Kris Aquino reflects on battle with autoimmune disease: ‘It’s okay to cry’

The Philippines’ Queen of All Media Kris Aquino got candid in her latest post as she reflected on her battle with her autoimmune diseases. In a Facebook post, she assured her fans on social media that she’s continuing to fight for her life as she plans to stay alive. 

Kris has been diagnosed with several autoimmune diseases which she has been open to the public about. She sought treatment in the US several years ago before deciding to come back home to the country. 

In her post, she revealed that they are renovating their house in the Cojuangco family compound and the furniture of the brand she’s currently endorsing has been moved to a guest house as the bathrooms will be made PWD-friendly for her.

“I have already had several accidents in the bathroom because I lost my balance so now it’s like we’re having a small party because at least 1 but more often 2 nurses and Bimb when the rheumatoid arthritis & vasculitis strike, the pain with each step is so harsh that even my formidable pain tolerance crumbles and the tears flow,” she recalled.

Kris then shared that it’s one of the things that she learned as she continues to battle it out with her autoimmune diseases. 

“That’s one of the lessons I learned throughout this 5 year prolonged war, it’s okay to cry, there’s nothing wrong with being human & vulnerable because that just means I am alive, I still have genuine feelings, and some of my most life threatening autoimmune illnesses will be in remission because I plan to stay alive,” she maintained. 

She didn’t disclose any additional developments about her health but assured everyone that she is continuing to fight–– with the help of everyone around her. 

“Buo ang tiwala ko sa team of doctors taking care of me, my children & my sisters together with my very small circle of trusted friends are unwavering in their belief that we have a loving God who listens to sincere, heartfelt prayers,” she ended.
