Trista Sutter: – Husband seriously ill:

There are few relationships, and not least marriage, that have lasted after the TV cameras have been turned off after both “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelor” recordings.

However, it has done so for Ryan (46) and Trista Shutter (48), who became superstars in the USA when they fell in love with the first season of the American version of “The Bachelor” in May 2003.

That same year, they got married in a beautiful ceremony for which the TV channel ABC pocketed a staggering seven million kroner, and in retrospect they have had the children Maxwell (13) and Blakesley (12) together.

– Been hard

While things have apparently been going well for the couple since they found each other on TV, they revealed earlier this year that Ryan has been battling a mysterious illness.

In retrospect, this has been shown to be Lyme disease.

– It has been hard, his wife Trista says tearfully this week in the podcast “Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous”, according to IS! News.

Lyme disease

  • Lyme disease, also called Lyme disease, is the most common tick-borne disease in Norway. The disease is caused by a group of bacteria called Borrelia bacteria, which can infect both animals and humans.
  • Only two out of 100 tick bites cause disease. Most people who get sick (about 90%) get only a mild Lyme disease infection in the skin, but 10% get what is called widespread (disseminated) Lyme disease, which is a serious condition.
  • Lyme disease is divided into three categories: 1. Early local disease: A skin rash, red and often ring-shaped, occurs after tick bites. This is called erythema migrans. Treated effectively with penicillin.2. Widespread (disseminated) disease: which means that the Borrelia bacterium has spread to other organs in the body, such as the nervous system or joints. Symptoms typically occur one to two months after the bite. Treated effectively with antibiotic tablet regimen.3. Late widespread disease: Persistent ailments that have lasted for more than six months. Permanent skin changes, arthritis and neuroborreliosis. Symptoms can be, for example, balance problems, weakness in the legs, urine / faecal leakage or altered consciousness. In addition to this, you can also get other symptoms such as headaches, malaise, fatigue, etc.

– And not because I want any attention to me, but I want him to get better. I want him to wake up and feel good. I want him to be able to spend time with our family and create memories. And when you do not feel good, it takes away from life, she continues.

The TV profile reveals that she is not feeling well, and that she has really struggled, but that the most important thing is that she shows up for the couple’s two children.

– Serious

Also earlier this year, Trista has opened up about her husband’s challenges. Even then, she described it as hard.

– It is really difficult to see the person you love most in the world struggle, she said in the podcast “Better Etc”, and pointed out how difficult it was to see such a strong man emotionally and helpless.

At the same time, Ryan explained that he started to feel bad in early 2020, but that it was not addressed until November of the same year.

– The body just itched for no reason. I had some pretty severe headaches, swollen lymph nodes, nausea, night sweats, fever, muscle and joint pain and periods of extreme exhaustion – almost paralyzing exhaustion, he said, pointing out that this was something he had never experienced before.

– Well, I have done a lot that has made me tired, but this was more than tired, he continued, and said that he was positive and felt that they are on the right track.
