Hey everyone — I just wanted to be really open and update you all on everything that’s been going on behind the scenes.
The past week has honestly been hell. It all started with dizziness, stomach problems, and weird nerve symptoms like numbness in my hands and feet. I ended up in hospital where they found a UTI, but despite four tests, no bacteria was ever found. My white cell count is high, though, which means my body is definitely fighting something.
Since then, the infection has spread and I’ve been struggling with pain in my prostate, kidneys, and testicles — the pain has been so bad it’s been shooting down my leg. I’ve been on strong antibiotics which are known to have serious side effects — I’ve already experienced two rare ones: constant tinnitus (ringing in my ears) and nerve issues. And today, things got worse. I’ve had to come into A&E with suspected testicular torsion.
I’ve also got a fertility test booked soon, which makes all of this feel even heavier. Me and Mason are starting our family journey and all this uncertainty has really knocked me.
We did manage to film yesterday, mainly because I didn’t want Mason taking all the weight of work on his own — but honestly, I was feeling so rough and probably shouldn’t have pushed myself.
We were planning to drop a new video tonight — it’s filmed and ready, but I still need to edit it. Depending on how today goes in hospital, I’ll try my best to get it done, but I hope you understand if it’s delayed.
Just want to say thank you for the constant support and kind messages. It’s not always easy to share this stuff, but I want to be real with you guys.
Love always,
