It’s not easy for me to share something so personal publicly. But, hopefully it’ll help someone else going through a hard time and if so then it’s worth it! pic.twitter.com/kCME0bT3gM
In her statement, Tenille explains that she has been living and experiencing the disease since she was fourteen years old and has spent the remaining portion of her life trying her best to still work and live with it.
She, at some stages in her life, had it so under control that for many years, it wasn’t apparent to anyone else apart from herself and those who knew. However, very sadly the situation has flared up and has caused her health to deteriorate; although she has stated in her statement she is on the mend.
The reason she has decided to explain her situation, not just because it gives a reason for her absence on this ROH tour, is that she hopes it can help others with the condition. Psoriasis can often cause major self-esteem issues with the individual suffering from it and Dashwood has stated that she often worried it would come between her and her dreams of becoming a professional wrestler.

It is fantastic news to hear she is slowly getting better and she will be back competing in the ring soon.
