She said she had visited many hospitals and different places, including herbal clinics and prayer camps, to no avail.

Responding to a suggestion from a follower to seek spiritual help, as there could be more to her predicament than she could imagine, the TikTok star said she had done all that and more without seeing the needed result.

In the TikTok video, Efya Dragon showed some herbal medicines her mother bought from Prophet Adom-Kyei Duah, founder and leader of the Believers Worship Center, as proof of how far she had gone to seek help.

The young lady said she does not believe her sickness is spiritual and therefore, there is no need for her to hop from one prayer camp to another seeking help.

"I didn't just come out publicly to say I'm sick, and it's not as if I don't want to get better. I have sought help extensively. I just didn't come out to say I'm sick. I have done so many things. If what I'm going through is spiritual, I'm sure I would have been healed by now. This is why I no longer listen to advice to seek spiritual help," she said.
"Even pastors seek medical help when they're sick. It's not as if I committed any sin or I need to accept Jesus Christ before I get healed. No. You don't need to judge me. When you visit hospitals, you'll find Christians there," she added.
