“I’ve never talked about it before, but I actually do have Crohn’s disease and I actually have rheumatoid arthritis as well”
The model sat down with friend Louise Cooney on theand spoke for the first time about her battle with Crohn’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
“I’ve never talked about it before, but I actually do have Crohn’s disease and I actually have rheumatoid arthritis as well,” she began.“It took it took a little while to get diagnosed, and when I did you know what I was fine. You have to take a little bit of time to accept that you have a lifelong illness, and I was put on medication and that was fine. And I had a really good standard of living. But that’s not to say that I wouldn’t have flare ups from from time to time,” Aoife shared.
“I subsequently found out that because I already have Crohn’s disease, which is an autoimmune disease, if you’re not familiar with it is where your immune system is actually fighting your body instead of healing it. And because I had a trauma in my toe, my body actually started attacking my feet rather than healing it, and I ended up getting an inflammatory disease, in my joints, in my feet, which was rheumatoid arthritis,” she shared.
“I was in New York. I just remember like being so upset and just being terrified. You have all these, scenarios running through your head being like, ‘what’s wrong with me?'” the mum of one confessed.“I had gotten the opportunity to Dancing With The Stars and sadly, I had to drop out because of this, but no one actually knew what was going on in the background.”
