Milby emphasized the subtle but significant symptoms he experienced, such as increased thirst and frequent urination, which he initially overlooked. He used his platform to urge his followers to be vigilant about their health and not ignore any potential warning signs. “My advice – don’t ignore the symptoms (my main symptoms – always thirsty and urinating often) and get checked up regularly,” he added, highlighting the importance of regular check-ups in catching health issues early.
