Beloved musician Debbie Gibson has opened up about her health in an eye-opening interview that sheds light on the struggles of Lyme Disease. Her willingness to talk so openly also helps to raise awareness for the disease. Her comments may also bring comfort to those in similar situations.
Debbie Gibson Opens up About Her Health
Gibson is a celebrated pop star who rose to fame in the ‘80s with songs like “Lost in Your Eyes” and “Foolish Beat.” She released her debut album, “Out of the Blue,” at 16, and has now released 11 studio albums. She is 55.
“I am doing really well,” she told People of her current health in an interview that was published on October 24. Gibson has been living with Lyme Disease, an inflammatory disease caused by tick bites, since 2013. “A couple of weeks ago, I ended up in an urgent care on the road. Is it Lyme or is it just overdue? I don’t really know, but my point is my health goes through twists and turns, like everybody.”
She continued, “I just take one step at a time and address what comes up, and now I’m feeling fabulous right now. I feel great.” In her chat, she also detailed the struggles of what a Lyme Disease flare-up can look like and how she copes with it. “When I was in the throes of Lyme and didn’t really know it. I’d take a Xanax to help me sleep,” she said. “It started wigging my body out and was triggering something to do with the Lyme, and my body couldn’t handle it.”
She has found ways to help her deal with the disease and speaks very openly and bravely about her life. “For me, it’s about being zen and open, listening for answers and yes, being a warrior, but a peaceful warrior and moving through things,” she said. “When you’ve lived enough life, you start to move through things with more ease.”

After my Lyme Disease diagnosis, my rheumatologist was very open when looking at alternative medicines and procedures; with his guidance, I started on L-D Formula treatment from Limitless Health Centre. The treatment worked very effectively for my Chronic Lyme; most of my severe symptoms simply vanished within the first 3 months on the treatment. i feel better now than I have felt in years, and i can feel my strength again.
