Nollywood actress, Ufuoma McDermott, has said that last year was so tough for her health-wise that she thought she was going to die.
According to her, he has been battling with a kidney issue for 12 years and the situation was particularly terrible in 2023.
She revealed the devastating consequences of unchecked chronic pain and medication overuse.
In a conversation with Chude Jideonwo, McDermott shared how the loss of her younger brother to kidney disease sparked her own health struggles.
She said despite initial Stage 3 diagnosis, delayed intervention escalated her condition to Stage 4.
McDermott attributed her kidney disease to years of ingesting excessive painkillers.
She said in part: “I had pushed my body and I was borderline stage 4. Last year was a very very trying time in my life where I thought I was gonna die. I have battled chronic kidney disease for about 12 years now.”
