JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE DIAGNOSED WITH LYME DISEASE

Pop star Justin Timberlake has revealed his Lyme disease diagnosis.

The Sexy Back singer just finished his Forget Tomorrow world tour in Turkey. While on tour, the singer was faced with several issues of backlash as concertgoers complained that his performance lacked excitement and energy.

Many believe this has led to Timberlake revealing his diagnosis.

In a post on Instagram, he said: “If you’ve experienced this disease or know someone who has — then you’re aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically. When I first got the diagnosis, I was shocked for sure…I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness.”

“I honestly don’t know what my future is onstage, but I’ll always cherish this run! And all of them before! It’s been the stuff of legend for me,” Timberlake wrote.

According to the Associated Press, Lyme disease is transmitted by Ixodes ticks, also known as deer ticks. It can cause flu-like conditions, neurological problems, joint pain and other symptoms. In the vast majority of cases, Lyme disease is successfully treated with antibiotics.

Timberlake joins a string of other celebrities who have also revealed their Lyme disease diagnosis, including Canadian singer Justin Bieber and American model Gigi Hadid.
