Sia has

revealed that she is suffering from a neurological disease.

The

43-year-old singer/songwriter opened up to her Twitter followers about her

health issues, revealing that she is also in chronic pain and has the condition

Ehlers Danlos.

She tweeted:

“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. Life is f**king hard. Pain is

demoralizing, and you’re not alone (sic).”

According to

the Ehlers Danlos Society’s website, EDS is “a group of genetic disorders

generally determined by joint hypermobility (joints that stretch further than

normal), skin hyperextensibility (skin that can be stretched further than normal),

and tissue fragility.”

The disorder

is rare, affecting only 1 in 5,000 individuals worldwide.

Meanwhile,

Sia previously opened up about her addictions in the past, revealing that she

had issues with prescription medication and alcohol. However, after she was

diagnosed with hyperthyroid disease, Sia managed to quit pills and booze, and

last year, she celebrated eight years of sobriety.
