Carrie Ann Inaba was rushed to the hospital after suffering a “medical emergency” mid-flight.
The “Dancing With the Stars” judge shared a new Instagram Reel Thursday night, which showed her in an ambulance en route to receive medical help.
“I was on my way to NY for something I am very passionate about. But had a small ‘medical emergency’ on the plane. I very suddenly felt quite ill,” Inaba, 58, wrote in the caption.
The professional dancer recalled experiencing symptoms of “food poisoning,” including cold sweats and dizziness, when suddenly her “arms went numb.”
“Normally I handle most of my health things on my own. Like many people who live with autoimmune disease, I travel with a health tool kit and am prepared for the worst, but this scared me,” she continued.
Inaba has been open about living with several chronic autoimmune diseases, including lupus, Sjögren’s syndrome, fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis.
She locked herself in a restroom to try and deal with her health problems while the plane was also experiencing turbulence.
“The flight attendants had been asked to sit in their seats as well. I didn’t want to have anyone else put themselves at risk… but when my arms went numb, it was time to ask for help.”
