Toni Braxton opened up about her her long road to getting a lupus diagnosis
Toni Braxton opened up about the long road to getting a lupus diagnosis, and why she didn’t initially go public about the autoimmune disease.
Braxton revealed that she was told from her management to “hide” that she had lupus, which The Mayo Clinic defines as “a disease that occurs when your body’s immune system attacks its own tissues and organs.” Braxton confessed she went 10 years without getting an official diagnosis for lupus. Braxton initially thought her symptoms — which included “elevated blood pressure” and “pain throughout body” — stemmed from “being a new mom.” Toni Braxton performs onstage at State Farm Arena on March 09, 2024.
Braxton recalled her mental health taking a dip, saying, “We never talk about mental health. It definitely affected it. I had chronic anxiety. … It got worse.”
