OutDaughtered Star Gives a 2024 Health Update
The reality TV star spoke with Parade ahead of the new season’s premiere of OutDaughtered. She explained that there’s no “specific diagnosis,” but doctors treat her for “migraines, fibromyalgia, and autoimmune disease.” Actually, it’s been hard on her husband, Adam Busby, because some days she’s well, and other days, she’s quite debilitated. According to the CDC, Fibromyalgia causes terrible pain. It can also cause problems with sleeping properly, and result in “fatigue, and emotional and mental distress.”
TLC fans heard that Danielle Busby doesn’t only use traditional medicine, but she also follows “holistic” treatment like taking various supplements. She added:
I do take certain medications to help with a lot of like the nerve damage and the triggering, that I get up my neck until like the back of my head, which brings on these migraines and whatnot…Now that the kids are getting more independent, my body itself has actually slowed down a lot. So I’ve had a lot of inflammation, a lot of swelling, a lot of weight gain, to losing some weight to weight gain.
It sounds like Adam’s wife will never get better, but she can manage her health through lifestyle, medication, and vitamin supplements. Not everyone can understand a nonspecific diagnosis, but she hopes that some of her TLC fans can “relate” to her autoimmune problems.
