Olympic gold-winning gymnast McKayla Maroney has fans praying for her after her recent admission.
Maroney, part of the legendary “Fierce Five” at the 2012 Summer Games, posted on Instagram earlier this week for the first time since December a collection of photos she called a “trauma dump.”
“Hey girl. It’s been forever. Hopefully, you had a hot girl summer because I definitely did not. I had a summer of severe insomnia,” Maroney wrote in her caption.
“I slept a total of 10 days out of 3 months. I’d like to say it was a nightmare, but you have to sleep to have nightmares,” she wrote.
Maroney went to “tons of doctors” to find the root of the problem, and she eventually found out she has “histamine intolerance.” Since her diagnosis, she has cut out foods with histamine, and “I’ve started to sleep again.”
“I went to tons of doctors, and I’ve only just begun to get to the root cause of this health spiral crisis lol. Thankfully I did finally find out I have histamine intolerance which was causing a massive adrenaline problem for me — and when it got really bad, high histamine foods made me feel internally itchy, like I was getting bit by mosquitoes all night.”
Her post included a variety of random pictures, including one photo seemingly taken from a medical facility, while the gymnast had an IV in her arm. Another picture showed a food sensitivities test, which she had filled out with her own blood samples.

Fans took to the comment section to send her prayers.
Maroney is almost as famous for her notorious “not impressed” meme as her gold medal, which she won with the United States in a team competition.
Aside from that, she is also one of hundreds of gymnasts to testify against Larry Nassar, who was jailed in 2018.
