Following concerns over his performances, Justin Timberlake revealed his “debilitating” health battle in a post on Instagram about having been diagnosed with Lyme disease.

Following Justin Timberlake’s Lyme disease diagnosis, the Mirror has tonight outlined the key symptoms of the bacterial infection.

Spread to humans by infected ticks, Lyme disease causes tiredness, aches and loss of energy, which can last for years. Justin, 44, told his fans about his diagnosis on Instagram on Thursday following the completion of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour. The singer said he wanted to “shed some light on what I’ve been up against behind the scenes” during his tour, which began in Vancouver, Canada in April last year and ended in Istanbul, Turkey this week.

“As I’m reflecting on the tour and festival tour — I want to tell you a little bit about what’s going on with me. Among other things, I’ve been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease — which I don’t say so you feel bad for me — but to shed some light on what I’ve been up against behind the scenes,” the Mirrors singer said on Instagram. It comes after the NHS warns mouth symptom could be life-shortening disease.

The Mirror has highlighted the plights of people diagnosed with Lyme disease in recent years. Lorraine Damonte, who was battling the crippling disease, had to endure her children screaming “I don’t want to die, I don’t want to be like you” after they contracted the infection too. Lorraine, from Sevenoaks, Kent, fought the vile bacterial illness for almost ten years and at one point thought she was going to die.

The mother reported nausea, joint pain, and fatigue, which were all symptoms that were telling. Justin, who has won ten Grammy Awards, made no known signs of experiencing symptoms in his full Instagram post, which included “crazy fatigue or sickness” and “joint pain.” The Memphis, Tennessee native stated to fans that despite the challenges, he was determined to carry on his tour.

The NHS lists joint pain as a common Lyme disease symptom. However, it adds a circular or oval shape rash around a tick bite is the most common early symptom. The full list, as published on its website, reads;

• A tick bite may cause a circular or oval rash.

• a high temperature, or a hot, shivery sensation

• joint and muscle pain

• fatigue and energy loss

The UK’s high-risk areas include grassy and wooded areas in southern England and the Scottish Highlands, where ticks that may cause Lyme disease can be found everywhere. The doctor will inquire about your symptoms and take into account any rash or recent tick bites if you believe you may have Lyme disease.

However, it’s challenging to identify Lyme disease. There are similar signs to those for other conditions, and the rash is not always obvious. Although there are two different blood tests that can confirm or reject Lyme disease, these tests are not always reliable in the disease’s early stages.

The release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day in 2014 is expected, and filming for the likes of Zendaya will reportedly be on hold in Glasgow starting tomorrow.

The upcoming Spider-Man sequel is reportedly set to begin filming in the UK later this week. The likes of Tom Holland and co-star Zendaya expected to be on location for the production, which has seen a city transformed into another.

The sequel to Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is scheduled to debut on July 31 of next year. Tom, 29, will play Peter Parker, who goes by the name of the titular superhero, in his fourth solo movie.

It was previously announced that Glasgow would be used as a location for the film. It’s now been reported that filming will begin in the city, which will appear as New York, later this week. The news comes amid the Devil Wears Prada sequel having begun filming in the actual New York City.

Glasgow’s photos show the production having transformed the city into New York City. Flags, roadworks, and street signs are among the items introduced along with international vehicles that have also been spotted in the area.

The Sun reports that it was originally due to be filmed in Liverpool. It however claims that it was later decided to relocate the production after the Liverpool FC victory parade crash in May that left more than 100 people injured.

Production has “started,” according to a source who informed the publication, adding that “for Glasgow residents who will see their city in the next movie, it’s really exciting.” They claimed that the city’s current resemblance to the Big Apple is “uncanny.”

The source continued, “Originally, the plan was to film a lot of it in Liverpool, but they changed the plans after the crash.” In light of the terrible incident, there were discussions about whether staging big stunts like car chases and explosions was appropriate.

According to the Herald, filming on Spider-Man: Brand New Day is due to begin in the city tomorrow. It reports that a number of roads in Glasgow are due to be closed off to accommodate the production between August 1 and 16.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be filmed in Glasgow, according to Tom’s earlier confirmation. After working exclusively on soundstages for the final Spider-Man movie, he also expressed her joy over the opportunity to shoot on location once more.

In an interview for news outlet Flip Your Wig, shared on Instagram earlier this month, Tom said: “We were really restricted with what we could do in the last movie because of COVID.” He said that the “entire” film had been shot on stages.

He continued, “We’re really going to lean into that old-fashioned filmmaking and shoot in actual locations, which is why we’re starting in Glasgow. This enormous set piece that we’re putting together will be a huge hit on the streets of Glasgow.

In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Tom will play the role of Michelle Jones-Watson, also known as MJ, alongside his fiancee Zendaya. In the movie, Jacob Batalon is expected to reprise his role as Ned Leeds.

Adam Collard, a former Love Island star, has acknowledged that his past “love rat” behaviors contributed to “bad karma” in his relationship with former sports presenter Laura Woods.

Adam Collard has revealed he blames his past actions for fiancee Laura Woods having a miscarriage. The former Love Island star admitted he believes his previous “love rat” persona brought “bad karma” on the pair.

The Geordie star, 29, confessed he believes his dating show antics on the likes of the ITV show – where he appeared twice – and Celebs Go Dating brought negative energy onto his current relationship. The gym owner is set to be put through his paces on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, taking part in a series of gruelling physical challenges.

Father-of-one Adam shared his thoughts during a new series interview. He addressed the audience by saying, “I know it’s a terrible way to look at it, but I thought it was bad karma for me to be on too many people’s dating shows.”

I thought that was some kind of high power saying, “Well, there you go, that’s what you have to carry.” I was just a cocky little p***k, jumping from girl to girl like a rat in love. I want to admonish the fact that I’m no longer that man.

The fitness enthusiast explained that it was the mental exam he desired when he explained why he had chosen to compete on the endurance show. Before I started Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, “he said,” I was busy. And let’s be honest, I think the show did the most for my mental health, and I think it did.

In October of this year, Adam and Laura began dating. They gave birth to their son Leo in April of that year and announced they were expecting their first child the following year.

The pair’s followers have been kept informed about their families’ lives, and Adam recently posted a sincere message on his social media account. He wrote at the time, “This is my life’s toughest year, 2024.”

He went on: “I’ve seen lot of amazing 2024 posts over the last few days… but if you’re struggling right now, remember that Instagram is a highlights reel, and if you’re struggling you aren’t alone.

“Struggled more than ever with my mental health. Lost a significant object. injured and slowed. Despite having an addiction to sleeping pills and painkillers, he defended it by claiming that it didn’t harm fitness or that it wasn’t booze.

“Began to be depressed.” anti-depressants that are prescribed. family gone. from a few friends who were dragged. I attempted to contact people, but I was unsuccessful. I felt defeated.

He acknowledged that his son and relationship were two things that made him optimistic. Laura gushed in response at the time. “Proud of you,” you say in the comments section. You’re going to be the most amazing father x.

Kate Price has updated her pets, revealing that her cat, Doris, is pregnant weeks after Peta criticized the former model for how many animals perish in her care.

Katie Price offered fans an update on her cat’s pregnancy and admits she’s “scared” of what might happen. The former glamour model, 47, shared news of pet Doris’ pregnancy on her podcast alongside sister Sophie.

The update came just weeks after the mum-of-five was scolded by PETA for her treatment of one of her pets. She was accused of “sunburning” one of her Sphynx cats, Kevin. And she has been branded a “serial killer” by the charity over the deaths of at least eight of her animals.

However, Katie stated in her most recent post: “Doris is pregnant, and I’m not sure how many weeks she’s been,” but her belly has grown bigger and bigger. She’s been nesting, and she’s persistently enticing to get on me.

I’ve ordered additional bed, separate cat litter, and everything else. Because I have the other cats and worry that if she goes into labor, she might eat the kittens, so I’m going to put it up in my room and leave it there.

She continued, “I’m setting her up in a nice little corner of my bedroom with her own cat litter and her own little bed. I’ll give her separate and let her chill out here so she can sleep there.” So, if she does go into labor, I can hear it, comfort her, and just offer my support.

“I know the kids want me to keep one, but I don’t know how many she’ll have.” And then I realize I can’t, despite what I’m like.

Elisa Allen of Peta’s claimed the former model has repeatedly disregarded advice regarding pet care. For all she seems to care, she said, “Anyone who warns Katie not to harm the animals she takes in might as well be screaming into the wind.”

And then Elisa continued, “Her cat is sunburnt, which she was probably warned about when she inherited a gimmick cat, bred to look odd and be hairless,” while referring to the alleged cat’s sunburn.

Cats with “light or no fur can easily burn easily,” according to Peta, which is one reason to confine them indoors. If they do enter a private garden, they should apply vet-approved sunscreen and provide plenty of shade. If redness, swelling, or other signs of infection occur in your cat, your veterinarians must be on the lookout for them.

In a recent social media post, Katie had claimed her cat had “been in the sun.” She shook the cat in the video, saying, “Oh Kevin, you have sunburned despite us applying sun cream to you.”

It was said in the caption of the video, “It’s difficult to keep the cats from the sun.”

In an effort to prevent Katie from having animals, Peta had previously requested an injunction. Following numerous tragic deaths, the star received a further £5, 000 to ensure that no more animals would ever be acquired.
