Read our privacy policy Miranda Hart has revealed that she was “bedbound for years” after undiagnosed Lyme disease developed into chronic fatigue syndrome. Hart said that she subsequently underwent several blood tests after hitting rock bottom, and it was then that some “very clever” experts were able to join the dots and diagnose her with Lyme disease. While the comedian’s health has improved in the intervening years, she said that she has not yet “fully recovered” but is optimistic following her diagnosis. “I think the hardest thing about these sort of fatigue-based conditions is that lack of understanding, lack of never knowing when there’s an end date.” Thankfully, Hart was also able to make a happy revelation through her book, revealing that she had secretly gotten married in July.
