What happened to Suni Lee?
In 2023, Lee shared in an interview with that she was recently diagnosed with incurable kidney disease. The gymnast said she had to finish her gymnastics season at Auburn early due to her diagnosis and put her training on pause for six months.
About a month after she first developed symptoms, she stopped training entirely, left Auburn, and moved back home.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I was just rotting in my bed,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she told . 바카라 게임 웹사이트I couldn바카라 게임 웹사이트t talk to anybody. I didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t leave the house.바카라 게임 웹사이트
What is incurable kidney disease?
Lee didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t share an exact diagnosis with the public, but she did reveal that her condition has no cure. Her medical team also thinks her diagnosis may change as they learn more about what바카라 게임 웹사이트s happening with her health, SELF reports. The magazine also notes that her condition isn바카라 게임 웹사이트t common.
Her doctors later realized that Lee had two forms of kidney disease, according to Sports Illustrated.
How do you stop kidney disease from getting worse?
There are two main causes of kidney disease, according to the 바카라 게임 웹사이트 diabetes and high blood pressure. With that, there are a few things that many people with kidney disease can do to stop the progression of the condition.
That includes managing your blood pressure, monitoring your blood glucose, eating a kidney-friendly diet, exercising regularly, and being cautious about taking OTC medications and supplements.
Lee first experienced symptoms in February 2023.
Lee shared that she first developed symptoms when she woke up one morning with swollen ankles, which she originally thought was due to her intense training. But her entire body was swollen the next morning, including her face, legs, and hands.
Her doctors originally thought Lee was having an allergic reaction, but the swelling didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t go down. 바카라 게임 웹사이트I just kept getting more swollen바카라 게임 웹사이트and I think I gained, like, 40 pounds,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Lee said. "It affected my whole body and how I looked and how I was feeling."
After Lee told her doctor that she was having trouble urinating, she underwent more tests and eventually had a biopsy of her kidneys. That led to her diagnosis.
She thought she might never be able to do gymnastics again.
Lee said that she was understandably scared while doctors tried to work out a diagnosis. When she tried to train, she found that she couldn바카라 게임 웹사이트t perform the way she normally did.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I kept peeling off the bar. I couldn바카라 게임 웹사이트t hold on,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Lee said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트My fingers were so swollen, and I couldn바카라 게임 웹사이트t even do a normal kip cast to handstand on bars.바카라 게임 웹사이트
She remembered thinking, 바카라 게임 웹사이트What if I바카라 게임 웹사이트m never allowed to do gymnastics again or I can never make it to the Olympics again?바카라 게임 웹사이트
She바카라 게임 웹사이트s on the mend and is 'excited' to get back out there.
Lee nabbed a bronze medal on beam at the 2023 U.S. Championships, but declined an invitation to the world team selection camp in 2023 a few weeks later, per .
바카라 게임 웹사이트I think my lowest point was after championships,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Lee told the at the Team USA media summit. 바카라 게임 웹사이트I don't know. I pulled out of the world championship selection camp and I stopped doing gymnastics for four months.바카라 게임 웹사이트
But things started to turn around for Lee in January 2024, when she got a phone call that changed everything. 바카라 게임 웹사이트It was just, like, a simple phone call,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she told NBC Olympics. 바카라 게임 웹사이트I can바카라 게임 웹사이트t really talk about it, but it was a simple phone call. And I was like, 바카라 게임 웹사이트Oh my gosh, I'm going to the gym tomorrow and I'm gonna be better than I ever was.바카라 게임 웹사이트 And that was the day I was like, 바카라 게임 웹사이트Yep, this is what I want. And I'm gonna put my mind into it.바카라 게임 웹사이트"
바카라 게임 웹사이트That바카라 게임 웹사이트s when she started saying, 바카라 게임 웹사이트I think they바카라 게임 웹사이트re getting a handle on it,바카라 게임 웹사이트바카라 게임 웹사이트바카라 게임 웹사이트 her trainer Jess Graba told Sports Illustrated.
Lee is now on medication to help control her conditions, and they're now in remission. 바카라 게임 웹사이트We have it under control now,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she told at a Team USA media summit. 바카라 게임 웹사이트We know what to do and the right medication to take.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Lee knows that this is uncharted territory for her 바카라 게임 웹사이트 and for her training team.
바카라 게임 웹사이트My coaches have never had to deal with someone who has had two kidney diseases,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she told NBC Olympics at the Team USA media summit. 바카라 게임 웹사이트And obviously, I'm like, 바카라 게임 웹사이트Okay, I don't know any other gymnasts that have two kidney diseases that have had to go through this.바카라 게임 웹사이트 So it's all a learning process. And we're taking it day by day.바카라 게임 웹사이트
But she바카라 게임 웹사이트s also optimistic about the future. 바카라 게임 웹사이트This comeback was so much more than my return to elite gymnastics,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she wrote on last year. 바카라 게임 웹사이트It was me proving to myself that I can overcome hard things, and to hopefully inspire others to never let life바카라 게임 웹사이트s setbacks stop you from going after your dreams.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Lee told Women바카라 게임 웹사이트s Health at the Team USA Media Summit that she바카라 게임 웹사이트s focused on her training and is doing "everything possible" to make the Paris team.
바카라 게임 웹사이트It feels really good to be able to just go out and to wake up in the morning and be able to go to practice,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트My doctor told me that we would never thought that I would be here, so it feels really good to be able to be doing gymnastics.바카라 게임 웹사이트
