Lior Bitton Details Jenna Jameson's Neurological Disorder Debacle

Over the weekend, Bitton appeared in a video posted to Jameson's official Instagram page to explain her unexpected medical condition.

The doting husband recounted that his wife had thrown up for a few weeks. She visited a hospital for a CT scan and was cleared to leave.

Unfortunately, when Jameson returned home, she could not carry herself. The muscles in her legs weakened to the point where she could not walk to the bathroom.

The situation escalated further, as the father of their 4-year-old daughter Batel Lu said:

"She was falling on the way back or to the bathroom. I would have to pick her up and carry her to bed. And then within two days… Her legs started to not hold her—she wasn't able to walk."

Bitton shared that Jameson's doctors carried out "CT, MRI and Spinal Tap tests," and they were waiting to find out more about the uncommon situation so she could get better.

The "Sugar" author later updated the caption with confirmation that she has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). She thanked everyone for their support while she remained in the hospital.
