'Pain is demoralising': Sia reveals she has rare neurological condition

Pop star Sia has revealed she has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome , a rare neurological condition that can cause severe joint pain and fragile skin.EDS is a relatively rare condition with no cureIn a tweet, the Australian said she was suffering from"chronic pain" and offered support to others with similar ailments.

"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 tweeted.There are many different types of EDS, and according to the Ehlers-Danlos Society its prevalence is somewhere between one in 2,500 to one in 5,000 people.

Some specific types can affect life expectancy, but for most there are preventative measures and treatments that have been known to help. Sia is a famously reclusive artist who performs with her face obscured, either by a wig or a headpiece of some description.

Is that why she can’t sing?

Is that why she writes about the most depressing shit I've ever heard? I feel like slashing my wrists every time I hear her sing.

Attention seeker.

It all makes sense now

Ehlers-Danlos is a connective tissue disorder. It causes “double-jointness”, chronic pain throughout the body and commonly caused fatigue, occasional rapid or slowed heartbeat, GI issues, allergies or autoimmune issues, fibromyalgia. More info at

Charming.

Quote “such is life”

Sia, please hold Greta's beer

Who?

I see you've fixed the factual inaccuracies in the article. Are you going to fix this still inaccurate tweet

Don't know Who this person is. But life is hard in general

Not a neurological condition

thats terrible she is such a talented artist. really hope they can figure out how to fix this

It isn't a neurological disorder. It is a Connective tissue disorder associated w. a plethora of conditions (incl.Neurological) Poor background research by journos & a missing 'and' in her tweet 'chronic pain, neurological condition, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome' = Incorrect headlines

Why does Sia think that a condition that causes joint hypermobilty (such as dislocations) is neurological? It may have neurological symptoms.

Everyone wants to be special or different but we're all mentally ill in some way.

Me too. 🙋‍♀️ It's a connective tissue / collagen defect. Not neurological.

ha ha ha. who would’ve thought

Neurological disorder? This sounds wrong but I'm not an expert. Asher_Wolf ?
