Jorge Fernández talks about the disease that almost cost him his life: ''It took me two years to diagnose it''

The acclaimed Alicante presenter Jorge Fernández visited the set of Y Ahora, Sonsoles this afternoon to celebrate with the audience the 17th anniversary of his program, La Ruleta de laluck.

The space dedicated to entertainment that is broadcast daily on Antena 3 has been giving away 'great moments' to the audience for almost two decades, quite a feat in current television times. Happy and content, the communicator has been very grateful to the loyal public who does not miss the appointment every morning and who looks forward to the moment in which the three daily contestants face the famous roulette.

It is not just that the Atresmedia project has been broadcast uninterruptedly for more than 15 years, but that we are facing one of the most watched programs on the small screen in our country. Every day, Jorge Fernández leads the time slot before the news, which has become the worst nightmare for his competitors.

In reference to this, Ónega has acknowledged that she had a very bad time when she presented another space on Telecinco because she was competing directly with this great rival: ''Look, I'm going to tell it. Indeed, you have been my nightmare when I was on Telecinco. We competed and it was 'How much has Jorge and 'La roulette' done?''

After sharing a few moments of laughter and celebration, the guest opened up and shared with the audience the moment in which he suffered different very serious health problems due to which he began to lose weight quickly. ''The bite of a tick that I hadn't even realized, Lyme syndrome, a disease that can take you down,'' he expressed while explaining that it took two years for the doctors to diagnose the problem and that this caused him anxiety. , something that hurt him even more.

The presenter has taken advantage of the Atresmedia space to send a positive message and make it clear to all those who suffer from fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue (some of the most common consequences of Lyme disease) that they can work to improve the situation.

As a result of this long and tedious process of doctors, tests, nerves and tension, Fernández changed some habits in his life, since he also discovered that his diet had contributed to very high mercury levels.

''It took me two years to get back to being well,'' the presenter explained honestly. Today, men eat a balanced diet that helps them feel better and practice sports to take care of their body and mind.
