According to Laura Zapata, her sister Thalía is not in good health and would be having quite complicated days due to Lyme disease, which was detected more than a decade ago.
Although Thalía has mentioned how difficult it has been for her to live with this condition, this time it was her sister, Laura, who recounted the complications that the interpreter of ‘Amor a la mexicana’ has to go through.
“Sometimes he feels bad, he tells me ‘little sister I can’t get up, I’m dragging myself, but I have to’. She is well disciplined, she has her gym at home and she tells me ‘I’m going to force myself, because I can’t move, my joints hurt, but I’m going to force myself’”, she told the media.
This rare disease is contracted through the bite of an infected tick and causes the bacteria enter the person’s body. If the pathology is not treated in time, it can cause serious consequences such as joint, nervous system and heart conditions.
Laura also expressed her concern for Tommy Mottola’s wife because the disease does not have a remedy and her mother, Doña Yolanda Miranda Mange, died of this disease.
“It is a disease that has no cure, my mother died with Lyme, she took 27 or 30 pills. (Thalia) is carrying her disease, I hope they find a cure for Lyme”, she shared.
Despite the hard times that her sister has to live, her family is her main engine to get ahead and fight her illness, as she commented that she is a very strong and determined person.
“She leaves her children at school, she picks them up, she is absolutely aware of her children, and well, when you are a mother and have children, you come into second place and she also pays great attention to herself, she is gorgeous”, she pointed out.
It was in 2007 that Thalía shared that she had Lyme disease, however, at the time the doctors claimed that they were only symptoms of postpartum depression.
Time passed and the singer continued with unbearable physical pain, to the extent that it prevented her from getting out of bed and leading her life as she did before.
“All In the mornings I wake up as if I had been hit by a bus”, stated the artist at that time.
To date, this disease has no cure, but in its early stages it can be treated to prevent further complications in the health of the infected person.
“Every hour of my life is a fight against Lyme. It is a very volatile disease. Some days I feel horrible, others like new, but regardless of that, I always try to get up and get into my routine quickly” Thalía
