Lydia reveals the heartbreaking advice Milton gave her after she received health diagnosis
'To say fibromyalgia has ruined my life doesn't even come near'
Lydia has revealed the advice that Milton gave her after she received her fibromyalgia diagnosis during their three-year marriage. They’ve since split up since first meeting in the Love Is Blind pods, but she’s now spoken on the What’s The Reality? podcast to share her account.
Lydia talks about getting her health diagnosis
Lydia first received her fibromyalgia diagnosis, which causes widespread pain and fatigue, in September 2024. She said, “I got my diagnosis. It kind of felt like a relief, but at the same time, a life sentence. To say that fibromyalgia has ruined my life doesn’t even come near to it.”
“My biggest concern right now is my health. Tons of therapy, journalling, and doing things that make me happy. Dance it out for a while in a room where no-one is watching. I honour myself in being transparent and vulnerable. I have a great following,” Lydia said.
Milton gave her some unnecessary advice
Lydia revealed that Milton told her to “eat healthy and work out”. She said, “Instead of him being my support, he told me, ‘You’re not dying. You just have to eat healthy and work out.’ If it was that simple, nobody would suffer from fibromyalgia.”
She added, “I tried to get medical leave last year, and he was like, ‘F*** no.’ I’m like, ‘I have to do what’s best for me. I feel burned out, I need to figure out what works for me. It takes an average of a year to figure out the medication.’ And he would not budge.”
“I’m a content creator but I’m a part project geologist full-time,” she continued. “I fought him on it. He said it was more like, thinking about the financial aspect of it, but I’m like, I’m still doing content creation. At the time, it wasn’t like he was paying my bills.”
