Lyme disease, a bacterial disease transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged tick. She was unaware of the seriousness of the disease, and not feeling well for some time. When her symptoms exaggerated, just a month after she turned 30, she was completely succumbed to the infected bacteria by then.
She said she couldn’t eat properly when she was celebrating her birthday in Las Vegas. She had to leave her friends early and went for rest. Unfortunately her doctor couldn’t figure out the exact cause, and it took months to figure out what exactly went wrong.
For five months, Avril stayed in her home in Ontario, fighting with the disease. Her mother moved in to support her, also her husband Hickelback frontman Chad Kroeger helped her whenever they found breaks in between their tours.
She said it was a very difficult time when it was so difficult even to stand erect. She was depressed as she thought she was dying.
Avril expressed her gratitude towards her fans, as she feels they were great source of support. She regularly received get-well messages and videos that touched her deeply.
