Her health issues began when she experienced severe symptoms, including relentless dizziness and nausea. "I woke up one night with my head spinning, and I felt like the walls of my room were rotating 360 degrees, which caused me to vomit—every little movement would trigger it," she recounted. She shared details of her trauma over several days, making even simple tasks like going to the bathroom or filling her water bottle excruciated.
Concerned for her health, she decided to visit the hospital for evaluation. At the emergency department, doctors diagnosed her with external otitis and recommended several MRI scans and other tests for February. Lou expressed her concern about possibly having issues with her inner ear, hinting at potential problems linked to vertigo.
After resting and beginning treatment, she provided her followers with updates about her condition, saying, "I'm feeling somewhat improved now with antibiotics and anti-dizziness medication, but it's really tough to stay upright. I’m constantly losing my balance and feel fatigued all the time." With her current state still precarious, she reached out to her followers for support, stating, "If any of you have experienced similar issues, please share some advice, because it’s been six days now, and though I’m improving, it’s not enough."
Hours after her plea for assistance, Pernaut expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support she received, noting, "Thank you for all your advice, so many of you reached out." She indicated she was now searching for a therapist to initiate vestibular rehabilitation to aid her recovery.

Having rekindled her love life with singer Marc Lavoine, Karembeu shared how this new relationship has allowed her to embrace joy and companionship she had previously missed out on.
