What disease does Danielle Busby from OutDaughtered have?
Over the years, Danielle Busby has been open about the struggles of her autoimmune disease battle.
In a July 2023 interview with Us Weekly, she got candid about her experiences, revealing that she started to worry after her energy began decreasing.
“I used to not be able to get upstairs without feeling like I was gonna pass out,” the reality star told the outlet.
“That’s just not a norm for me. I was always athletic and kind of fit and we’ve always taken care of ourselves. So for my body to go so down, it just was alarming.”
Busby started noticing these changes after giving birth to her quintuplets- Ava, Olivia, Hazel, Riley, and Parker- in 2015.
“After I had [them], my body never kind of recovered because it was nonstop movement. I was living a life of adrenaline for years,” she continued.
“So when my body started to slow down and they were in school and kindergarten — and well, first grade really — my body wasn’t used to this. And so I went into this shock.”
Her doctors later “diagnosed” her with “migraines” and began treating her for “fibromyalgia,” however, she told Us Weekly that her condition is still in “discovery.”
What is fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia, also known as fibrositis, is a common disorder that causes chronic pain and tenderness throughout the body.

It affects an estimated 5million adults throughout the United States and can cause fatigue and trouble sleeping, according to the National Library of Medicine.
Those with lupus or rheumatoid arthritis are at a higher risk for fibromyalgia, but other things like stressful or traumatic events are also risk factors for the illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The CDC notes that women are twice as likely to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia as men.
At this time, there is no cure for fibromyalgia but it can be managed with medication and self-management strategies such as aerobic exercise and yoga.

How is Danielle Busby’s health now?
During Busby’s interview with Us Weekly, she explained that she has good days and bad days.
“It’s hard sometimes to even explain what I’m feeling or how my body is reacting to something even in the view of Adam because he’s like, ‘You look fine, you [were] fine yesterday,’” she said.
“It’s annoying, it’s frustrating and there’s days where I didn’t do anything extreme or off-set or something and [I] just will get up and I can’t move my hands and my feet and so … it’s an up and down journey.”
Despite the struggles, she revealed that she hadn’t had a migraine in “probably six months,” which is why her family decided to re-start OutDaughtered after a two-year hiatus.
“We just picked up right where we left off,” Busby’s husband, Adam Busby, said of the family’s TLC return.
“It felt like old times and it was cool just to see, like, the crew members that returned this past season, just because they’re like family to us.”
Season 9 of OutDaughtered can be watched live on TLC Tuesdays at 9pm EST.
