“At the beginning of the year, I went public with my struggle with Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome, which paralyzed part of my face. Because of this illness, I was unable to complete the North American leg of the Justice World Tour“Writes the singer, who was already in the news in June for the same reason. He had to cancel his concerts in June and part of July because this condition had paralyzed his face.

“After resting and seeing my doctors, family and team, I went to Europe to try to continue the tour. I did six concerts, but it weighed on me. Last weekend, I played at Rock in Rio and gave everything the Brazilian public had.

After leaving the stage, exhaustion got the better of me and i realized that i have to prioritize my health right now. So I’m going to take a break from my touring for the time being. I’m fine, but I need time to rest and improve,” he added, without giving more information on his possible return.

What is Justin Bieber’s Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome?

In June, when he canceled his tour for the first time, Justin Bieber announced that the disease had worsened although he did not say what disease it was.

Now Bieber refers to the Ramsay–Hunt syndrome, also known as herpes zoster oticus, a condition that occurs when an outbreak of shingles affects the facial nerve near one of the ears. “In addition to the painful shingles rash, Ramsay Hunt syndrome can cause facial paralysis and hearing loss in the affected ear,” explains the Mayo Clinic on its website.

According to this website, the syndrome “is a consequence of the same virus that causes chickenpox. After chickenpox is gone, the virus still lives in the nerves. Years later, it can be reactivated. When it does, it can affect your facial nerves.”

MedlinePlus specifies on its website that “the disorder mainly affects adults” and lists the following symptoms:

• Severe pain in the ear
• Painful rash on the eardrum, ear canal, earlobe, tongue, or palate on the side of the affected nerve.
• Hearing loss on one side
• Feeling that things are spinning (vertigo)
• Weakness on one side of the face resulting in difficulty closing one eye, eating (food falls on the side of the weak corner of the mouth), grimacing and fine facial movements, as well as drooping of the face and paralysis on one side of the face

Treatment is usually with powerful anti-inflammatories and it is also common to administer antivirals. The prognosis is very variable, depending on when the problem is detected and what the symptoms are: “If there is not much damage to the nerve, you should be completely healed in a few weeks. If the damage is more severe, you cannot fully recover even after several months.

“In general, the chances of recovery are better if treatment is started 3 days after the onset of symptoms. When treatment is started within this time frame, most people recover completely. If treatment is delayed for more than 3 days, there is less chance of complete recovery. Children are more likely to make a full recovery than adults,” says MedlinePlus.

Lyme disease, Justin Bieber’s other pathology

Justin Bieber faced another complicated diagnosis years ago when he suffered a bacterial infection caused by the tick bites, which he first spoke about in 2020.

“It has been two difficult years” He confessed on Instagram, where he revealed the reasons for his bad times. “While a lot of people keep saying that Bieber looks awful, that he uses meth, etc., what they don’t realize is that recently I was diagnosed with Lyme disease”.

This disease, also called Lyme borreliosis, It is an infection caused by certain bacteria of the genus Borrelia. It can affect the nervous system, skin, heart, joints and muscles. This disease is naturally transmitted to humans by infected animals, especially ticks. It is endemic in several states in the eastern and southwestern United States, as well as in some European countries.

It’s called Lyme disease after the city of Connecticut (USA)where in 1976 it was first described after the outbreak of an epidemic. Its most frequent symptom is the appearance of a erythema migrans. It is a target-like efflorescence on the skin, which originates where the tick bite occurs. Other symptoms are headache, fatigue and fever, as well as muscle and joint pain, swollen lymph nodes and chills.
