Comedienne Tuesday Vargas has written a touching message to her partner Joseph Puducay, who is fighting a rare diseases.

On her social media account, Tuesday reiterated her support for Joseph.

"I love you, let’s brave through this together," she penned, as she reposted Joseph's "Christmas letter."

There, Joseph opened up about his health condition.

"It’s that time of the year again where we celebrate you dear Jesus. Thank you for the love you shower upon us and for giving me another day to celebrate your birth despite the circumstances.

"After my PEG insertion which will allow me to have feedings via tube to my stomach, it has become a little harder for me on a daily basis. I am in pain 24/7, I can only tolerate a few sips of water, it hurts to breathe, move, talk and the liquid diet makes me miss out on some of my favorite foods I enjoy when I was not experiencing all these. I know you’ve given me this day to celebrate and reflect with you. I realize that I have countless battles that make me question myself. Despite this, in every waking day, I feel in my heart that I always have something to be grateful for.

"This is what I face Lord and I hope you can shine your healing light upon me: Basically having these syndromes (NCS, MALS, SMAS, MTS) wreak havoc throughout my body," said Joseph.

Joseph referred to Nutcracker Syndrome (rare vein compression disorder), Median Arcuate Ligament Syndome (very rare condition that affects the ligament that arches over the aorta), Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (rare condition that involves compression of the third portion of the duodenum), and May-Thurner Syndrome (rare vascular condition that affects a vein in the pelvis).

"The past months I know my health is deteriorating because of these syndromes. My immune system is weakening, I developed autoimmune disorders, my digestive system is failing, fatigue is becoming more and more prominent and my nutrient absorption is compromised. It is apparent that my overall health is taking a nose dive," he revealed.

"Aside from the debilitating symptoms, it’s rare and really hard to diagnose. I have been to several hospitals, meeting and working with dozens of medical practitioners but there seems to be no definitive treatment plan yet."

Joseph said he has surrendered to the Lord.

Tuesday assured Joseph of her support, writing: "Kapit lang mahal. Kaya natin ito. Gagaling ka. Naniniwala ako. We love you!"

She also penned this on Instagram: "Mula noong unang araw na nangka kilala tayo ay alam ko na agad na may rason bakit nag krus ang landas natin. Gaano man ka kumplikado ang sitwasyon ay inilaan talaga ng Dyos na maging bahagi tayo ng buhay ng isa’t isa. Napaka buti mo at naiintindihan ko na bakit ka dinala ng tadhana sa akin, at ako sa iyo. Mahirap man ang pinag dadaanan natin sa ngayon ay lalampasan natin ito nang mag kasama. Hinding hindi ako susuko gumaling ka lang. Kapit mahal, may pag asa at may sagot. Nandito ako at hinding hindi kita iiwan @josephpuducay."
