Singer Litzy revealed that she suffers from fibromyalgia, a chronic and incurable illness that has caused various discomforts in her body. She described the pain as "like stalactites" that break and affect the muscles, causing inflammation and much pain. She has experienced symptoms such as sciatica and hip pain for years.
To alleviate the discomfort, Litzy has turned to different treatments such as acupuncture, massages, physiotherapy, swimming, walking, in addition to following a special diet and receiving psychological therapy. The artist emphasized that over time she has discovered that the illness has a strong emotional component.
In 2020, Litzy mentioned in an interview that fibromyalgia has caused her chronic fatigue, pain crises in her hands, trapezius, legs, and hips, even leading to several hospital visits. Despite the challenges, she has decided not to withdraw from her artistic career, as she believes that the illness, although chronic and incurable, will not stop her.
Since her father passed away three years ago, Litzy has changed her perspective on life. She received the diagnosis of fibromyalgia at 15 years old, a disease that sometimes limits her mobility and causes her intense pain. Despite considering retiring, the artist has continued to pursue her dreams of singing and acting.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that primarily affects women and is characterized by musculoskeletal pain, sleep problems, memory issues, fatigue, and mood changes. There is no cure, but there are medications and habits that can help manage some symptoms. Litzy mentioned that situations like stress or lack of sleep can trigger painful crises.
The singer has shared her experience with the illness to raise awareness about fibromyalgia and show that, despite the challenges, she continues to move forward with her artistic career.
