Kris Aquino shows effects of her allergies

Kris Aquino revealed in a press conference the true condition of her health – that she is suffering from 2 autoimmune disorders SLE (a form of Lupus) and Thyroiditis. Netizens who was able to watch and listen to Kris’ revelation expressed their concern and prayed for her fast recovery.

But how serious is it really?

Kris narrated an incident that happened to her and the effect of her allergies. She posted a photo with the following caption:

“i really wanted to personally watch One Great Love and Rainbow’s Sunset to support Kim Chiu and Harlene Bautista. My problem was last night i had what seemed like insect bites on my face- and my rheumatoid specialist asked me to please rest before we fly to Singapore.

There was nothing wrong with me during my Zalora shoot but right after watching the movie, puro pantal na. And swollen na my nose.

My chronic urticaria is so severe that it can lead to anaphylactic shock- to explain i got this from healthline.com

For some people with severe allergies, when they’re exposed to something they’re allergic to, they may experience a potentially life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis. As a result, their immune system releases chemicals that flood the body. This can lead to anaphylactic shock.

When your body goes into anaphylactic shock, your blood pressure suddenly drops and your airways narrow, possibly blocking normal breathing.

This condition is dangerous. If it isn’t treated immediately, it can result in serious complications and even be fatal.

So pag nasa neck pataas yung rashes, pantal, or hives- scary na. i shall do my best to keep you posted every few days regarding all my tests.

Bye for now.

❤️ Kris”
