Nollywood actress, Ufoma McDermott, has narrated how her battle with kidney disease was traced to long term painkillers abuse.
The actress made this known during her latest interview with
popular media personality, Chude Jideonwo.
Speaking on her 12-year battle with kidney disease, the
actress advised the general public to prioritise their health.
While revealing that her condition was a side effect of long-term painkiller abuse, McDermott said; “I really wish everyone would understand the importance of health. My brother was diagnosed late on stage 4 of kidney disease and he goes straight into dialysis and has complications.
“I was diagnosed earlier, so I have lived on medication for
almost 12 years now. When my brother I ran to my cardiologist. My parents were
scared, thinking if this is genetic? We had to trace the kidney disease and we
learned it was from drug abuse.
“I grew up with migraines, headaches and eyeaches, and I
never wore my glasses because they made me look like a geek. I’d take
painkillers for my migraine. I took strong painkillers and not the ordinary
painkillers because I wanted the pain to go away.”
