Before getting sick, Josel was a tourist van driver while his live-in partner, Jamaica, was an employee at a company.

During their marriage, Jamaica saw how responsible a father Josel is.

"'Yung panganay namin, siya po talaga 'yan naghahatid-sundo...Siya po 'yung nag-aararo ng palayan para po mataniman namin ng palay," shared Jamaica.

Josel and Jamaica had also planned to get married but they thought it would be a waste of money. So to save money, they signed up for Kasalang Bayan in 2024.

But two months before their wedding, Josel suddenly fell ill, which they initially thought was just due to work fatigue.

"Bigla po siya nagpawis kahit po naka-electric fan o naka-aircon. Para siyang hinihingal na po tapos nag-palpitate 'yung heart niya...Nahihirapan na po siya maghinga," she further narrated.

Despite feeling unwell, Josel continued his work until his body gave out and he was taken to the hospital. It was there that he was discovered to have experienced a "thyroid storm" caused by hyperthyroidism.

While in the hospital, Josel fell into a coma and had to be put on a "tube."

Dr. Jim Paulo Sarsarat, an Endocrinologist, hyperthyroidism is an autoimmune disease triggered by the immune system that can be caused by genetics, stress, smoking, or viral infections.

"Ang mga sintomas ay labis na pagpapawis o pagkabog ng dibdib, pangangayat or weight loss. Panginginig ng mga kamay at madalas na pagdumi o diarrhea," said Dr. Sarsagat.

After two months of being in a coma, Josel woke up but could no longer speak, move, and remember nothing.

Due to Josel's long hospitalization, their bill reached P1.4 million. So Jamaica decided to discharge her husband from the hospital so that they could continue their treatment at home.

Due to Josel's condition, he is fed through a nasogastric tube. Jamaica is assisted in this by their eldest son, John Yldrich, who also prepares the medications their father needs.
