Kris Aquino reveals suffering 9 autoimmune diseases: 'I'm learning to leave  everything to God' - The Filipino Times

Kris Aquino Confirms She’s Now Battling TWO More Autoimmune Diseases — Ongoing Health Struggles Take an Emotional Toll

Just when fans thought things were finally improving for Kris Aquino, the Queen of All Media has confirmed that her health battle has become even more difficult: she has been diagnosed with two additional autoimmune diseases, on top of the several she is already fighting.

The emotional announcement was shared through a heartfelt social media post, where Kris detailed her current condition, treatments, and the mental toll her medical journey has taken on her.

“I thought I was getting better… but my body had other plans,” Kris wrote. “The list keeps growing, and I have no choice but to keep fighting.”


🩺 CURRENT HEALTH STATUS: A TOTAL OF 11 ILLNESSES

According to her latest update, Kris is now officially battling a total of 11 medical conditions, many of which are autoimmune in nature. Her original diagnoses included:

Chronic spontaneous urticaria

Autoimmune thyroiditis

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA)

Lupus-like symptoms

Severe vasculitis

Migraines, fibromyalgia, and more

Now, two more confirmed autoimmune diseases have been added — which Kris did not name publicly out of respect for her doctors and the ongoing testing process.

“I’m still waiting on additional test results, but I’ve accepted that this isn’t a short-term fight,” she said.


😔 AN EMOTIONAL BURDEN

While Kris has always been known for her bravery and resilience, she didn’t hide how emotionally exhausting the battle has been:

“Sometimes I wake up feeling like a stranger in my own body. And there are days I wonder how much longer I can keep going like this.”

She also admitted to feeling lonely, isolated, and “disconnected from the life [she] used to have.”

Her message struck a chord with thousands of fans who shared prayers, love, and strength through the comments.


💉 TREATMENT IN THE U.S. CONTINUES

Kris remains under treatment in the United States, where she has been residing for months with her son, Bimby, who continues to serve as her caregiver and constant source of emotional support.

She expressed deep gratitude to the medical team handling her case — which now includes multiple specialists for rheumatology, immunology, and cardiology.

“I thank God for Bimb, my rock, my nurse, and my sunshine during the darkest days.”


🧠 WHAT IS AN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE?

Autoimmune diseases happen when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy cells. These conditions are chronic, often difficult to diagnose, and can affect multiple organs at once. Treatment often requires lifelong immunosuppressants, steroids, and extremely careful monitoring.

“What makes Kris’s case so complex is that she’s not dealing with just one — but several overlapping conditions,” said Dr. Liza Robles, a Manila-based immunologist (not treating Kris).


🕯️ FANS & CELEBRITIES SEND LOVE

The reaction online was immediate. Hashtags like #PrayForKrisAquino, #LabanKris, and #QueenFighter quickly trended on social media.

Public figures including Vice Ganda, Kim Chiu, and Ogie Diaz posted messages of support:

“Kris, you are the strongest woman we know. You’ve overcome so much already. This too shall pass.” – Vice Ganda
“You are not alone. We’re all praying for you,” – Kim Chiu


💬 KRIS’S FINAL MESSAGE TO FANS

Despite everything, Kris ended her post with a message of hope and strength:

“I’m still here. I’m still fighting. And if you have it in your heart, please keep praying — not just for me, but for everyone going through invisible battles.”

“Someday I’ll come back stronger, and I’ll thank each of you personally for never giving up on me.”


🏁 FINAL THOUGHTS: A FIGHT FAR FROM OVER

Kris Aquino’s latest health update is a reminder that even the strongest people can face unimaginable battles behind the scenes. Her journey continues to inspire not just because of her celebrity status, but because of her raw courage, honesty, and grace in the face of pain.

Let us all continue to lift her in prayer — and remember that behind every smile she shares… is a warrior in silent battle.


Because true queens don’t wear crowns.
They wear scars — and still rise. 👑💛
