In this week’s issue of People , Avril Lavigne opens up about her Lyme disease diagnosis, saying she was “bedridden for five months” because of the illness. The singer believes she was bitten by a tick last Spring, and she said there were times when she didn’t shower for a week because she “could barely stand.” She explained, “It felt like having all your life sucked out of you.” While recuperating, Avril said that fans’ support meant the world to her.
