While Danielle is a supermom to her six kids on OutDaughtered, she hasn't been feeling like herself on Season 8. Since fall 2020, Danielle has been in and out of the hospital, and her fans are more than concerned.
In the months since the reality star first shared her health struggles, she hasn't been able to identify what exactly is wrong with her.
She suspects that she has some sort of autoimmune disease, and opened up to Entertainment Tonight about some of her symptoms in March 2021.
"I'm just like on a wave and have a lot of ups and downs and different forms of pains. From physical pains, to migraines, to numbness, to tinglings, to digestive problems, to a little bit of skin issues," she shared about what she's been dealing with. "It's just a bunch of random things ... but there really is no identifying conclusion to this."
Until she gets a proper diagnosis, Danielle is continuously going through testing.

"I'm looking at a possible autoimmune disease, and sometimes that's just not easily defined. I'm just kind of having to go through a lot of the same processes over again, restarting different routines of blood work and everything," she added.
Danielle then said that she was trying to figure out how to mitigate her pain with certain lifestyle changes — including prioritizing her mental health and exercise.

Her husband added that it's been "tough" to see Danielle struggling, especially since there's still so much that is unknown about her illness.
"It's honestly been tough through this process just because we don't really know what's going on, and just trying to support her through the process and encourage her as best I can. But also just trying to take as much of the weight and burden of just everyday tasks around the house," he told ET. "Parenting, and stuff, just so that she can relax a little bit."
