Her post comes months after she revealed she was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis amid a lengthy health ordeal last year.
In a January interview with Self and on her Instagram, she opened up about the diagnosis and health issues.
'Being diagnosed with interstitial cystitis while simultaneously searching for answers about a mysterious autoimmunity/inflammatory disease made 2024 the hardest year of my life,' she wrote on her Instagram at the beginning of the year while reflecting on 2024.
Also known as bladder pain syndrome, interstitial cystitis is 'a condition that causes long-term pain or discomfort in the bladder and abdominal area, along with urinary frequency and urgency,' according to the Cleveland Clinic.
During her interview with Self, she revealed she has been suffering from mysterious symptoms for the past four years that have led doctors to believe she is either suffering from an autoimmune disorder — however, they are uncertain which one it is — or the lingering effects of a past infection.
And over the summer, she began experiencing symptoms similar to those of a urinary tract infection that ultimately led to her IC diagnosis.
