Taking to her Instagram, Thomas shared her diagnosis and revealed that a condition has caused swelling of the eye’s optic nerve, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
“I was diagnosed with Optic Neuritis a few months ago after nearly 2 years of being told my migraines were stress related,” the 30-year-old revealed on March 5. “They then thought I had MS which was ruled out (for now) but now the pressure in my head literally takes me off my feet.”
“I wanna start my thank yous by saying a huge thanks to my mom and dad who are always there to help me with the boys,” the social media star wrote at the time.
“I hate being wiped off my feet with a migraine or sickness but they will always be the first ones to take the boys for a few hours and I’m so grateful to have you both.”
Jehane Thomas has a whopping 67,000 followers on TikTok, documenting many of her frequent journeys to the hospital on social media.
