Legendary U.S. gymnast McKayla Maroney has opened up about a difficult health situation.
Maroney, part of the legendary “Fierce Five” at the 2012 Summer Games, explained that she had a hellish summer, struggling with insomnia, among other issues.
“I slept a total of 10 days out of 3 months. I’d like to say it was a nightmare, but you have to sleep to have nightmares,” she wrote.
“I went to tons of doctors, and I’ve only just begun to get to the root cause of this health spiral crisis lol. Thankfully I did finally find out I have ✨histamine intolerance✨which was causing a massive adrenaline problem for me — and when it got really bad, high histamine foods made me feel internally itchy, like I was getting bit by mosquitoes all night.”
Fans are praying that McKayla will figure out the root of her health issues soon.
“I feel bad for her. I thought I had terrible insomnia, but mine is mild compared to hers. I have nights where I might get an hour or two of sleep. Sometimes that goes on for 4 or 5 days, then I just crash and get about 5 hours in one night,” one fan wrote.
“I dont know who this is but my heart goes out. Nothing is more mentally debilitating than a bout of true insomnia. I dont mean taking an hour to fall asleep. I mean not sleeping at all for 3+ days. You break from reality, suffer arrhythmia, emotional breakdown. Ask me how i know,” one fan added.
“Prayers for you🌷🙏🌷,” one fan added.
“I’m so sorry mckayla 😟 I feel so bad and I will be praying for you 🫶🏻🫶🏻🥹 this totally isn’t fair,” one fan added.
Our thoughts are with McKayla during this difficult time.
