'Secret Lies of Mormon Wives' Star Mikayla Matthews Still Has No Idea What Her Chronic Illness Is

Transcript

00:00Mikayla, how are you feeling? I know that you opened up about your chronic illness.

00:04Have you found answers throughout this process and how are you feeling today?

00:10No, I haven't. I haven't found any answers yet. Still doing more testing. I just got a biopsy done

00:17yesterday. I'm going to go to a cancer institute and get tested for blood, different blood cancers.

00:22I'm still, we're still red. We're still going through it. I mean, I'm a lot, I'm a lot better

00:28than I was, but I still, I still have my ups and downs. So it's just frustrating to not get any

00:32answers and kind of feel like I'm on my own and then have to navigate being in this really

00:37exciting time while not feeling my best. And so that's kind of been, been the trickiest.

00:42Yeah. Oh, I wish you nothing but the best and nothing but health and

00:45happiness. I mean, how difficult was it for you to kind of maybe even get up some days

00:50and film this show? I'm sure that's gotta be, it had to be really, really hard at times.

00:54Yeah, there were, I mean, there was a time where the backs, the back of my legs and

00:58every, every crease was cut and bleeding and I could barely even stand up and walk and take

01:02care of my kids. And so that was a really hard time. I feel like my confidence, my confidence

01:06was at an all time low. Um, I feel like just my quality of life wasn't great because I could

01:12barely do anything. And so I was filming during that time. And so I would just go, I'd be crying

01:17on the way to filming being like, Oh my gosh, I look so horrible. And then I would get there and

01:21just, yeah, not be fully present. And so I hope season two that I'm going to be in a healthier,

01:27healthier state. And then I can be, maybe I'll be the villain season two and more confrontation.

01:34All right.
