Your support makes all the difference.Khloe Kardashian was diagnosed with coronavirus earlier this year, a new clip from Keeping Up with the Kardashians revealed.
The clip, released ahead of Thursday’s episode, began with Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner discussing the possibility that the Good American founder has the virus.
“We're just anxiously awaiting the results for Khloe to see if she has it or not," Kim said. "I mean, my gut tells me she does, just because she's so sick. And that really scares me for her, because I can tell that she's now getting scared and that she's really nervous about it."
Jenner, Khloe’s mother, then revealed that she had “jumped on the phone with every doctor” that would take her call to find someone that could help.
In footage recorded herself with her phone, Khloe then confirmed that she tested positive for Covid-19.
“I just found out that I do have corona,” the 36-year-old said. “I have been in my room. It’s gonna be fine, but it was really bad for a couple days.
The reality star then revealed that she had suffered from symptoms such as vomiting, shaking, migraines, a cough and hot and cold flashes.
“I suffer from migraines, but this was the craziest headache,” she continued. “I wouldn't say it was a migraine. The coughing, my chest would burn when I would cough."
In the phone video, Khloe also said in a hoarse voice that her throat has not fully recovered.
“Let me tell you. That sh*t is real. But, we’re all going to get through this,” the Revenge Body host said, adding that she was “praying that if we follow orders and listen we’re all going to be okay.”
While the clip does not reveal when Khloe was diagnosed, it seems she has since recovered, as she attended Kim’s 40th birthday on a private island last week, which required all guests to undergo “two weeks of multiple health screens” and quarantine.
“After two weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time,” the Skims founder, who is facing backlash for being “tone-deaf,” captioned photos from the trip.
Khloe was not the only family member to test positive for coronavirus, as Kim previously revealed that husband Kanye West also had the virus “way at the beginning, when nobody really knew what was going on.”
“It was so scary and unknown. I had my four babies and no one else in the house to help,” she told Grazia magazine earlier this month.
