Sia has opened up on social media about the chronic pain disease she currently lives with, aiming to not only spread awareness, but offer support and encouragement to others who might be in the same battle.

The disease, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, is a disease that causes incurable discomfort to the joints, skin and bones. The disease specifically targets the body’s connective tissue, which can make the person feel weak, the pain debilitating.

“Hey, I’m suffering with chronic pain, a neurological disease, Ehlers-Danlos,” Sia shared her experience on Twitter.

“I just wanted to say to those of you suffering from pain, whether physical or emotional, I love you, keep going. Life is fucking hard. Pain is demoralising, and you’re not alone.”

While Sia has been relatively quiet on the new music front, she’s been keeping busy with festival and headline performances, not to mention her collaboration with Labrinth and Diplo as LSD. Their album, Labrinth, Sia & Diplo Present…LSD dropped earlier this year.
