After disclosing that he had Lyme disease, Justin Timberlake made a heartbreaking health disclosure.<\/p>\n
After spending the last two years traveling the world, the \u201cSelfish\u201d singer has finally taken some time to think back on his life.<\/p>\n
Timberlake said he wanted to provide fans \u201ca little bit about what\u2019s going on with [him]\u201d despite acknowledging that he\u2019s typically a \u201cprivate person.\u201d<\/p>\n
He wrote on Instagram, \u201cAs many of you know, I\u2019m a pretty private person. But as I\u2019m reflecting on the tour and festival tour \u2013 I want to tell you a little bit about what\u2019s going on with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Among other things, I\u2019ve been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease \u2014 which I don\u2019t say so you feel bad for me \u2013\u2013 but to shed some light on what I\u2019ve been up against behind the scenes. If you\u2019ve experienced this disease or know someone who has \u2014 then you\u2019re aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically.\u201d<\/p>\n
His candid post went on: \u201cWhen I first got the diagnosis I was shocked for sure. But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI was faced with a personal decision. Stop touring? Or, keep going and figure it out. I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I\u2019m so glad I kept going.\u201d<\/p>\n
Additionally, Timberlake revealed that he was \u201chesitant\u201d to talk about his health issues but is now \u201ctrying to be more transparent about my struggles so that they aren\u2019t misinterpreted.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSharing all of this with the hope that we can all find a way to be more connected,\u201d the well-known musician added. \u201cI\u2019d like to do my part to help others experiencing this disease too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bella Hadid is another well-known person who has openly discussed their struggle with Lyme illness.<\/p>\n
According to the Mayo Clinic, the disease is brought on by the bacterium borrelia, which people frequently contract after being bitten by a tick.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re at risk of Lyme disease if you spend time where the ticks live, such as grassy, brushy or wooded areas\u201d , it states. \u201cTaking safety measures in these areas can lower the risk of Lyme disease.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although the disease is most prevalent in the upper Midwest and the northeastern and mid-Atlantic states, ticks are found throughout the United States.<\/p>\n
Lyme disease is also very common in portions of Canada and Europe.<\/p>\n
