<h2>Popular media personality, <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/Denrele-Edun/">Denrele Edun</a> has opened up on the struggles he encountered while battling with facial stroke.</h2>
<p>According to Denrele, the sickness changed his face and he had to adopt hairstyles that would conceal it.</p>
<p>He opened up on the health challenge during an interview with Channels Television.</p>
<p>The crossdresser recounted experiencing difficulty breathing, impaired vision, paralysis in his right leg, and hair loss at the front due to the stroke.</p>
<p>The prominent entertainer added that while he was fighting the stroke, a buddy invited him to a movie shoot, but he decided to go instead of accepting sympathy or disclosing his illness</p>
<p>According to him, <em>“I was very sick at the time, so I had just come out of having a stroke on half of my face. It had never happened before but it didn’t stop or deter me from working. My face was droopy, I was left-handed, so on the right side. Every time I had to drink water, it would pour out, one eye was wide open, I couldn’t hear; and I couldn’t breathe. All my hairstyles covered that side so you can never tell.</em></p>
<p><em>“And then, getting out of that, another attack came from nowhere. On this one, I couldn’t walk; my right leg was dysfunctional, and I lost half of my hair. My friend asked me to make a cameo in her movie during that period and I didn’t like pity so I couldn’t tell her that I was sick and unable to perform well.”</em></p>
