Jenelle’s posts were grabbed by critics and posted to Reddit where she was slammed for giving a little more information than some deemed necessary.
The original post read: “I went through a whole divorce without ever making a post about it on my social media.
“Why do some people share every detail of their daily life online with strangers?”
The hater continued: “Is it because they are lonely and have no one to talk to in person?”
Others accused her of overreacting, with one person writing: “What in the hypochondria? If she don’t put on sunscreen and leave us alone.”
“She literally just has a heat rash. wtf,” another commented.
A fourth critic commented: “Who cares, Jenelle.”
A somewhat sympathetic commenter wrote: “I get rashes from sun exposure, mostly in spring but the summer as well. It’s called polymorphous light eruption.”
They went on: “It’s not a big deal, just annoying af. Jenelle needs to chill.”
IN PAIN?
Jenelle has been openly broadcasting her health struggles for some time now.
Months ago, she revealed she was suffering from cysts on her spine, alleging that she was told she would be paralyzed one day and is struggling in pain.
said she was “in shock” after her doctors diagnosed her with a “rare” spinal disorder called syringomyelia.
Syringomyelia is the development of a cyst (called a syrinx) within the spinal cord, which causes pain and weakness and, in some, cases can lead to paralysis.
Symptoms include headaches, neck pain, arm and back pain, loss of reflexes, and muscle weakness and wasting.
She went a little more in depth on her condition in a YouTube vlog called “My Neck, My Back.”
Jenelle said she had been battling daily headaches and dealing with her neck “cracking 10 times a day.”
She said she had been having tests done for months and not getting any answers, which she described as “really frustrating.”
Jenelle – who is married to David Eason – had an MRI, which revealed a cyst in her spine.
Since sharing that news, she has taken heat from fans any time she appears too well.
She recently faced backlash from haters for twerking in a TikTok video.
Jenelle shook and shimmied in pink sweat pants and a white crop top.
The former reality star wore her curly hair down her back with a small portion in a ponytail on top of her head.
She occasionally mouthed the words to the song that played over the clip.
Jenelle captioned the post: “Dancing my way through life like..”
There were several critics in the comments.
One hater commented: “Well thats embarrassing.”
The former Teen Mom star hit back: “Your content is embarrassing, oh wait you don’t have any.”
Other critics commented “yikes” and “I thought you had all these injuries.”
CHECK UP
Weeks ago Jenelle revealed even more potential health issues.
She shared some scary news in a TikTok video posted in response to a fan.
The controversial star was asked: “Hey sweetheart are you feeling better with your hemangiomas & cysts? Were you able to get help? Praying for you!”
Sitting with a worried look on her face, Jenelle responded.
“So, yeah, about that. Let me tell you guys a little health update and sorry you’re going through the same thing.
“I got a second opinion from a different neurologist and she’s going to be checking me for ALS.
“Since she has told me this, yes, I’ve been freaking out in my head a lot. I’ve been crying a lot.
“I’ve been crying, like, every single night by myself.
“But we’re redoing all my bloodwork, we’re redoing my nerve study. I have to go get another nerve study done next week because that checks for more diseases.”
She went on: “She referred me to a neurosurgeon about the cyst in my head and the cyst in my spine so we’re going to check that out in March.
“She’s also having me go to a lung doctor because I have a hard time breathing and catching my breath and I’m not sick.
“Since I have cysts popping up everywhere, my doctor wants to check my lungs to see if there’s cyst there too. My hands are really shaky and my thumb grip is almost completely gone on my left hand.”
Jenelle concluded: “Hopefully I’ll get answers soon.”
Fans flocked to the comments with some wishing the North Carolina native well, some suggesting other potential diagnosis’, and others slamming the ex MTV star.
One commenter wrote: “Please have them check you for Lyme Disease!! It can often be misdiagnosed with ALS and it’s completely treatable!! Sending Prayers for you!!”
Jenelle responded: “Thanks for the support and prayers.”
Another wrote: “Have you been tested for MS?”
The ex TV star again replied, saying: “Yes I have been tested and I don’t have that either.”
A third fan asked: “Yikes! Why do they suspect ALS? Thats scary! Praying for you!”
Jenelle revealed: “My stomach feels like I’ve been doing ab crunches while sitting.”
Another chimed in: “I pray more than anything in the world you do not have ALS, my dad passed from that in 2014, I wouldn’t wish it upon my worse enemy.”
Jenelle responded: “Me too! I hope I get good answers. I would have to prepare a lot in my life and it’s heartbreaking to think about. I’m sorry about your dad.”
On Reddit, however, fans were far less kind as one user posted Jenelle’s video, writing: “You do not have ALS.”
Another wrote: “Can someone please make a power point presentation of all the illnesses and symptoms she’s claimed over the years
“This is important work.”
Someone else added: “Lord, the hypochondria.”
