Actress-host Kris Aquino welcomed 2024 with another health update.

In a three-part Instagram post, Kris has run down and documented her struggles while battling with active rare autoimmune disease called Churg Strauss / EGPA and Crest Syndrome. She also disclosed that her blood results are now forming symptoms of SLE, or systemic lupus erythematosus, the most common form of Lupus.

"I cried nontstop when I got my blood panel result. My Churg Strauss/EGPA is still being treated, but to add it to my Crest Syndrome is now in full ACTIVE mode. And I'm already exhibiting many symptoms for another autoimmune connective tissue disease -- it's highly likely based on my ANA count, my high inflamatory numbers, my anemia, my now constant elevated blood pressure at night, and the consitest appearance of the 'butterfly rash' on my face that I'm at the initial stage of SLE or what's commonly known as Lupus," Kris wrote on her post.

According to Mayo Clinic, Lupus is a disease "that occurs when your body's immune system attacks your tissues and organs." 

As Kris gave a glimpse of her health update on social media for the first time this year, she also assured her fans and followers that she will get better and not be a "wimp" to her loved ones.

"We have a merciful and loving God who hears our prayers. Our battle has become more complex but I promised my sons and sisters that I wouldn’t be a wimp. And I'm promising all my friends plus all who continue to pray for me: Bawal pa ring sumuko, tuloy pa rin ang laban," Kris added.

Kris has been staying in the U.S. since June 2022 to get treatment for autoimmune diseases.
