But Aquino explained that she wants Bimby to enjoy being 16 years old.

“I reassured her, saying, ‘Ate, it’s so embarrassing that you all feel I’m so dependent on my 16-year-
old. He deserves to enjoy being 16. I want him to experience what I didn’t, a regular high school and
college life,” she continued. 

Aquino’s post about Bimby came a day after she revealed that she has begun taking new medicine as
she continues to battle at least five autoimmune conditions. 

Aquino said that she started taking the first “baby dose” of methotrexate which is in a class of
medications called antimetabolites.

According to her, the said medication is used to treat cancer by slowing the growth of cancer cells
and psoriasis by slowing the growth of skin cells to stop scales from forming.

On top of that, methotrexate can also be used for rheumatoid arthritis as it decreases the activity of
the immune system. 

Aquino confirmed that she has five autoimmune conditions already and might increase to six.
