For years, fans of OutDaughtered on TLC have known that star Danielle Busby has dealt with many health-related struggles. A few years ago, she was afraid she may have suffered a heart attack and may require heart surgery.

Despite doctors doing heart tests and other checks of her body, they’ve struggled to give her a proper diagnosis. She has since also struggled with inflammation, migraines, and pain throughout her body. Doctors also worried she could have had fibromyalgia, and began treating her for the condition.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that causes pain, discomfort, and tenderness throughout the body. It also causes fatigue and can negatively impact a person’s sleep and mental health. Simply trying to live a normal life suffering from this condition can be debilitating.
As you can imagine, dealing with these health concerns took a considerable toll on Busby in her daily life.

Danielle Busby and her husband Adam are the parents of the only set of all-girl quintuplets in the USA. They were born on April 8th, 2015. The OutDaughtered show premiered just over a year later and is currently on its 10th season on TLC.
Throughout this ordeal, Danielle and her family took breaks from filming. Communication about her overall condition has remained sporadic over the years. As a result, fans have always worried about her, wondering if her condition had worsened.
Danielle’s Health Has Improved
Thankfully, she recently gave a major update in an interview with Parade about her health and how things are going. While she still has her ups and downs, she reported that she’s been doing much better in the recent couple of months, and is on a routine that seems to be working well. She has relied not only on medical doctors but has also taken a holistic approach to alleviating her problems.
While she doesn’t have a specific diagnosis yet, it’s believed that carrying quintuplets could have been a big reason for her health issues. Of course, this was incredibly hard for her body, and the impact on both her heart and nervous system has lingered for years since. Regular blood work with doctors has identified vitamin deficiencies, and she continues to be treated for fibromyalgia.

Having a solid routine and taking the proper medication and vitamins has helped, but she still suffers from swelling, weight fluctuations, nerve pain, and more. This has been challenging for her husband and the rest of her family to deal with.
It remains to be seen whether or not she’ll be able to get a concrete diagnosis and eventually get past her ailments. At least she’s able to keep her health problems relatively under control with the proper lifestyle changes, medication, vitamins, and assistance from experts.
