Ghanaian actor John Peasah, popularly known as Drogba from the TV series YOLO, is currently facing a challenging health condition.
Despite multiple visits to the hospital, he has not shown any improvement, leading to a prolonged period of diagnosis.
During an interview with DJ Slim on Hitz FM, Peasah revealed that he has been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder characterized by progressive muscle rigidity and stiffness, especially in the trunk muscles.
The actor expressed frustration with the medications he has been taking, as they only make him drowsy and do not alleviate his pain.
Peasah also shared that he has recently been diagnosed with sleep apnea, a condition where he stops breathing during sleep.
He now has to use a sleep pap machine to ensure his breathing continues while he sleeps. The actor emphasized the severity of his condition, highlighting how his heart is the only functioning organ while he is asleep.
The actor disclosed that Stiff Person Syndrome is more common in individuals with a larger body size, making his case even more complex for doctors to understand.
He expressed gratitude to a foreign doctor who helped in diagnosing his condition, as the disease is known to be challenging to identify.
