John Peasah, also known as Drogba from the popular TV series YOLO, has opened up about his battle with a rare disease called stiff person syndrome.
During a phone interview with DJ Slim on Daybreak Hitz, Drogba shared the challenges he faces due to the severe condition, which causes him constant pain and mobility issues.
Describing his daily struggles, Drogba revealed, “Every day I’m in pain, I’m not mobile… I find it very difficult to bath, use the washroom and that kind of things.” He highlighted the limitations the syndrome imposes on even basic activities.
Drogba also recounted instances where he has been paralyzed in public, experiencing intense neck pain.
“As I am talking to you right now, it wants to come but it is stopping… the syndrome affects your brain, spinal cord, which radiates to your leg and affects your speech as well… and right now, it has affected everything,” he explained.
The actor’s battle with stiff person syndrome has taken a toll on his overall well-being, making everyday tasks a challenge.
Despite the difficulties he faces, Drogba remains determined to stay positive and fight against the debilitating effects of the rare disease.
