So what맥스카지노�s going on with Lee, and how is her health now? Here맥스카지노�s what she맥스카지노�s shared.What happened to Suni Lee?In 2023, Lee shared in an interview with SELF that she was recently diagnosed with incurable kidney disease. The gymnast said she had to finish her gymnastics season at Auburn early due to her diagnosis and put her training on pause for six months. About a month after she first developed symptoms, she stopped training entirely, left Auburn, and moved back home. 맥스카지노�I was just rotting in my bed,맥스카지노� she told Sports Illustrated. 맥스카지노�I couldn맥스카지노�t talk to anybody. I didn맥스카지노�t leave the house.맥스카지노�What is incurable kidney disease? Lee didn맥스카지노�t share an exact diagnosis with the public, but she did reveal that her condition has no cure. Her medical team also thinks her diagnosis may change as they learn more about what맥스카지노�s happening with her health, SELF reports. The magazine also notes that her condition isn맥스카지노�t common.Her doctors later realized that Lee had two forms of kidney disease, according to Sports Illustrated.How do you stop kidney disease from getting worse? There are two main causes of kidney disease, according to the American Diabetes Association 맥스카지노� diabetes and high blood pressure. With that, there are a few things that many people with kidney disease can do to stop the progression of the condition. That includes managing your blood pressure, monitoring your blood glucose, eating a kidney-friendly diet, exercising regularly, and being cautious about taking OTC medications and supplements. Lee first experienced symptoms in February 2023.Lee shared that she first developed symptoms when she woke up one morning with swollen ankles, which she originally thought was due to her intense training. But her entire body was swollen the next morning, including her face, legs, and hands.Her doctors originally thought Lee was having an allergic reaction, but the swelling didn맥스카지노�t go down. 맥스카지노�I just kept getting more swollen맥스카지노�and I think I gained, like, 40 pounds,맥스카지노� Lee said. "It affected my whole body and how I looked and how I was feeling."After Lee told her doctor that she was having trouble urinating, she underwent more tests and eventually had a biopsy of her kidneys. That led to her diagnosis. She thought she might never be able to do gymnastics again.Lee said that she was understandably scared while doctors tried to work out a diagnosis. When she tried to train, she found that she couldn맥스카지노�t perform the way she normally did. 맥스카지노�I kept peeling off the bar. I couldn맥스카지노�t hold on,맥스카지노� Lee said. 맥스카지노�My fingers were so swollen, and I couldn맥스카지노�t even do a normal kip cast to handstand on bars.맥스카지노�She remembered thinking, 맥스카지노�What if I맥스카지노�m never allowed to do gymnastics again or I can never make it to the Olympics again?맥스카지노� She맥스카지노�s on the mend and is 'excited' to get back out there.Lee nabbed a bronze medal on beam at the 2023 U.S. Championships, but declined an invitation to the world team selection camp in 2023 a few weeks later, per NBC Sports. 맥스카지노�I think my lowest point was after championships,맥스카지노� Lee told the outlet at the Team USA media summit. 맥스카지노�I don't know. I pulled out of the world championship selection camp and I stopped doing gymnastics for four months.맥스카지노� But things started to turn around for Lee in January 2024, when she got a phone call that changed everything. 맥스카지노�It was just, like, a simple phone call,맥스카지노� she told NBC Olympics. 맥스카지노�I can맥스카지노�t really talk about it, but it was a simple phone call. And I was like, 맥스카지노�Oh my gosh, I'm going to the gym tomorrow and I'm gonna be better than I ever was.맥스카지노� And that was the day I was like, 맥스카지노�Yep, this is what I want. And I'm gonna put my mind into it.맥스카지노�" 맥스카지노�That맥스카지노�s when she started saying, 맥스카지노�I think they맥스카지노�re getting a handle on it,맥스카지노�맥스카지노�맥스카지노� her trainer Jess Graba told Sports Illustrated. Lee is now on medication to help control her conditions, and they're now in remission. 맥스카지노�We have it under control now,맥스카지노� she told CBS News at a Team USA media summit. 맥스카지노�We know what to do and the right medication to take.맥스카지노�Lee knows that this is uncharted territory for her 맥스카지노� and for her training team. 맥스카지노�My coaches have never had to deal with someone who has had two kidney diseases,맥스카지노� she told NBC Olympics at the Team USA media summit. 맥스카지노�And obviously, I'm like, 맥스카지노�Okay, I don't know any other gymnasts that have two kidney diseases that have had to go through this.맥스카지노� So it's all a learning process. And we're taking it day by day.맥스카지노� But she맥스카지노�s also optimistic about the future. 맥스카지노�This comeback was so much more than my return to elite gymnastics,맥스카지노� she wrote on Instagram last year. 맥스카지노�It was me proving to myself that I can overcome hard things, and to hopefully inspire others to never let life맥스카지노�s setbacks stop you from going after your dreams.맥스카지노� Lee told Women맥스카지노�s Health at the Team USA Media Summit that she맥스카지노�s focused on her training and is doing "everything possible" to make the Paris team.맥스카지노�It feels really good to be able to just go out and to wake up in the morning and be able to go to practice,맥스카지노� she said. 맥스카지노�My doctor told me that we would never thought that I would be here, so it feels really good to be able to be doing gymnastics.맥스카지노�
