Read some reactions:
i actually agree with her because lyme disease can be horrible and chronic, but where the fuck was this energy when her and her husband's stans were commenting on selena's posts that lupus should've killed her. 💀 https://t.co/CrgOnNRPJE

chronic mono: (Infectious mononucleosis, colloquially referred to as “mono,” is a benign infection characterized by fever, swollen lymph nodes, and fatigue that may continue for weeks or months. Mono is also called glandular fever and, colloquially, the “kissing disease”).
Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is an infectious disease caused by the Borrelia bacterium which is spread by ticks(external parasites, living by feeding on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles and amphibians). The most common sign of infection is an expanding area of redness on the skin, known as erythema migrans, that appears at the site of the tick bite about a week after it occurred.
The rash is typically neither itchy nor painful. Approximately 70–80% of infected people develop a rash. Other early symptoms may include fever, headache, and tiredness. If untreated, symptoms may include loss of the ability to move one or both sides of the face, joint pains, severe headaches with neck stiffness, or heart palpitations, among others.
Justin Bieber married his sweetheart Hailey Bieber in a religious ceremony with family and friends in South Carolina in September 2019 after having a court wedding in 2018.
