Justin Bieber reveals battle with Lyme disease and chronic mononucleosis

First Published:

Justin Bieber has revealed that he has been diagnosed with Lyme disease.

In a post on his Instagram account, the 25-year-old singer says that while some people have been criticizing his looks and accusing him of being on meth, he has actually been battling Lyme disease.

Bieber also says he recently had a serious case of chronic mononucleosis, which affected his “skin, brain function, energy, and overall health.”
