Find out about Kris Aquino’s illness; what are the symptoms and how to prevent it?
The decline in the body of the so-called “Queen of All Media” in the Philippines, Kris Aquino, is noteworthy, which she admitted vulgarly in her latest Instagram post.
Aquino said, “I admit that my health is far from okay… but we are still doing everything we can right now, to help others.”
What is Kris Aquino’s real illness?
In 2018, she shared that she was scared of her situation.
“My body collapsed, in one month I lost 15 pounds. I was scared. Our mom had unexplained weight loss before her cancer diagnosis. That’s why I had my series of blood tests. This is our truth,” Aquino said in an Instagram post on October 3, 2018.
This refers to her mother, Corazon Aquino, who also experienced a physical collapse and was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2008, who passed away in 2009. Medical tests Aquino underwent revealed that her illness might be a tumor, which they confirmed was not the case after the results of the tests were negative.
Aquino was initially diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, a condition in which the body’s own immune system mistakenly attacks its own body. An example of this is the famous singer Selena Gomez.
In a separate Instagram post, which has now been deleted, he confirmed that his condition is called “chronic spontaneous urticaria,” an autoimmune disease.
“I am now, and for the rest of my existence will be, on high dosage antihistamines and having the EpiPen will always be crucial. Severe allergies are life threatening because of anaphylactic shock,” Aquino explained his illness
A person experiencing chronic spontaneous urticaria or CSU develops an unusual and unexpected rash.
According to WebMB, a health website that provides health information, CSU has no clear cause so it is best to see experts such as doctors.
The rash lasts from 30 minutes to 24 hours and is expected to occur frequently.
If the CSU you experience is severe or prolonged, you can also expect to experience several symptoms such as fatigue, pain or swelling of the joints, redness of the face, neck or upper chest, and rapid heartbeat.
WebMB added that CSU can affect anyone but its cases are more common in women. CSU is “idiopathic” or has no specific cause.
Here are some of the things that can trigger or worsen a person with CSU: alcohol, bathing with warm water, humidity (or dryness of the environment), Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and ibuprofen, scratching the skin, spicy foods, and tight clothing.
To prevent this, it is necessary to first avoid things that can trigger the disease. In case of a rash caused by CSU, high-dose oral antihistamines are required as per the doctor’s advice.
If antihistamines are not enough, expect doctors to prescribe steroids, followed by antihistamines.
There is no cure for CSU but the chance that symptoms will disappear within a year of diagnosis is 30%-50%. Symptoms can still be experienced even after five years because symptoms usually last one to five years.
In a 2020 study by Peter Stepaniuk, Manstein Kan, and Amin Kanani, titled “Natural history, prognostic factors and patient perceived response to treatment in chronic spontaneous urticaria,” 30% of patients with CSU improved within two years, and 16% lasted for 10 years or more.
According to the data released by the study, men with CSU usually improve within 33 months, and up to 48 months in women.
