Mexican presenter Yolanda Andrade has been very active on social media in recent days, after speculation arose that her sister had 'kidnapped' her.

In the first of her videos, she was seen celebrating with her family which could be her last Christmas, as she herself indicated in her video, while in a second video she opened up like never before about the illness that afflicts her. While she has always referred to her condition as an incurable and degenerative disease, on this occasion she went into detail about what is happening to her. She explained that she suffers from, among other things, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a condition that has completely changed her life and led her to think about death. “These have been very difficult days since I was diagnosed with ALS and a few other things. It has been a very tough year for me, for my family and my loved ones,” shared Montserrat Oliver's inseparable companion. In another part of her video, she spoke candidly about the reasons that led her to speak openly about her medical condition, as she wants to reach those who are going through a similar situation. “Perhaps they “This video might seem strange, but I wanted to share it because there are many people I now know who have this degenerative disease,” the actress continued. She then went into detail about some of the symptoms she experiences frequently, which have prevented her from living a normal life. “Sometimes you’re fine, sometimes you’re not, you can’t move, open your eyes, walk, talk, you have chronic fatigue. There are many things, but I want to thank everyone who sends me good wishes,” the TV host confided, receiving words of encouragement from her fans and celebrity friends. “My dearest Yola, you are a tireless warrior. I admire you so much and I love you even more!! I send you all my love and good vibes and hope you get better so you can keep moving forward and fighting. Kisses and blessings, my friend! ??????,” Sebastian Rulli told her.While Omar Chaparro dedicated a message to her: “We love you very much, Yolanda, you are very strong and special, we hug you and pray for you ??????” and Consuelo Duval said: “Don't give up, mama!! The power of God is unimaginable ?.”

What is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis?

According to the Mayo Clinic, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a disease of the nervous system that worsens over time and affects the neurons in the brain and spinal cord.

This condition, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, begins with muscle spasms and weakness in an arm or leg, difficulty swallowing, or difficulty speaking.

Over time, it affects the control of muscles for moving, speaking, eating, and breathing, and there is no cure, as Yolanda Andrade herself has pointed out.
