Justin Bieber has been diagnosed with Lyme Disease.
The singer-songwriter took to Instagram to confirm the news. “While a lot of people kept saying Justin Bieber looks like s***, on meth etc. they failed to realise I’ve been recently diagnosed with Lyme disease, not only that but had a serious case of chronic mono which affected my, skin, brain function, energy, and overall health,” he wrote.
“These things will be explained further in a docu series I’m putting on YouTube shortly. You can learn all that I’ve been battling and OVERCOMING!! It’s been a rough couple years but getting the right treatment that will help treat this so far incurable disease and I will be back and better than ever NO CAP.”
Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by tick bites most often found in grassy or woodland areas. It usually appears as a circular red rash and symptoms can include exhaustion, headaches, muscle pain and heart palpitations. While antibiotics are used to treat the disease, it can take months for people to recover from the illness.
Justin’s model wife, Hailey Bieber, took to Twitter to support her husband after he was accused of drug use when he was papped looking downcast and covered in red blotches.
“For those who are trying to downplay the severity of Lyme disease. Please do your research and listen to the stories of people who have suffered with it for years. Making fun of and belittling a disease you don’t understand is never the way, all it takes is educating yourself,” she stated to her 1.4 million followers.
The news come shortly after Justin released his first solo single in more than four years, Yummy.
It is yet to be confirmed when Justin’s documentary will be released, but stay tuned for further updates. We cannot wait!
