Ghanaian Actor, John Peasah, known by many as Drogba from the popular YOLO series, has opened up about his ongoing battle with a severe health condition.
In March of this year, Drogba was diagnosed with a life-threatening demyelinating disease, a condition he has been grappling with for over two years.
In a heartfelt Instagram video, Drogba detailed the immense pain and complications he faces daily, revealing that his condition often renders him unable to speak or breathe easily.
He expressed regret for not keeping his fans updated about his health, explaining that the hospital staff had become uncomfortable with him taking pictures, which limited his ability to share updates.
“I am sorry I have not actually updated you concerning what is wrong with me, but the whole problem. As for the hospital I go to, it got to a point where the doctors were not comfortable with me taking pictures, so that’s the reason I don’t update,” Drogba shared.
Visibly struggling, Drogba explained the complexity of his condition and how it affects his daily life.
“To be honest with you, the thing is very complicated, and I can’t explain how I feel. At times, my speech becomes a problem; it’s off. Today, I can say it better; that’s the reason I am trying to record fast.”
He continued, “As for the pain in my back, it’s still there; I take drugs to reduce the pain. I also do slight exercises to ease the pain because when I do intensive exercise, it triggers something. It affects my neck to be shaking or my hand.”
In the video, Drogba also demonstrated the difficulty he faces with walking since his diagnosis.
Despite his immense pain and struggles, Drogba’s bravery and determination to keep his fans informed are evident.
The actor has appealed for support to help him navigate the rigorous treatment process required for his illness.
His candid revelation has touched the hearts of many fans and supporters, who are rallying behind him during this challenging time.
Drogba’s plight sheds light on the often-hidden battles faced by public figures, reminding us all of the importance of empathy and support for those enduring health struggles.
His courage in sharing his story is an inspiration, and the entertainment community stands united in wishing him strength and recovery.
