The Lady of Rage was recently hospitalized after blacking out in a hotel lobby, striking her head on a cast iron frame. This weekend, she updated fans on her health, saying her most recent incident is the latest in a string of fainting spells that have landed her in the hospital over the past year.
“I know a lot of people have been wondering what’s going on with me in regards 2 my health, well today I will let y’all know what I know. Since Sept. 2017 I have been going back & forth to doctors & specialists for what started out as shortness of breath. Within that time I’ve been hospitalized 5 times,” Rage shared via Instagram. “Initially pneumonia was the diagnosis. Then I was told pneumonitis, to ‘we think you have lupus or sarcoidosis,’ to ‘you’re depressed, take this prozac.’”
She continued, “Fibromyalgia, sjorgens syndrome and idiopathic interstitial lung disease with fibrosis, which means the lungs are progressively being scarred & they don’t know why. That’s a lot, from 1 day you’re good, to the next day you’re not! My last performance was in Atlanta at the Queens of Hip Hop and thanks to my brother @dazdillinger we pulled it off!”
The Next Friday actress went on in detail about falling in a hotel lobby before a gig at Essence Fest.
“July 6th I was scheduled to perform at the Essence Fest & was very excited because this would have been my first time. As I walked in to the hotel I was cool. By the time I got to the counter I knew something was wrong! I asked for some water, and the next thing I know, I’m hearing someone say, “don’t move, and don’t touch your eye”! I had blacked out and fell face first into a cast iron frame at the front desk! Blacking out is called syncope, and this was my 3rd & most damaging time!”
