She noted it started out wonderfully but ended early due to her health, as she shared this:

“Doctors haven’t been able to find anything until recently, getting the results of a Mycotoxin and Mold test showing I’ve been SEVERELY exposed. My body has been working hard to fight it all off.”

Michelle added that she has been struggling for around a year and has been so tired. It looked like it could be anything, and eventually it was just deemed to be stress from getting married. That was not the case, but luckily, The Bachelor alum has moved and is out of harm’s way.
