Halsey is diving deeper into her illnesses.
Just days after she spoke to fans about her ailments, Halsey took the time to reassure fans about her status.
“I didn’t 'just get sick,' I’ve been sick. For a long time. My sickness just have their names now,” she explained. “I went to doctors for 8 years. Trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I was called crazy and anxious and lazy amongst many other things. I changed my entire lifestyle. When I wasn’t working I was essentially confined to my home for fear of how I’d feel when I woke up each morning.”
Halsey Goes Into Depth About Her Ailments
Halsey then explains its taken time to get someone to diagnosis her condition, given it’s been a year that she’s been wondering what was going on with her body.
“It took me a long time to get to even having a diagnosis so I’m celebrating,” she wrote. “Don’t roll you eyes at your sick friends. They could be fighting a battle that they haven’t named yet. Ya know?”
Driving the point home, Halsey wrote, “Don’t roll your eyes at your sick friends. They could be fighting a battle that they haven’t named yet.”
Halsey Sets The Record Straight
on Monday, May 9, the singer posted a TikTok naming all of the things she’s become allergic to since giving birth last summer.
While drinking a green tea, Halsey listens to Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams.”
Over the video she writes, “Just found out I’m allergic to coffee so there goes my entire personality.”
She proceeds to list a TON of other foods she can no longer consume like: potatoes, garlic, spinach, ginger, corn, milk, wheat, crab, carrots, peppers, shrimp, bananas, peanuts, blueberries, and a lot more.
Italian in me is weeping.”
We’re weeping for you Halsey!
She continued to explain in her IG Story from Tuesday, “Obviously, my health has changed a lot you know since I got pregnant and gave birth. And I started getting really, really sick and I’ve been kind of sick pretty much most of my adult life, but it started getting really bad. I was hospitalized for anaphylaxis a few times.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, “Anaphylaxis causes the immune system to release a flood of chemicals that can cause you to go into shock — blood pressure drops suddenly and the airways narrow, blocking breathing.”
She explained that she’s seen “100,000 doctors,” and was diagnosed with at least four different syndromes.
Sadly, Halsey and their doctors are still trying to figure out the root cause for all of the auto-immune issues.
Halsey Was Done With Perfection
“I’m keeping you guys updated, because I know you’re seeing the heart monitor and that I’m sick all the time, and I don’t want anyone to be worrying,” she reassured fans. “I’m on a treatment plan right now, I’m in rehearsals for the tour. I’m really excited and confident that I’m going to be able to do it in a way that is healthy and I can perform my best for you.”
Despite everything going on, Halsey explained that she’s very excited to go on tour, which will help to keep their mind off of everything and stay healthy.
