singerWhile many people kept saying that Justin Bieber looks like shit and is on methamphetamine and other things, they could not understand that I was recently diagnosed with Lyme disease, along with a serious case of chronic infection that has affected my skin, brain, energy and overall health.
The singer said he is receiving "proper treatment" that will help him quickly overcome his illnesses and become even better than ever. He plans to talk about his illnesses and how he is treating them in an upcoming documentary YouTube series about his life.
The star's wife, model Hailey Bieber, defended her husband on Twitter against criticism from those who do not understand Lyme disease: "To those who try to downplay the severity of Lyme disease, please do your research and listen to the stories of people who have suffered from it for years. Mocking and belittling a disease you do not understand is never right."
Lyme disease is also called Lyme borreliosis. It is an infectious disease transmitted by ticks. The disease affects the skin, nervous system, musculoskeletal system and heart. Early manifestations of the disease may include fever, headaches, fatigue and a characteristic skin rash. In most cases it is cured with antibiotics.
