In recent news, popular Drag Race contestant Veronica Green has made the brave announcement that she has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. For those who may not be familiar, Veronica rose to fame on the second and third seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race UK as a fierce competitor and fan favorite. In 2020, she had to leave the show early due to contracting Covid, but was invited back the following year to continue her journey.
Unfortunately, Veronica's return was cut short as she was eliminated in the third week and placed ninth, losing a lip sync to Vanity Milan. Now, after a few years, she has revealed that she is facing a devastating health condition that has affected her ability to use her hands. In a heartfelt Instagram post, she shared that she has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and has been dealing with a lot of neuropathic pain in her hands.
According to Veronica, her health took a turn for the worse over the summer and she experienced numbness and loss of use in her hands. After multiple tests and scans, she finally received her diagnosis. Although she has regained her fine motor skills, the damage to her body is permanent and she is now facing the reality of living with a progressive disease with no cure.
Veronica is determined to stay positive and continue doing what she loves – singing and dancing. She acknowledges that there is no way of knowing how the disease will progress, but she is taking every step possible to keep it at bay and prolong the time between attacks. However, the reality is that she may need a cane in five years and a wheelchair in ten. Despite this, she remains hopeful and is determined to document her journey and raise awareness about multiple sclerosis.
Her post was met with an outpouring of love and support from friends and fans, including fellow Drag Race UK stars Elektra Fence and Danny Beard. Scarlett Harlett also shared a heartfelt message, reminding Veronica that she is an icon and MS will not change that. It's clear that Veronica has a strong support system, and she is grateful for all the love and support she has received.
For those who may not be familiar with multiple sclerosis, it is a condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. Some of the most common symptoms include fatigue, vision problems, numbness or tingling in different parts of the body, and muscle cramps and stiffness. Although there is no cure, there are treatments available to help manage the symptoms.
Veronica's journey on Drag Race has not been an easy one. In addition to her battle with multiple sclerosis, she was also forced to leave the show due to contracting Covid in 2020. She described it as "utterly devastating" and the following year was a struggle as she faced cancelled gigs and a loss of income. However, with the help of her loved ones, she was able to get through it and is now in a much better place.
As Veronica continues to share her story and raise awareness about multiple sclerosis, she hopes to inspire others and show that there is always hope. Her positivity and determination are truly admirable, and her story serves as a reminder to never give up, no matter what challenges we may face. Wishing Veronica all the best on her journey.
