Living with chronic health issues is not easy. It can affect everything, from work to daily activities, such as working out or simply getting out of bed. We tend to think that celebrities are the picture of health, but being talented and famous doesn’t make you immune to illness. In fact, many actors, singers, and models struggle with chronic conditions. You would expect them to keep them secret, but many have chosen to be outspoken about how it affects their everyday life. It’s time we destroy the stigma around chronic disease, and these stars are helping the world do that by being open about their struggles.
Halsey—endometriosis
Some conditions regularly go undiagnosed because the medical system dismisses their symptoms as nothing. One is endometriosis, which primarily affects women and can seriously impact their reproductive health and everyday life. Just ask singer Halsey.
Endometriosis causes tissue similar to that which lines the uterus to grow in places it shouldn’t and can affect fertility. Halsey has been upfront about how debilitating it can be. She has also mentioned being relieved at getting a diagnosis since it proved her symptoms weren’t made up.
