You took the thoughts right out of my mind. Touche.

Seriously, she only started acting like this about two years ago. That really isn't long so it's surprising that she has caused that much damage already. She was healthy and normal before Back To Black made her big.

[Sarzy]

^ She was probably still taking drugs back then, but they hadn't started to noticeably take an effect on her appearance.

[Rica]

So...it finally caught up to her...

[KandyKorn]

That's a lot of drugs to have fucked up your body by the time you're 24.

[Sweetie]

I do not believe this.

[Grimmlok]

Whynot?

The singer’s father also reported that doctors have warned Winehouse that continued smoking of crack cocaine will result in her having to wear an oxygen mask and will be fatal. The singer’s spokesperson said that Mitch Winehouse’s description of the singer's condition "sounds right".[87][88]

The spokesbitch is even saying it. When spokesbitches are honest, that's scary.

Report: Amy Winehouse has emphysema

4 hours ago
LONDON (AP) — Amy Winehouse has early stage emphysema and her lungs have been damaged by smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes, her father said in an interview published Sunday.
The Sunday Mirror quoted Mitch Winehouse as saying that Amy has an irregular heartbeat, and has been warned that she will have to wear an oxygen mask unless she stops smoking drugs.
"The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs, it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her," Mitch Winehouse was quoted as saying. "There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She has 70 percent lung capacity."
The 24-year-old soul diva collapsed at her north London home Monday after signing autographs for a group of fans and was taken to a London hospital for tests. She remained there all week.
She is still scheduled to sing at a concert in London on Friday celebrating the 90th birthday of Nelson Mandela, the South African Nobel Prize-winner, and plans to take part in the Glastonbury music festival the following day.
Mitch Winehouse said it would be good for his daughter to perform.
"When she's been inactive work-wise then that's when the problems really start. The doctors have said that medically there isn't any reason why she can't do Glastonbury," the paper quoted him as saying.
He also pleaded with her drug-taking friends to stay away from her.
"What hope does she have if people are taking drugs around her," he said.
Chris Goodman, spokesman for Amy Winehouse, said "If that's what Mitch says, that's what he says. It sounds right."
Mitch Winehouse could not immediately be reached for comment.

So... early stages then.....




TBH, my dad has an irregular heartbeat, always has, didn't stop him dancing professionally, rock climbing, playing rugby and running a couple of marathons (when he was 46 & 48...).
Wonder if she'll now divorce her hubby for the good of her health?

Emphysema Symptoms:

Symptoms of the early stage of Emphysema include coughing, shortness of breath and wheezing.
Middle stage symptoms include the above, plus difficult breathing, weakness, limited physical ability and frequent respiratory infections.
In the final stage, all of the above intensifies plus loss of appetite and weight loss, inability to perform simple physical activity, inability to get out of bed, and death. For more information, here are the most popular books on emphysema symptoms and treatments.

I think it's all for sympathy. I have known people that are just like her and at 24 they are fine...well one did have a stroke. haha It's not like she's had this lifestyle for that long. I just don't see you coming down with this disease a couple years after hardcore partying.

That being said, my grandfather died from this and he never smoked one cigarette.

[Novice]

I guess her family/friends/someone could be using it to try to get her dried out without the pressure of "rehab"?

[AliceInWonderland]

one word: loser.

1 thought: no sympathy.

[Sweetie]

^ That's what I am thinking, along with the fact that she made racist comments just the other day....which they could be trying to steer away from.

Amy Winehouse Leaves Clinic, Lights Up


After undergoing treatment for the past few days, Amy Winehouse was spotted leaving her exclusive London rehab center on Monday (June 23) - quickly lighting up a cigarette before hitting the shops to pick up a few items.
Suffering from a nasty chest infection, it’s rumored that the 24-year-old “Rehab” singer is leaving to prepare for Nelson Mandela’s birthday celebrations and Glastonbury.



Meanwhile, as previously reported by Gossip Girls, Amy’s dad spoke to press about her medical state, telling: “With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up. There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She’s got 70 percent lung capacity.”
“When we got to the hospital a room was ready. Several doctors came in and checked to make sure she didn’t need any emergency treatment. They put her on a drip straight away because she was dehydrated. She said, ‘Don’t worry about me, dad. I know I’ve got to stop taking drugs now.’”
“She’s got emphysema. It’s in its early stages, but had it gone on for another month they painted a very vivid picture of her sitting there like an old person with a mask on her face struggling to breathe.”

Well, she's looking much better there, but how stupid of her to continue smoking!!

[MissVenus]

I like that she's still got the hospital tag on her wrist, while she's lighting up a fresh one... nice work, Amy.

[Grimmlok]

lights up as soon as she leaves? LOL

the sooner she's dead the better. Now i'm rooting for her demise. Stupid whore, you had everything.
