Jenny Slatten is updating fans amid her health journey with ALS.
A GoFundMe page set up for the 90 Day Fiancé star gave an update on Slatten’s health months after she shared her diagnosis of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) in May.
“Jenny is getting weaker by the day, she is on 2 medications for ALS which are Edaravone and Riluzole both supposed to slow the process down, both pills make Jenny very tired, plus she takes b12 , melatonin and magnesium,” the update began about the 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way fan-favorite who married Sumit Singh.
The reality star has seen several neurologists and speech therapists in the past several months and “is doing what is asked of her,” the update continued. “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 with mobility and feeling less tired,” the statement continued.
The GoFundMe update added that Slatten “hardly speaks now” due to the pain she’s in. “Sumit speaks more for her and is the main spokesperson for his wife. Sumit is Jenny’s main caregiver and doing a great job each day.”
Slatten began to experience ALS symptoms in December 2024. She told PEOPLE that she choked while drinking water, had trouble swallowing pills, and experienced migraines. Slatten assumed she had “some kind of infection” and took medication, which temporarily helped.
Her speech then began to slow down, and at one point Slatten wasn’t speaking at all.
An interview of her from December 2025 at a 90 Day Fiancé event went viral after fans noticed her slurring her words and grew concerned, speculating that she suffered a stroke.
She consulted doctors after one fan asked about the neurodegenerative disease — which Slatten’s father died of 10 years earlier.

Months later, the reality star announced her diagnosis. “There was a rumor that I had a stroke, but it turned out to be ALS. At first, we tried to keep it private because it’s been very emotional and overwhelming for us,” she wrote on Instagram in May.
“We were hoping to find some kind of solution before speaking publicly. But after trying for some time, we feel like it’s time to reach out.”
Slatten continued, “Thank you so much for all the love and support. Right now, we are open to any kind of help — treatments, clinical trials, lifestyle changes, or anything that could help treat this disease or slow down its progression.”

Per the Mayo Clinic, ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease) is a “nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.” The disease affects the muscles needed to move, speak, breathe, and eat. Symptoms become worse over time, and there is no known cure.
As of publishing, the GoFundMe page has reached the halfway mark of its $250,000 goal.
