Jonathan Ross says his daughter’s fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is “getting slowly better” as he opened up about her diagnosis. The ITV chat show host, 62, added that Betty still “cannot walk far” after being diagnosed with FMS, a long-term condition that causes pain all over the body.
Ross said Betty also has chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), a long-term condition that causes extreme tiredness and problems sleeping and thinking and postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS), an abnormal increase in heart rate that occurs after sitting up or standing. Ross said doctors thought his daughter’s illnesses may have been caused by Covid as they are immune system conditions but there is “no consensus” on treating her yet, reports the Liverpool Echo.
He also told Loose Women that she is now using an electric wheelchair since the summer to be mobile while going long distances Ross credits the Perrin Technique which treats CFS and FMS through osteopathic techniques and manual lymphatic drainage for improving Betty’s health.
