Popular Nollywood actress, Kemi Afolabi, took to social media to express her distress over a concerning health issue.
The Yoruba actress had revealed last year that she was suffering from the autoimmune disease called ‘lupus’, which develops when the body’s tissues and organs are attacked by the immune system.
The movie star has since been abroad for checkups. However, Kemi chose to show her medical examination to the public this time.
She expressed her wish to get back in shape while complaining to the doctor about her swollen hands and feet.
Fortunately for her, she is in the remission stage and doesn’t experience nearly as much pains as she did earlier.
“My feet and hands have been swollen and I need to get back in shape. I do have pains and sickness in the morning, once in a while. It’s not as frequent anymore as it used to be.
Right now I am in the remission period because it hasn’t been bad, compared to what I was experiencing before” she said.
