Last month, Jameson said she was at home and in bed, but doing her best to improve aftera month-long hospital stayand amisdiagnosis of Guillain-Barré.
“I am slowly but surely building back strength,” she said on her Instagram Story. “I am walking around — with a walker. My legs have lost a lot of muscle so I am busy trying to build it back. This has been not only physically taxing but I think, more than that, just really mentally challenging. Very mentally challenging.”

“As you can see, yes, I’m able to move my legs. I’m not paralyzed,” she said. “I am just dealing with extreme muscle weakness. Some issues with my left nerve.”
She later added that the issue is in her left femoral nerve, which runs from the hip down to just above the knee and controls the surrounding muscles.
Jameson, who lives in Hawaii with her partnerLior Bittonand their 4-year-old daughter Batel Lu, said that the recovery process is “messy, it’s not fun. But I like a good challenge.”
“I am fighting, I am kicking a–, I am taking names and soon I will be back up on my feet unaided, and life will be back to normal. I mean, as normal as I can be,” she added, with a laugh.
