Justin Timberlake: List of Lyme disease symptoms after Mirrors singer's diagnosis
Justin Timberlake told fans of his "debilitating" health battle - having been diagnosed with Lyme disease - in a post on Instagram, following concerns over his performances Following Justin Timberlake's Lyme disease diagnosis, the Mirror has tonight outlined the key symptoms of the bacterial infection. Spread to humans by infected ticks, Lyme disease causes tiredness, aches and loss of energy, which can last for years. Justin, 44, told his fans about his diagnosis on Instagram on Thursday following the completion of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour. The singer said he wanted to "shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes" during his tour, which began in Vancouver, Canada in April last year and ended in Istanbul, Turkey this week. "As I'm reflecting on the tour and festival tour — I want to tell you a little bit about what's going on with me. Among other things, I've been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease — which I don't say so you feel bad for me — but to shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes," the Mirrors singer said on Instagram. It comes after the NHS warns mouth symptom could be life-shortening disease. The Mirror has highlighted the plights of people diagnosed with Lyme disease in recent years. Lorraine Damonte, who was battling the crippling disease, had to endure her children screaming "I don't want to die, I don't want to be like you" after they contracted the infection too. Lorraine, from Sevenoaks, Kent, fought the vile bacterial illness for almost ten years and at one point thought she was going to die. The mum experienced bloodshot eyes, nausea, joint pain and fatigue, telltale symptoms. It is unclear which signs Justin, who has won ten Grammy Awards, experienced but he referenced "crazy fatigue or sickness" and "joint pain" in his full Instagram post. In it, the star, from Memphis, Tennessee, told fans he was desperate to continue his tour despite the challenges. The NHS lists joint pain as a common Lyme disease symptom. However, it adds a circular or oval shape rash around a tick bite is the most common early symptom. The full list, as published on its website, reads; Circular or oval shape rash around a tick bite a high temperature, or feeling hot and shivery headache muscle and joint pain tiredness and loss of energy READ MORE: 'I went for a dog walk - it left me with a debilitating disease that's cost me £150,000' Ticks which may cause Lyme disease are found all over the UK, but high-risk places include grassy and wooded areas in southern England and the Scottish Highlands. If you think you could have Lyme disease the GP will ask about your symptoms and consider any rash or recent tick bites. But Lyme disease can be difficult to diagnose. It has similar symptoms to other conditions and there's not always an obvious rash. Two types of blood test are available to help confirm or rule out Lyme disease, however these tests are not always accurate in the early stages of the disease. You may need to be retested if you still have Lyme disease symptoms after a negative result, the NHS says. A course of antibiotics is typically the best treatment for the infection.

Justin Timberlake reveals Lyme disease diagnosis
Justin Timberlake is sharing that he has been 'battling some health issues' as he concludes his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, including that he was recently diagnosed with Lyme disease. The 'Mirrors' singer opened up about his diagnosis in an Instagram post Thursday, writing that he wanted to 'shed some light' on what he's been going through behind the scenes. 'Living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically,' Timberlake wrote. 'When I first got the diagnosis I was shocked for sure. But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness.' Lyme disease is a bacterial infection, with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi being the most common cause, Dr. Leana Wen previously told CNN. Wen is an emergency physician and professor of health policy and management at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health. Lyme disease is transmitted through the bite of a particular tick, the black-legged tick. There are three stages of Lyme disease, which can include flu-like symptoms, dizziness, chest pain, palpitations, arthritis, facial nerve paralysis, ongoing joint pain, fatigue, depression, palpitations, and other neurological, rheumatological and cardiac involvement. Timberlake went on to say this week that he was 'faced' with a decision to stop touring or to keep going, writing that 'the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling.' 'I'm so glad I kept going,' he wrote. Timberlake has been on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour since April 2024, and performed his final show on Wednesday in Istanbul. In his post on Thursday, Timberlake celebrated his experience while candidly questioning what his Lyme disease diagnosis means for his future on stage. 'There really is no way to put into words the feeling of being on a stage and getting to share the experience of live music with all of you. It's a vibration of frequency that is unmatched,' he wrote. 'I honestly don't know what my future is onstage but I'll always cherish this run!' Timberlake acknowledged that while he's typically a private person and was initially 'reluctant' to speak about his health, he is choosing to open up about it now because he's 'trying to be more transparent about my struggles so that they aren't misinterpreted,' and wants to 'help others.' 'Sharing all of this with the hope that we can all find a way to be more connected,' he added. 'I'd like to do my part to help others experiencing this disease too.'

Adam Sandler Honors Cameron Boyce In Happy Gilmore 2
In July 2019, Disney Channel star Cameron Boyce tragically died in his sleep at the age of 20, with his cause of death later being confirmed as a seizure related to his epilepsy. Cameron made his feature film debut at just 9 years old, when he starred in the horror movie Mirrors, which was released in 2008. However, he arguably got his big break with Disney, where he starred in the popular series Jessie, which aired between 2011 and 2015. He also starred in the Descendants movie franchise, where he played Carlos De Vil, with the third film marking Cameron's final performance before his tragic death. At the time of his passing, Cameron had been cast in Adam Sandler's movie Hubie Halloween, but filming hadn't yet started — and Adam was one of the celebrities who was left devastated by the star's sudden death. 'Too young. Too sweet. Too funny. Just the nicest, most talented, and most decent kid around,' Adam wrote on Instagram at the time. 'Loved that kid. Cared so much about his family. Cared so much about the world.' 'Thank you, Cameron, for all you gave to us. So much more was on the way,' he went on. 'All our hearts are broken. Thinking of your amazing family and sending our deepest condolences.' For reference, Adam had cast Cameron in Hubie Halloween after working with him on Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2 years earlier, where the young actor had played his son, Keithie Feder. And Adam was sure to honor Cameron when Hubie Halloween was released in October 2020, with the movie including a heartfelt end-credit dedication to the star that read: 'In loving memory of Cameron Boyce... Gone way too soon and one of the kindest, coolest, funniest, and most talented kids we knew. You live on forever in our hearts and are truly missed every day.' Fast-forward almost five years, and people noticed that Adam paid subtle tribute to Cameron yet again, this time in his movie Happy Gilmore 2, which was released on Netflix on Friday. In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in one of the film's early scenes, Cameron can be seen on a CRT TV that is playing an episode of Jessie. He is the only character from the show to feature in the chosen clip. Needless to say, fans have been left touched by this sweet gesture from Adam, and have praised how proactive he has been in keeping the late star's memory alive all these years later. 'Adam put a tiny Cameron Boyce (played his son in Grown Ups) tribute in Happy Gilmore 2. Excuse me while I sob 😭' one tweet that has been liked more than 23,000 times reads.'adam sandler found a way to have cameron boyce in the new happy gilmore :(' somebody else wrote, while another added: 'It's 10am and I'm crying seeing that Adam Sandler put a Cameron Boyce cameo in Happy Gilmore 2 😭'And one more claimed: 'adam sandler fucking loved cameron boyce like a son im gonna cry."

Respect for Zero rages at world with suitably angry soundtrack
NOT an album per se, Overtime is Italian hardcore outfit's debut recording for the Time to Kill imprint. Released on June 30, this prime slice of hardcore punk is full of rage, angst and undisguised aural violence – all condensed into a 10-minute EP. Taking the raging slam that has its roots in the Big Apple's NYC hardcore scene, the sound of youth rebelling and railing against the system has spread far and wide. This is very much the case here as the band's stated philosophy is very much of the left-wing variety. Formed in Sant'Elpidio a Mare, Italy, in 2013, the band is known for its strong stance against fascism and oppression, advocating for those treated as 'zero' to stand up and fight back. The band's music channels the rage of a generation facing repression and stifling of underground culture. That bit of the band's bio on 'rage' is apparent from the get-go, with opener Reaching Death threatening to rip off listerners' faces with its opening salvo. Intense, angry and downright violent would be apt descriptions of all four tracks here, with Mirrors having the additional groove to inspire lots of pogoing. Sagnol will also have fans of this genre creating a circle pit in their own bedrooms such is the ferocity of the song's delivery. Despite being in existence for a dozen years, Respect for Zero's studio output is slim, with just the one previous full-length album – The Truth Remain, released in 2015. With a new label supporting its endeavours, it is hoped that there will be much more music from Respect For Zero. The evidence heard on Overtime is very promising – a solid clanking bassline underpinning chugging riffs that are both meaty and groovy. This is angry music made by angry young men, with themes of alienation, hopelessness and despair adding grist to the mill. Powerful stuff.
