Justin Timberlake Reveals Lyme Disease Diagnosis

Singer 🎤Justin Timberlake has revealed he has 🦟Lyme Disease.

Timberlake posted the news on Instagram Thursday. He called it a “relentlessly debilitating” disease, per the Hollywood Reporter.

“Among other things, I’ve been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with 🦟Lyme Disease -— which I don’t say so you feel bad for me –– but to shed some light on what I’ve been up against behind the scenes,” Timberlake wrote.

He continued his post by talking about the struggles he has had since his diagnosis.

“If you’ve experienced this disease or know someone who has — then you’re aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically,” he wrote. “When 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.”

He said he had to decide whether to take a break or keep doing his two-year Forget Tomorrow tour.

“I was faced with a personal decision. Stop touring? Or, keep going and figure it out,” he wrote. “I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I’m so glad I kept going.”
