Jenna Jameson is in the hospital and unable to walk after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Over the weekend, Jameson’s partner, Lior Bitton — with whom she shares 4-year-old daughter Batel Lu — revealed on Instagram that she was in the hospital undergoing tests after “not feeling so good.”
The ex-porn star had been throwing up for two weeks before going to the hospital last week, only to be sent home, Bitton explained.
“Then she came back home and she couldn’t carry herself,” Bitton said in a video on Saturday. “Her muscles in her legs were very weak. So she wasn’t able to walk to the bathroom. She was falling on the way back or to the bathroom, I would have to pick her up and carry her to bed. And then within two days, it got really not so good, her legs started to not hold her, she wasn’t able to walk.”
The Israeli businessman took Jameson back to a hospital, where more testing occurred and it was determined that she was suffering from Guillain-Barré syndrome.
According to the CDC, it is a “rare, autoimmune disorder in which a person’s own immune system damages the nerves, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis.” The symptoms can last from weeks to several years. Most fully recover but some have permanent nerve damage.
In an Instagram Story, Bitton announced that Jameson was being given a high dose of immunoglobulin therapy.

“She’s doing physical therapy to try and stand on her legs, but at the moment she cannot stand on her legs. They’re starting the treatment so they’ll see how it goes. So keep praying.”
On Monday, Jameson posted a video confirming her diagnosis, thanking fans for their good wishes before writing: “I did NOT get the jab or any jab. This is NOT a reaction to the jab. Thank you for your concern.” (Jameson has previously espoused anti-vaccine views on her social media.)

Jenna Jameson remains hospitalized, but doctors have ruled out Guillain-Barré syndrome.
The former Playboy model’s partner, Lior Bitton, provided her fans with an update on Tuesday about her ongoing mystery health battle.
“Jenna is still in the hospital. She doesn’t have the Guillain-Barré syndrome,” Bitton said in a video posted on Jameson’s Instagram.
“It was confirmed by the doctor after a second test and five rounds of IVIG [a therapy treatment for patients with antibody deficiencies]. So, she does not have the Guillain-Barré. … We’ll keep you posted soon.”
Last week, Bitton revealed that Jameson, 47, had lost the ability to walk after two weeks of “throwing up.”
The Israeli businessman took the former porn star to the hospital, where she underwent more testing and doctors initially determined she was suffering from Guillain-Barré.
According to the CDC, Guillain-Barré is a “rare, autoimmune disorder in which a person’s own immune system damages the nerves, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis.” Symptoms can last from weeks to several years. Most people fully recover, but some have permanent nerve damage.
Although Bitton revealed the doctors since have reversed that diagnosis, it remains unclear what is plaguing Jameson.

“Update on Jenna. Her legs thinning down. She can’t walk can’t stand up and She doesn’t get any better with the IVIG treatment and vitamins. After they suspected that it’s guillain barre syndrome now they having the run more test cuz they are not sure,” Bitton wrote on Jan. 12.
Jameson, who shares 4-year-old daughter Batel with Bitton, hasn’t spoken out since she first revealed she was very ill.
