August Alsina Battling Liver Disease, Hospitalized After Being Unable To Walk ‘I Couldn’t Feel My Legs’
August Alsina has news for his fans about his health. He’s been privately living with liver disease and is currently in the hospital after losing his ability to walk. He was rushed to the hospital earlier this week. He said in a video from a hospital bed,
“I woke up one day and wasn’t able to walk. I couldn’t feel my legs. My doctor ended up admitting me into the hospital.”
He added that his doctors are still doing evaluations.
“They’re doing a bunch of tests. He said I have some nerve damage going on throughout my whole body that I have to go into a recovery process for. It’s like my immune system just went on vacation.”
He had to skip a performance recently because of his condition. He vowed to make it up to fans and asked them to keep him in their thoughts and prayers.
“I’m man down right now, & figured I should share.. that My auto immune disease is raging, but im fighting this thing & on my mission to shake back & [be able] to make it up to you!”
August first dished on his health in 2017. He said,
“I have a liver disease where my autoimmune system is fighting against itself.”
“The reality of it is, I’m sick all the time. I don’t really like to talk about it because I’m not looking for anybody’s sympathy. Don’t treat me like I’m a f–king cancer patient, ’cause I’m not.”
Let’s keep August Alsina in our prayers!
