Amy Winehouse thought to have tuberculosis (Neat.)

June 20th, 2008 // 70 Comments

Doctors believed Amy Winehouse was suffering from tuberculosis after she fainted in her home on Monday, but it turns out she’s just got a really bad chest infection and also an irregular heartbeat. Hmm, I wonder what could’ve caused these things. If only there was some clear cut, bright as day answer to why Amy Winehouse’s body is a walking unwrapped mummy of disease… Puzzling. The Daily Mail reports:

A close friend said: “Doctors are still struggling to control her heartbeat but the chest condition has been really worrying them. She’d been suffering horrible coughing fits and hurling up blood for a while but refused to be examined. Doctors are doing more tests to be certain. The last thing she needs is to be wheeled on stage. She needs a rest.”

This just in: Doctors have removed a Colombian drug mule from Amy’s left ventricle. How the donkey got in there will baffle the field of medicine for years to come. Until they figure out she uses really, really big drug needles. I’m talking these things have wheels, driver’s seat and passenger side airbags. Did I mention a DVD player for the kids? That too. Lease now for an affordable APR you won’t want to miss.*

    TB…??? No…it is called “scorched lung” by smoking to much “crack” and “meth” non-stop for weeks on end.

  3. I really don’t want to see such photos about her. I like discussing healthy celebs with online friends at a single club called ===Blackwhitemeet.com====. There are many celebs and their funs there.

    Mmmm, not her fan. I saw her profile on “S e e k i n g R i c h . c o m ” last week. “She is already in relationship with a young billionaire on our site”, according to the officials of that site.

    In 2004, mortality and morbidity statistics included 14.6 million chronic active cases, 8.9 million new cases, and 1.6 million deaths, mostly in developing countries.[2] In addition, a rising number of people in the developed world are contracting tuberculosis because their immune systems are compromised by immunosuppressive drugs, substance abuse, or HIV/AIDS.

  13. Amy will say “yes” to rehab after this.

    Hahahha…Colombian drug mule?! Jesus, what are they paying you brilliant superficial writers for these pearls? Or do you just volunteer your services in between Mensa meetings? Ugh. It’s TMZ for me. Even their dumbass use of the word “crazazy” is preferable to this. What the hell? This site used to be so funny it made me laugh out loud. Now it’s just nauseating.

    God what a Tramp! She’d blend right in around Downtown Los Angeles!

    I’m afraid to even linger on AW posts for fear I may catch something. Anyone else scroll through real quickly whenever they see her name on the header?

    I will be praying for Miss Winehouse. She is a human being, after all. We have free will and while I do not support her choice of self abuse, I associate drug use with a cry for help. I hope she will see the error of her ways and get the appropriate help she needs.

    Please remember that no one is perfect and trashing someone whom is clearly ill is terrible.

    I hope the lot of you get help, also. Seems like everyone here needs healing. The reason you judge is because you are trying to take the spotlight off of your own imperfections.

    no question on the talent, but what i do question is what manner of revolting shit must be living in that head of hair….

    I FEEL SO BAD FOR HER FATHER. I FEEL TERRIBLE THAT SHE CAN’T STOP THE DRUGS – SHE’S 24 AND HAS EMPHYSEMA. I WISH HER THE VERY BEST – I REALLY DO. IT’S HARD WHEN YOU HAVE AN ADDICTION. ANY ADDICTION. NO ONE WANTS TO BE THIS WAY – SHE JUST CAN’T HELP IT. SHE HAS A VERY ADDICTIVE NATURE AND IT WILL TAKE MANY TRIES TO GET CLEAN.
