Courtney Anne Mitchell Diagnosed With COVID-19, Hives & Chronic Fatigue
The internet personality has been transparent with her ongoing health issues over the last few years via Instagram and interviews. In her recent statement to PEOPLE, Courtney addressed her chronic fatigue battle. “It’s been a long journey of dealing with my own chronic fatigue syndrome which makes it difficult to keep up with the high energy of touring and traveling from place to place,” she shared with the mag in early Aug. 2023. “However, I do wish ‘My Love, Husband, & Friend,’ and the bandmates a happy tour and the very best out there. I know they will be amazing as they put on a great show.”
She also disclosed to the outlet that her hives condition has gone into remission. Courtney made sure to thank her ex for his support throughout her healing journey. “I am eternally thankful to my husband who has been so supportive of my healing process. I couldn’t have done so without his love and support,” she said.
Not only has she struggles with hives and chronic fatigue, but Courtney has also had COVID-19 several times. She and her ex discussed their health routine during a Feb. 2023 appearance on SWAY’S UNIVERSE. “We got COVID three times,” Corey explained. “Each time – no joke – we literally only had it for three days.”
What Is COVID-19, Hives & Chronic Fatigue?
Coronavirus disease, or COVID-19, is “an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus,” as reported by the official World Health Organization. The disease was at the center of the 2020 global pandemic which cause lockdowns across the globe. Since then, there have been multiple vaccines created to help with the side effects of COVID-19. Some of the symptoms associated with the illness include: fever, cough, tiredness, and/or loss of taste or smell.
Hives occur on the skin as a reaction and are typically noticeable by “itchy welts,” according to the Mayo Clinic. Some hives can be chronic, as in Courtney’s case, especially when they occur for more than six weeks. The chronic version of hives can also disappear but return after months or even years. Typically, a doctor will prescribe anti-itch medication to help aide in the itchy nature of the symptoms.
Chronic fatigue syndrome or Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), is “a serious, long-term illness that affects many body systems,” as reported by the CDC. The illness can cause people to become bed-ridden and stop them from participating in their daily routines. A few symptoms aside from fatigue can include: “problems with thinking and concentrating, pain, and dizziness,” per the CDC website. There is no known cure or “approved” treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome.

How Is Courtney Anne Mitchell Doing Today?
The internet darling shared positive news surrounding her hives condition on Jun. 9, 2023, via Instagram. “As many of you know I contracted a bug in December 2021 which I believe led to the Chronic Hives Condition, as it wasn’t there prior,” she wrote in the caption of her selfie with her hubby. “I tried everything to fix it. Nothing was working. Sophia helped me by providing me with answers that I never would have found otherwise Today I am hives free thanks to her help.”
Last year, in Oct. 2022, she also shared a photo of herself wearing a face mask amid her flight. “How I travel; I don’t compromise; (unless an emergency), and I make my potato balls ahead of time to bring with me on my flights. I do a hand check to make sure it doesn’t have any unnecessary radiation exposure either,” she captioned the selfie. As for her COVID-19 battle, Courtney has not posted about that condition in recent months. Meanwhile, her chronic fatigue, as in the name, is an ongoing condition with no cure.
