In August, the couple opened up about J.D.’s mysterious illness on his Instagram account, posting a lengthy video sharing the details of his struggle over the past 14 months, which included extreme sensitivity to temperatures over 70 degrees and having to stay in bed for days.
J.D. told PEOPLE in July that he had experienced heart attack symptoms after coming home from his brotherDrew’s wedding to Linda Phan in May, which soon led to even worse symptoms that he said were similar to dementia.
“[It was] simply the worst I had ever felt along with this overwhelming sense of something terrible was about to happen,” he said at the time, noting that no doctors could figure out the cause of his symptoms.
“There has been a rheumatologist, a radiologist, three neurologists, a neurosurgeon, an ophthalmologist, countless vials of blood, a half dozen MRI’s, an MRA, an EEG, and during one blood draw they took 25 vials on that day alone,” he said. “I would pass out pretty much wherever I was and it didn’t matter if I was in public, at dinner or at home, once it started I would be down and out for hours, if not days. There were many moments that felt like the end of the line.”
In July,J.D. shared a heartfelt love letter to his then-fiancé on Instagram, praising her for all that she’s done during his illness.
“I see you. Tired and anxious but determined. . .The countless errands you run for us when I can’t… The moments when you cry on the floor of your closet because you feel like you aren’t doing enough. The times you walk quietly to let me sleep as you know it is so hard for me to reach.”
