'I’m feeling really good': Lisa McHugh shares health update after setback

Lisa McHugh: “I’m feeling really good and have recovered well, so I’ll be checking in more often and keeping you updated on what’s coming up — I’ve got some really exciting things and events ahead that I’m looking forward to!"

Irish country music singer Lisa McHugh shared an update on her health over the Easter break after experiencing a setback in February.

Last year, the singer-songwriter shared that she had been diagnosed with a neurological disorder called Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), after what she said was “an incredibly scary” and “very difficult" few weeks spent in the hospital.

She described at the time how she was unable to lift her legs and shared with fans the story of what led to her diagnosis of the incurable disorder.

In February, the 37-year-old, who had been looking forward to what was to be her first live show since her diagnosis, shared a statement on Instagram confirming that she would not be performing at the Clanree Hotel in Letterkenny with fellow country star Nathan Carter.

Since then, the singer-songwriter said she has taken a step back from everything to focus on building her energy back up again after her most recent sickness and to spend some proper time “on the things that matter most”.

On Sunday, McHugh shared an update on Instagram, alongside some photos of her and two children, Milo and Hallie.

“The kids have definitely kept me busy (as you can see) and brought plenty of smiles along the way,” she wrote.

“I’m feeling really good and have recovered well, so I’ll be checking in more often and keeping you updated on what’s coming up — I’ve got some really exciting things and events ahead that I’m looking forward to!

“But for now… it’s back to the Easter eggs for me. I hope you’re all good, and Happy Easter to you all. Lots of love.” 

McHugh’s post was met with many messages of support and well-wishes from friends and followers.
