The judge addressed the frightening incident on Instagram Thursday, explaining she had been traveling from to New York on Wednesday for a Novartis campaign focused on raising awareness for Sjögren's disease, an autoimmune condition she lives with.

'Yesterday was quite a day,' she captioned a video showing her in the back of an ambulance. 'I was on my way to NY for something I am very passionate about. But had a small "medical emergency" on the plane.'

'I very suddenly felt quite ill,' she continued. 'And while it seemed like food poisoning, I also suddenly broke out into a cold sweat, got dizzy and my arms went numb.'

The 58-year-old went on to explain the moment she realized she needed help from the flight crew.

'Normally I handle most of my health things on my own,' she explained. 'Like many people who live with autoimmune disease, I travel with a health tool kit and am prepared for the worst, but this scared me.'

She added, 'And while I was locked in the restroom, we were also experiencing turbulence and the flight attendants had been asked to sit in their seats as well.

'I didn't want to have anyone else put themselves at risk... but when my arms went numb, it was time to ask for help.'
