JP Rosenbaum was diagnosed with a very rare syndrome this past Sunday. JP has Guillain-Barré syndrome. Just to refresh everyone, Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare neurological disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the nerves. TV Shows Ace shared news of his diagnosis, but now he is suffering from serious side effects of the illness.

How is Guillain-Barré syndrome affecting JP?

US Weekly shared that JP went to Instagram to give his fans an update on Tuesday. He shared that he was released from the hospital on Monday and is resting comfortably at home. He said, “Clearly I have not changed or showered in a while. This morning was pretty brutal, I had some pretty severe migraines. I’ve never had a migraine before and these were just incapacitating. I couldn’t move, talk or anything. It was rough.”

JP was infused with IVIG, or intravenous immunoglobulin, a human blood product made up of antibodies. This costly infusion has become the gold standard for treating a variety of immunodeficiency disorders. This is also the cause of JP’s excruciating migraines.

These are not the only issues he is having. E! News also shared other information JP revealed on social media. Everyday tasks are not easy for JP right now. He said, “Things you do every day, like picking up this phone, or buttoning buttons, tying shoelaces, putting on deodorant, just can’t do it. Picking up my kids, can’t do it. Wiping your ass, maybe TMI, but might have Ashley assist on the next one.”
