SIA Confesses She is Suffering from Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Oct 7

On Friday , the musical artist Sia opens c about health and living with chronic pain.

"Hey, I'm suffering with chronic pain, a neurological disease, Ehlers-Danlos and I just wanted to say to those of you suffering from pain, whether physical or emotional, I love you, keep going," she says.

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome “ is a group of disorders that affect connective tissues supporting the skin, bones, blood vessels, and many other organs and tissues.” A symptom of the disorder is hypermobility which is attributed to chronic pain that Sia referenced in her post.

Although Sia is more of a private person ( she used to perform and go out in public with a massive blond wig and fringe), her message proved that even though she lives a glamorous lifestyle as a musician , she’s still human and goes through the same things other people go through as well.
