Aussie TV star hospitalised with scary health issue
Former Bachelor star Lisa Hyde has been rushed to hospital after collapsing at her home.
The Aussie TV star shared a photo to Instagram on Tuesday while in a neck brace and lying in a hospital bed after being diagnosed with Crowned Dens Syndrome (CDS).
CDS is a rare condition leading to neck pain and stiffness after too many calcium deposits form on the bone's surrounding ligaments.
'Sometimes you don't choose the break, the break chooses you. I've been constantly pushing myself and my body just couldn't keep up,' she wrote.
'Grateful for the wakeup call and the chance to slow down and reset (although next time I'd appreciate a beach somewhere in Europe.'

Lisa also shared a video surrounded by family in hospital and said: 'We are staying positive!
'I have a good cheer squad keeping me entertained with dance performances, snacks, cute giggles, and mum's new zumba moves. Laughter really is the best medicine.'
Lisa revealed she had been rushed to hospital earlier this week after collapsing in her home.
'Went to hospital and they said it was just muscular, but I knew something wasn't right,' she said.
'Got home, then collapsed a couple hours later. My parents found me on the floor, barely able to talk or move. The pain was unbearable.'
She later explained: 'They're now treating me for something called crowned dens syndrome.'
'It's a rare condition where uric acid crystals build up in the spine causing intense neck and head pain.'
Lisa shot to fame on Blake Garvey's 2014 season of The Bachelor.
After failing to find love, she briefly returned to reality TV in 2018 on the first season of Bachelor In Paradise.
Shortly after her split from co-star Luke McLeod, Lisa found love with Damon Collina and they welcomed daughter Myja-Jae in July 2019.
At the time, Lisa admitted the difficulty in balancing motherhood with a burgeoning business empire.
'I used to think I was so busy before I became a mum,' she told Daily Mail Australia. 'I had no idea!'
'In the first three months of having MJ, I was lucky enough to find time in the day to shower or do anything for myself really - that part they don't tell you,' Lisa added.
'For me, the key to juggling "mum life" and running a business is having a good routine and surrounding myself with people you can trust and rely on.'
