After suffering from severe migraines to the point of being unable to get up, Jehane shared via Instagram that she had been diagnosed with optic neuritis, a disease that causes inflammation of the optic nerve in the eye.
Jehane wrote: “I was diagnosed with optic neuritis a few months ago after almost 2 years of being told my migraines were stress related. They then thought I had multiple sclerosis, which has been ruled out (for now), but now the pressure in my head literally takes me off my feet.”
Jehane shared videos from the hospital
Jehane often shared videos from her hospital bed which caused her followers to worry about her. She wrote the following in her last TikTok video:
“I’m still waiting to go for surgery. The reason they didn’t do it last week was because having fluids in me would solve the problem. I can’t lift my head without wanting to get sick and I can’t walk, I need to be wheeled everywhere.”
Jehane’s friends set up a GoFundMe
After the surgery, Jehane was released from the hospital but had to return because the headaches came back. Her friend, Alyx Reast, started a GoFundMe campaign to cover her funeral expenses and help her two children.
