‘Queen of All Media’ Kris Aquino revealed that she has been diagnosed with lupus due to her worsening condition during the holidays.
Aquino said she welcomed the New Year with her health continuing to deteriorate and with the discovery of a new auto-immune disease.
In a three-part video, Aquino documented her struggle with her active rare autoimmune diseases, such as her Churg Strauss / EGPA and Crest Syndrome.

She later on disclosed that she is already exhibiting symptoms of SLE, or systemic lupus erythematosus, the most common form of lupus.
“I cried nonstop when I got my blood panel results,” she wrote in her caption.
“It’s highly likely based on my ANA count my high inflammatory numbers, my anemia, my now constant elevated blood pressure at night, and the consistent appearance of ‘butterfly rash’ on my face that I’m at the initial stage of SLE, or what is commonly known as lupus,” Aquino added.

Aquino told her loved ones that she would remain strong in battling these autoimmune disorders.
“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. Bawal pa ring sumuko. Tuloy ang laban,” she said.
