After extensive testing, the health conditions Jenna Jameson is currently experiencing in a Hawaiian hospital is reportedly Guillain-Barré syndrome, as Page Six reports. Via the CDC, Guillain-Barré syndrome occurs when a body's own immune system attacks nerves in the body, causing muscle weakness and paralysis, as Jameson is experiencing. According to the Mayo Clinic, the exact cause of the syndrome is unknown, although issues can arise following respiratory or digestive tract infections.
According to Bitton, Jameson had been vomiting "for two weeks" and reportedly sought treatment at a hospital but was sent home, reports Page Six. Ultimately though, when the couple returned home, the muscles in Jameson's legs were so weak she could no longer stand or walk properly, prompting the couple to return to the hospital for additional testing. This time, doctors were able to make a diagnosis, albeit a scary one.
Extremely rare occurrences of Guillain-Barré syndrome have been reportedly linked to the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, as the FDA reports, but Jenna Jameson confirmed on her social media that she has not received any kind of vaccination. Per the CDC, most recover from Guillain-Barré syndrome, although it is sometimes fatal and some live with permanent nerve pain. Jenna Jameson is being treated with a high dose of immunoglobulin. "She's doing physical therapy to try and stand on her legs, but at the moment she cannot stand on her legs. They're starting the treatment, so they'll see how it goes. So keep praying," according to her partner, Lior Bitton (via Page Six).
