Back in 2014 while globetrotting for her “The Avril Lavigne Tour,” Avril Lavigne found herself struggling to get out of bed and feeling constant fatigue, making it difficult to put on the best show for her fans. That’s when she decided to seek medical advice and eventually learned she’d contracted Lyme disease. In a case of worlds colliding you probably weren’t expecting, Lavigne reached out to none other than former “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star (and mom to Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid) Yolanda Hadid, who had been publicly dealing with Lyme disease for several years. Yolanda recommended a specialist to Lavigne to help her get the best treatment possible — but Lavigne’s experience was far from over. “I was in bed for f*****g two years,” Lavigne told Billboard in 2018, explaining it took her body a while to start responding to the medication she was taking because the infection can morph inside the body. “It went undiagnosed for so long that I was kind of f****d,” she shared.

Lavigne also emotionally opened up about her experience to “Good Morning America” that year, sharing that she had been misdiagnosed multiple times before learning what was really causing her so much distress. Thankfully, after being correctly diagnosed, she shared, “I’m doing a lot better, seeing a lot of progress but the thing that’s good for me to know, I’m just really grateful to know that I will make a full recovery.”
