For those out of the loop, it all began yesterday when Valkyrae revealed that she was cancelling her stream scheduled for later in the day because she was going to the hospital.
“I gotta cancel stream today! At the hospital for an appendicitis scare but it might be something else. I’ll make it up to you guys later,” said Valkyrae, tweeting from her main Twiter account.

Later that day, Valkyrae took to her other Twitter account to provide an update, noting that doctors were unable to figure out what was wrong with her.
“Update! Was in the hospital for 6 hours; blood drawn, iv, scans, etc. results – for ovarian cysts. Pain is down from a 9/8 sharp pain to a 3/2 bloated/uncomfortable gut. great.. but nerve wracking that the pain couldn’t be pinpointed,” said Valkyrae. “They want me back tomorrow… Resting today.”
