Danielle Busby’s Mysterious Health: Does She Have Fibromyalgia?

Per her interview with US Weeklyfans that previously speculated Danielle Busby might suffer from fibromyalgia were not too far off in their guesses. Danielle Busby reveals that fibromyalgia is one of the conditions her doctors were treating her for as they worked to get to the bottom of exactly what was wrong with her. As a result of “her muscular tension and inflammation,” the TLC mother was diagnosed with both fibromyalgia and migraines.

It’s hard sometimes to even explain what I’m feeling or how my body is reacting to something even in the view of Adam because he’s like, ‘You look fine, you [were] fine yesterday. It’s annoying, it’s frustrating and there’s days where I didn’t do anything extreme or off-set or something and [I] just will get up and I can’t move my hands and my feet and so … it’s an up and down journey.”

The OutDaughtered star explains that the most frustrating part of her health struggles is the fact that she “looks fine” to people who are outside looking in.

What Is Fibromyalgia?

Also referred to as fibrositis, fibromyalgia is a deliberating condition that can cause pain and tenderness all over the human body. Per the CDC, the condition can cause “sleep problems, fatigue, and often emotional and mental distress.” Fibromyalgia is a condition that roughly two percent of the population suffers from. The CDC notes that medical experts are not sure what causes this chronic condition. While it cannot be cured, it can be treated and managed.

Like Danielle Busby, individuals with fibromyalgia often complain about the rest of the world not understanding the health struggles that come with the condition as the pain and suffering happens beneath the surface.
