Former porn star Jenna Jameson is in the hospital and unable to walk after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Over the weekend, Jameson’s partner, Lior Bitton — with whom she shares 4-year-old daughter Batel Lu —revealed on Instagram that she was in the hospital undergoing tests after “not feeling so good.”
The ex-porn star had been throwing up for two weeks before going to the hospital last week, only to be sent home, Bitton explained.
“Then she came back home and she couldn’t carry herself,” Bitton said in a video on Saturday. “Her muscles in her legs were very weak. So she wasn’t able to walk to the bathroom. She was falling on the way back or to the bathroom, I would have to pick her up and carry her to bed. And then within two days, it got really not so good, her legs started to not hold her, she wasn’t able to walk.”
What is Guillain-Barré?
Guillain-Barré (Ghee-YAN Bah-RAY) syndrome (GBS) is a rare, autoimmune disorder in which a person’s own immune system damages the nerves, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis. GBS can cause symptoms that last for a few weeks to several years. Most people recover fully, but some have permanent nerve damage. Some people have died of GBS.
