KC Concepcion suffered from possible paralysis due to COVID-19
MANILA, Philippines — Actress KC Concepcion revealed that she suffered from a "possible paralysis" due to COVID-19.
In her Instagram account, KC shared on her IG story that COVID-19 had a neurological effect on her.
"I have my dearest doctor, the brilliant Dr. Albert Recio @harvardhopkinsmd to thank, for acting urgently, and arresting a possible paralysis the other day due to a neurological effect covid had on me. What I thought was a mild bout turned into something much more serious overnight," KC said.
"I felt a change in my motor skills and also knew it was hitting my brain. It's like nothing I’d ever experienced before. Doc urgently prescribed me the exact meds I needed at exactly the right time- and by anticipating the progress of covid in my body, he put me on the road to recovery,” she added.
The daughter of multi-awarded singer-actress Sharon Cuneta said that she’s slowly getting better.
"It's my 6th day today since first onset of symptoms and i am still weak but regaining strength slowly but surely! I am forever indebted to you doc for saving my life," she said.
In another post, KC posted an unfiltered photo of her saying she now appreciates life even more.
"This is me. Unfiltered. I appreciate LIFE even more now... You don't know how scared I was on Wednesday morning. I couldn't handle it without the meds... It's 5 am and I am up to drink my morning dose, and will go back to sleep so I can get better... and get this movie finished!!!" she said.
KC is hoping to get better soon so she can work for her Hollywood movie “Asian Persuasion.”
"I have 3 more shooting days to go for Asian Persuasion and I need a negative swab test and 10 more days before I am allowed my SAG to work again," she said.
"Stay SAFE everyone. This is not like the flu. It's a whole different animal. I evaded it for 3 years!!! But just like that it got me. From an asymptomatic person who unknowingly passed it on,” she added.
