Unfortunately, in recent weeks viewers saw how she was battling her illness. Just earlier this month the mom of two shared she received a diagnosis of optic neuritis after suffering from migraines for nearly two years.
“I was diagnosed with Optic Neuritis a few months ago after nearly 2 years of being told my migraines were stress related,” she stated. “They then thought I had MS which was ruled out (for now) but now the pressure in my head literally takes me off my feet.”
Due to this, the illness sent her to the hospital days later where she was quickly admitted for a week and was discharged on March 12. She went on to reveal her pain was back which landed her back in the facility.
Two days before her death, she went on to share that she was waiting for surgery. “I’m waiting to see if I can take one of my Frovatriptan before surgery because no other pain relief is taking this pressure or if I need to ride it out and hope the surgery gives me instant relief,” she stated via a TikTok post. “I can’t lift my head without wanting to be sick and I’m unable to walk, I need to be wheeled everywhere. That’s how bad this pain is.”

Through a GoFundMe statement, Thomas’ family as well as her friends say they are mourning her death. “I’ve started this page in the hope of raising some money so her beautiful boys can have the best childhood, make memories and make sure they are comfortable,” Rest said on GoFundMe. As of Wednesday morning, it has raised over $16,000.
“Nothing will bring the boys their mum back, but we hope it will bring some relief to her family, knowing how loved and supported they are,” Reast stated. “Jehane — I promised I’d do what I can for those boys, so that’s what I’m vowing to do. I love you.”
