Despite all the fame and money which comes your way, bad health has a way of striking on your doors when you are least expecting it. Kim Kardashian knows this very well.Hollywood celebrity, reality TV star, and entrepreneur, Kim Kardashian recently opened up about receiving a "scary" health diagnosis from her doctor which made her question her life choices and worry what the future held for her.In one of the episodes of her show, Kim can be seen paying a visit to the doctor's clinic, where she received a rather scary diagnosis about contracting lupus, which later turned out to be false. As the mother of four said, she had been feeling a certain numbness in her hands and felt really tired of late, making her worry:

Ive been feeling so tired, so nauseous and my hands are really getting swollen, she said. I feel like I literally am falling apart. My hands are numb. Lately, my wrists are starting to hurt again but its definitely a different feeling, she said. I feel this in my bones. Its starting to really worry me. I really have to look into this. Based on the symptoms, it looks like I have rheumatoid arthritis. Its so scary. So I have to go to the doctor and see whats going on because I cant live like this.

The 38-year-old star also talked about how the diagnosis made her question her life choices. She also said that the lupus diagnosis made her undergo depression.

'When you do have a diagnosis, or you get tested for something and you get a result that you weren't expecting, you definitely get in your head and for a second you kinda get this little depression of, like, "OK, what are all of the possibilities that can happen?"' the star said.

'"What's my life gonna look like? I really wanna be active for my kids." And so it triggers something,'

However, she took it in her stride and decided to look at the positive side of life for the sake of her four kids and family. In an interview, she added:

No matter what's going on in your life, you can take that time to grieve for a second and then figure out how to be positive about it because it's not going to change. 'There's no point in being depressed and staying in that headspace, but I felt it for a minute", she added.

Kim, who has been a patient of psoriasis for a long time now had to go through screenings and tests, which revealed that she tested positive for certain antibodies responsible for the spread of lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.

However, the diagnosis proved to be false and Kim breathed a sigh of relief. While she did test positive for some antibodies, it was later revealed that she was suffering from psoriatic arthritis, a less severe form of arthritis.
