Brooks has received the source of the neurological problems, stating in a video on Friday that she has been diagnosed with Terminal ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis).
The doctors have diagnosed me with Terminal ALS. There is not a lot of research behind ALS, as we don’t know how long I have, but it explains why I have trouble walking and talking, and all my functions will soon decline. Now, we can prepare for the future and what is to come, and I want to say ‘thank you’ to Tony Khan and AEW for supporting me on this medical journey. It has been a blessing that is unheard of. From the bottom of my heart, ‘thank you’ and thank you to all of your prayers. Please continue to pray for a peaceful journey and a peaceful passing. I love you.
We send our best wishes to Tanea Brooks as she takes on this diagnosis.
