Kim Kardashian has been given the all-clear from her lupus scare after testing positive for lupus antibodies.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star had her medical worries aired on the TV series, after she was seen experiencing pain in her hands and arms.
Thankfully, while there’s no denying she has some series joint pain, the doctors said it was actually psoriatic arthritis, a type arthritis caused by psoriasis.
As a result, her joints are affected, causing them to become swollen, stiff and painful.
After the ultrasound on her hands, the doctor told her: ‘First of all, if you have any evidence for lupus, we would have screened it.
‘You do not have lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. So, you can be reassured. You probably have psoriatic arthritis because psoriasis comes and goes.
‘There’s nothing there right now.’
Kim’s relief was evident and she declared that she could handle a condition that comes and goes after fearing she could have had lupus – an autoimmune disease which attacks your healthy tissue.
She’s now on medication to help the ailment.
Speaking with ET Online about the issue, Kim explained: ‘When you do have a diagnosis — or you get tested for something and you get a result that you weren’t expecting — you definitely get in your head and for a second you kind of get this little depression of, like, “OK, what are all of the possibilities that can happen? What’s my life gonna look like?”
‘I really wanna be active for my kids, and so it triggers something.’
She then added: ‘No matter what’s going on in your life, you can take that time to grieve for a second… and then figure out how to be positive about it because it’s not going to change.
‘There’s no point in being depressed and staying in that head space, but I felt it for a minute.’
Keeping Up With the Kardashians airs on HayU in the UK.
