Louise Thompson has shared a worrying health update as she revealed that she thinks she may have Lupus.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 32, sparked concern among her fanbase when she posted a shocking image of her face covered in a severe rash earlier this week.
Now, the mum-of-one, who has suffered with several physical and mental health issues since the traumatic birth of her son last year, has said that she is currently awaiting more tests following the her latest ailment.
Louise explained that she had broken out into a large rash on her face, which she claims felt as though she had 'battery acid' poured into her head.
Sharing an update on her health, Louise penned: "Thanks for all your kind messages yesterday.
"A LOT of you messaged me mentioning Lupus and the (private) doctor I saw yesterday took one look at me and said 'YEAH Lupis big time...', so I'm hoping to follow up with someone more specialist.
"It's frustrating because I've suggested Lupus to the NHS and my gastro team at Chelwest (Chelsea and Westminster Hospital) before and they haven't wanted to follow up at all.
"I had some blood tests done privately a while ago with a lovely rheumatologist which suggested Lupus because of my antibodies but they didn't acknowledge it and didn't want to change my TNF treatment for my UC."
Louise's update comes after the former reality TV star shared shocking images of a rash which surrounded her nose and under her eyes.
Alongside the concerning snaps, Louise told her followers: "I honestly feel like I've had battery acid poured into my head.
"I've been given Co-codamol for the pain but now worried about that interacting with mirtazapine [anti-depressant].
"Something I've taken in the past few days has turned my typical 'flu' into something much worse. I can handle temperatures, body aches and pains, but the unrelenting pressure around my temples is astronomical.
"I've woken up with the most horrendous rash and swelling accompanied by this ongoing headache and really bad pain in my face.
Louise said she felt as though her immune system was 'attacking' her face before continuing: "It's actually a miracle anyone got any sleep in our house last night. Ryan has come down with it too."
The Mirror has reached out to Louise's representatives for further comment on this story.
