Hollywood actress Ashley Judd has spoken about how she has been diagnosed with a "sleepiness sleep disorder" after a long health battle.

The actress has talked about the recovery she's undergone after fracturing her leg in a "freak accident" right after her mother's death in 2022.

She wrote: "It's been a long journey to full recovery: I have had a parasite (gone now, and featured, thank you, in the New England Journal of Medicine, so exotic was it), mono, big weight gain, and now loss, finally a diagnosis of a sleepiness sleep disorder (I now know why I always napped over lunch on movie sets!), and more!"

She said: "Y'all are so awesome for cheering me on, and I notice how often you ask about my leg and foot recovery. That accident in DRC was hellacious to a factor of 10."

"I remain grateful to my siblings there who saved my life and encouraged my spirit as I was carried out of the depths of the second lung of the planet for 67 hours to get medical attention and that first pain medicine."

In a video alongside the post, Ashley explained how the first accident left her with "a Schatzker V tibial plateau fracture" and a paralysed right foot, while her leg "had no pulse," reports femalefirst.co.uk.
