Janet Caperna, the star of The Valley, has recently shared a startling health scare that stemmed from her New Year’s Eve celebrations. After a bout of acute gastritis, Caperna lost an astonishing 20 pounds in just under two weeks. Her symptoms escalated quickly, leading to severe vomiting and multiple hospital visits. At one point, she described the pain as worse than childbirth, proving that even the holidays can come with unexpected challenges.
Caperna recounted her experience in detail, explaining that her body felt as if it were being“wrung out,”and that the discomfort lingered for days. Initially believing her illness was just a hangover or food poisoning, she soon discovered the seriousness of her condition. Thankfully, after days of treatment and some medicinal help, she is finally on the mend, but not without shedding light on the importance of health.
This cautionary tale reminds us all to take care of ourselves, especially when indulging in festive celebrations. So, what’s the lesson here? Maybe moderation during the holidays could prevent a health scare or two. After all, no one wants their New Year’s toast to lead to a hospital bed.
