Former porn star left unable to walk

Jameson’s partner, Lior Bitton, said that she was in the hospital undergoing testing after “not feeling so good”, the New York Post reports.

Bitton said that the 47-year-old had been “throwing up for a couple weeks” and went to the hospital last week, but after a CT scan came back clear, doctors released her to return home.

“Then she came back home and she couldn‘t carry herself,” Bitton said in a video on Saturday.

“Her muscles in her legs were very weak. So she wasn’t able to walk to the bathroom. She was falling on the way back from or to the bathroom, I would have to pick her up and carry her to bed.

“And then within two days it got really not so good, her legs started to not hold her, she wasn’t able to walk.”

According to America’s health agency, the CDC, Guillain-Barre Syndrome is a “rare, auto-immune disorder in which a person’s own immune system damages the nerves, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis.”

The symptoms can last from weeks to several years. Most fully recover but some have permanent nerve damage.

In an Instagram Story, Bitton announced that Jameson was being given a high dose of immunoglobulin therapy.

“She’s going to start the treatment for that,” Bitton said.

“It’s in [the] hospital, she’s doing physical therapy to try and stand on her legs, but at the moment she cannot stand on her legs. They’re starting the treatment so they’ll see how it goes. So keep praying.”

On Monday, Jameson posted a video confirming her diagnosis, thanking fans for their good wishes before writing: “I did NOT get the jab or any jab. This is NOT a reaction to the jab. Thank you for your concern.”
