Kahit prutas 'di makakain, puro gatas na lang… KRIS, BUMAGSAK NA NAMAN ANG TIMBANG

ni Julie Bonifacio @Winner | January 22, 2024

Bumagsak muli ang health condition ni Kris Aquino batay sa latest post niya sa kanyang Instagram kahapon.

Sa kanyang mahabang posts ay inamin ni Kris na reluctant pa siya nu’ng una na muling magparamdam sa social media dahil sa pagbabang muli ng kanyang timbang.

Her last IG post was dated November 26 last year. 

Sa background music pa lang na ginamit ni Kris ay ramdam na how disappointed she is sa latest result ng kanyang health treatments. 

Sabi kasi sa kanta, “When you try your best and it did not succeed.”

At sa simula ng mensahe niya sa art card sa IG reels na ipinost niya ay humingi siya ng paumanhin sa “pagkawala” niya sa IG at ‘di niya pagbati sa kanyang mga followers noong Pasko at Bagong Taon.

Simula pa lang daw ng Thanksgiving sa Amerika noong November 26, three days after her last IG post, she felt weak na raw at nawala na ang kanyang appetite considering na puro gatas na lamang ang kanyang iniinom.

Ipinakita rin sa video ang kahun-kahon na may lamang iba’t ibang klase ng prutas na nakaimbak lang sa bahay ni Kris. Hindi nga kasi siya makakain ng solid food kahit prutas.

May pagka-Elsa sa animated movie na Frozen na may linyang "The cold never bothered me anyway" ang feeling ni Kris sa malamig na weather sa US.

Sabi niya, “In fact, waist down my skin would feel warm to the touch, sometimes to the point that my jammies would be soaked in sweat… I was having dizzy spells and my BP had very weird fluctuations.

“Twice I had my blood drawn - and the last was for a thorough autoimmune blood panel. It took almost 2 weeks to get my results.

“I was reluctant to post my pics because I lost weight again. I went down to 92 lbs, my hemoglobin also went down to as low as 8.7, and because my doctor told me unless I put serious effort into eating real food with high iron content (examples are beef, spinach, egg, chicken liver) I was endangering my heart's health. 

“I knew I had to help myself, nobody else could eat for me, and slowly I started eating food again. But it's an uphill climb, since the new year I’ve only managed to gain 3 lbs.

“I cried nonstop when I got my blood panel results. My Churg Strauss/EGPA is still being treated, but to add to it my CREST SYNDROME is now in full ACTIVE mode. 

“And I'm already exhibiting many symptoms for another autoimmune connective tissue disease- it's highly likely based on my ANA count, my high inflammatory numbers, my anemia, my now constant elevated blood pressure at night, and the consistent appearance of the “butterfly rash”  on my face that I’m at the initial stage of SLE or what’s commonly called lupus.

“My methotrexate dosage has been increased, I'm continuing with Dupixent, and I need to gain at least 8 pounds then Dr. Belperio and Dr. Malika Gupta will give me a trial baby dose of Rituxan (RITUXIMAB). It's a risk because it's normally given with steroids which my body reacts very adversely to. But my faith is still strong.

“We have a merciful and loving God who hears our prayers. My battle has become more complex BUT I promised my sons and my sisters-I won’t be a wimp. And I’m promising all my friends plus all who continue to pray for me: bawal sumuko, tuloy pa rin ang laban.”

Makikita naman sa mga larawan na nasa IG reels ni Kris ang mga “ganap” sa buhay niya habang nananahimik siya sa social media.

Nandoon ang pictures ng pagdalaw nina Kim Chiu at Bela Padilla sa kanya at iba pa niyang friends and relatives.

Nandoon din ang photos ng mga anak ni Kris na sina Bimby at Joshua na kasama ang host-actress. At meron din na kasama nina Bimby at Joshua ang anak ni Batangas Vice-Governor Marc Leviste.

And of course, photos ni Marc kasama sina Kris at Joshua.

Meaning, literal na nasa tabi ni Kris at nakabantay sa kanya si Marc. 

Gaya ni Kris, patuloy pa ring ipinaglalaban ni Marc ang kanyang pag-ibig sa ina nina Joshua at Bimby.
