90 Day Fiance star Jenny Slatten shares devastating health update four months after ALS diagnosis

90 Day Fiancé star Jenny Slatten shared a health update via her friend amid her battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

The reality TV personality is reportedly getting 'weaker by the day' just four months after she revealed she was diagnosed with ALS.

Nearly four weeks ago, Slatten shared another update, revealing that the disease has already progressed to the point where she has lost the ability to speak clearly. 

ALS is a nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to loss of muscle control and paralysis as it gets worse over time, per the Mayo Clinic. 

'Jenny is getting weaker by the day,' Slatten's friend Serma Minincleri wrote on her GoFundMe page on Wednesday. 

'She is on two medications for ALS, which are edaravone and riluzole, both [are] supposed to slow the process down.' 

Her friend noted that the two medications make Slatten feel 'very tired.' 

The TLC star's friend launched the GoFundMe campaign in July to raise funds to help pay for Slatten's medical treatments. 

In her recent update, her friend Minincleri said Slatten has seen five neurologists and speech therapists after she was diagnosed with the degenerative nervous system disease. 

'[Jenny] is doing what is asked of her and she will also be starting acupuncture very soon, there are trials that have shown great response with acupuncture and other holistic services that can greatly improve mobility and feeling less tired,' she wrote. 

'Jenny hardly speaks now as it hurts,' she continued. 

Back in May, Slatten announced her ALS diagnosis. 

Her husband Sumit Singh, with whom she appeared on multiple seasons of 90 Day Fiancé across the franchise, is now her primary caregiver. 

'Sumit speaks more for her and is the main spokesperson for his wife,' Minincleri said about Singh. '[He] is Jenny's main caregiver and doing a great job each day.' 

Slatten and Singh were first paired up, debuting in 90 Day Fiancé in the season one premiere. 

The couple also starred on seasons two and three as well as season seven. 

The pair also appeared on seasons seven and eight of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After and made their most recent appearance on season three of 90 Day: The Last Resort. 

Last month, the couple revealed that her symptoms were noticeably 'progressing' just three months after she received her initial diagnosis. 

In a social media update shared in August, her husband said: 'It's starting showing more in her talking, like, it's hard for her to talk now. 

'Earlier, she was doing good, [and now], it's progressing, but we were thinking that we'd come to America... if we can get proper treatment,' he continued. 

'I always keep my hopes high, and I feel that America might have something better for Jenny and she can get at least a better support system.' 

The couple previously relocated to Singh's home country of India after their 2021 wedding. 

She had been hesitant to move back for further treatment while Singh is currently struggling to obtain a visa to travel with her. 

'We love each other, and obviously, I want Jenny to start getting treated and I want Jenny to start feeling better or at least [have] a support system that makes [her] at least feel like, not struggling every day,' Singh said. 

'If [our marriage and medical plans] are not enough for the embassy in order for me to get a visa, I don't know whatever situation or condition I will ever be approved.'
