Filipina TV icon Kris Aquino has once again opened up about her ongoing battle with multiple autoimmune diseases, revealing that she has been diagnosed with yet another condition. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Kris shared a photo of herself in bed, surrounded by close friends and doctors who continue to support her through this difficult time.
A Shocking Health Update
Kris, known as the “Queen of All Media,” revealed that she now weighs only 37 kilos (82 pounds), making her too weak to return to work. On top of her six previously diagnosed autoimmune diseases, she has now been diagnosed with her seventh—Fibromyalgia.
According to medical experts, Fibromyalgia is a disorder that causes widespread muscle and joint pain, fatigue, sleep problems, and even memory issues. But Kris’ health struggles don’t stop there. She also shared that she is showing symptoms of two more possible autoimmune diseases:
Polymyositis – A condition that causes muscle weakness and inflammation. Mixed Connective Tissue Disease – A rare disorder that affects multiple organs and tissues in the body.
Enduring Severe Pain Without Medication
Kris’ situation is even more challenging because she is allergic to almost all pain relievers, including NSAIDs, steroids, antibiotics, and Immunoglobulin Therapy. This means that even though she experiences intense physical pain, she has very few medical options to ease her suffering.
A Long List of Health Battles
Before her latest diagnosis, Kris had already been dealing with six autoimmune diseases:
Autoimmune Thyroiditis – A condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid. Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria – Severe allergic reactions causing rashes and swelling. EGPA (Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis) – A rare and life-threatening form of vasculitis. Systemic Sclerosis – A disease that hardens and tightens the skin and internal organs. Lupus – A disease where the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues. Rheumatoid Arthritis – A chronic disease that causes painful swelling in the joints.
Despite her worsening health, Kris remains strong, ending her post with the hashtags #HindiSusuko (Won’t Give Up) and #TuloyAngLABAN (The Fight Continues).
Love Life Update—Single and Focused on Healing
For those curious about Kris’ personal life, she made it clear that she is single and has been for some time. “No boyfriend, so clearly no fiancé,” she said. Kris previously shared that she had been in a relationship with a Makati-based doctor in 2024, but she has chosen not to reveal more details now that they are no longer together.
Kris’ Journey Back Home
After spending two years in the U.S. for medical treatment, Kris returned to the Philippines in 2024 to continue her immunosuppressant infusions. For her 54th birthday this February, she celebrated quietly with her two sons, Josh and Bimby.
A Message of Gratitude
Despite her struggles, Kris remains grateful for the love and support from her fans. She ended her post by thanking everyone who has been praying for her recovery. While her health remains fragile, Kris Aquino is determined to keep fighting.
Let’s send Kris our love and prayers!
