14. Jennifer Esposito

American actress, dancer and model was diagnosed with the autoimmune disorder celiacs disease. Star of such films as I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and Dracula 2000 is currently without employment. Celiacs disease affects the small intestines, disabling the body from properly absorbing nutrients from food.

She collapsed on the set of the “Blue Blood” and subsequently her character was written off the show. For Jennifer, the worst part of it all was that her doctors could not figure out what was wrong with her for quite a bit.

They diagnosed her with irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue and treated her for an fathom parasite that was never actually found. When they finally figured out what was wrong with her, it was the first step towards feeling better.
