Kris Aquino is further speaking up about her health condition, revealing that she is currently in isolation due to her worsening condition, and that her immune system is seemingly getting weaker.

Aquino gave a health update on her Instagram account on Sunday, November 10, as she shared that her white blood cells dropped and she had a “bad allergic reaction to the last antibiotic I could still tolerate.”

“During my hospitalization, my [white blood cells] dropped… I also had a bad allergic reaction to the last antibiotic I could still tolerate. What did that mean—wala na ’kong panlaban sa kahit anong (I don’t have anything left to fight against) viral or bacterial infection,” she said.

“I’m now in isolation. So many rules for family and friends na gusto akong dalawin (who want to visit me). Yes, it’s lonely,” she continued.

Regarding her recent treatment, Aquino shared that she had a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line two weeks ago while thanking the medical staff at the Makati Medical Center.

“I always try my best to highlight the positive because having 6 autoimmune conditions is depressing. Hindi po ako nagkamali (I wasn’t wrong), in my last update I had 5 diagnosed autoimmune disorders, but just like the Pop Mart Care Bears na 6 ang laman (with six inside) given to me by my new friends @rouge_and_orange #6 is the supremely punishing rheumatoid arthritis,” she added.

The actress-host then admitted that her autoimmune conditions make her feel hopeless, but she still “keeps [on] going” because she doesn’t want to “disappoint those praying” for her.

“Kahit gaano katapang ako (No matter how brave I am), there are moments especially pag nagsabay sabay my unexplainable allergies, my lupus, rashes, fever like heat in my entire body, migraine, and rheumatoid arthritis flares, the worst, stabbing/crushing deep bone pain in my knees, hips, ankles, plus my high blood pressure (170/116); I ask myself kaya ko pa ba (can I still do this)?,” she said.

“What keeps me going? I refuse to disappoint all those praying for me. Ayokong maisip nyo na binalewala ko yung time & effort ninyo (I don’t want you to think that I’m wasting your time and effort). Because your compassion has deeply touched my heart,” she further added.
