On Jan. 10, Jameson shared a video from a hospital and gave her fans an update. "I'm in the hospital still. And we've gotten some answers. I'm dealing with a little syndrome called Guillain-Barré Syndrome, so I'm working through that," Jameson said.
At the time, Jameson, 47, explained in the caption that she "started my IVIG treatment" and shared that she "will likely remain [in the hospital] until treatment is complete. I hope to be out of here soon."
In a follow-up video, posted on Saturday, Bitton walked fans through the process of Jameson's illness. Bitton said that they made the decision to seek help from medical professionals after Jameson had persistent vomiting. The doctors sent her home, but Jameson became so ill that she could no longer walk. According to her partner, they made the decision to go back to the hospital, where she was admitted and has been ever since.
"So she wasn't able to walk to the bathroom. She was falling on the way back or to the bathroom, and then I would have to pick her up and take her to bed," Bitton noted in the video. "And then within two days it got really not so good. Her legs started to not hold her, she wasn't able to walk."
