help manage the condition.
“I am now researching foods to stay away from and foods that are beneficial for my condition,” she added per E! News.
