Kris Aquino has an update regarding her battle with multiple autoimmune disorders including autoimmune thyroiditis and Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA) or Churg-Strauss Syndrome.
She wrote a lengthy update on social media on February 2, days ahead of her 52nd birthday on February 14.
Kris shared she has a new doctor and a renewed confidence and hope to continue with her treatments. She also mentioned she has a "strong chance of getting better."
"For all of you, thank you for continuing to pray for me- I failed to ask his permission if I could name him, but my new doctor is considered among the BEST. I waited 3 & a half months to have a face to face consultation- and i know i made the right choice because after months of uncertainty, he gave someone like me, suffering from multiple autoimmune conditions the most important element needed: the renewed confidence to HOPE that although it will be a long process, i do have a strong chance of getting better. #faithful #grateful."
The actress and TV host also thanked fashion designer Michael Leyva for being a loyal friend and a guardian to her kids Josh and Bimby.
"To the original M.L. in my life @michaelleyva_ , little did i know, July of 2015- I'd make a lifelong, LOYAL friend and for Kuya Josh & Bimb to have an adopted kuya… Ibang klaseng #lovelovelove yung lumipad ka for just 4 nights, timing your trip so you'll be here on the day I had my 1st checkup… Thank you for the GENUINE LOVE & EXTREME EFFORT. Super appreciated ko that you never fail to mention that i was one of the people who helped open the door for you- pero dapat malaman ng lahat you won't be who you are NOW kung hindi ka creative, super sipag, always pleasant, still humble, kusang matulungin, concerned sa welfare ng employees mo and mapagmahal sa pamilya…"
Recently, Kris was reportedly seen visiting Disneyland with her sons Josh and Bimby while in the US.
Many netizens also noticed that the actress seemingly gained weight after suffering from weight loss issues due to her condition.
