You Only Live Once (YOLO) actor John Bredu Peasah, popularly known as Drogba has taken to social media to appeal for financial assistance in his Demyelinating disease treatment.

A flyer propagating his appeal that has since gone viral revealed he had been battling the disease for more than two years.

Drogba who played the lover boy role in the teenage TV series adjudged as one of the most liked shows is in urgent need of financial assistance.

The flyer communicated, “John Bredu Peasah (Drogba) of the YOLO TV series has been diagnosed with Demyelinating disease and undergoing treatment for the past two and half years.”

“He is in need of financial support to aid in his treatment,” it added and put out financial details.

A demyelinating disease is any condition that causes damage to the protective covering (myelin sheath) that surrounds nerve fibres in your brain, the nerves leading to the eyes (optic nerves) and the spinal cord, according to Mayo Clinic.

It adds that when the myelin sheath is damaged, nerve impulses slow or even stop, causing neurological problems.

The condition may result in vision loss, muscle weakness, changes in bladder and bowel function, changes in sensation, muscle stiffness and spasms among others.

The condition has no cure but can be managed with therapies.
