Oh No! Solange Reveals She Has Autonomic Disorder
Solange canceled her performance at AfroPunk in South Africa due to being diagnosed with autonomic disorder. The singer, and sister of Beyonce, announced the news on Instagram this week. “
The past five months I have been quietly treating, and working through an Autonomic Disorder. It’s been a journey that hasn’t been easy on me,” she captioned a photo of herself. “Sometimes I feel cool, and other times not so cool at all. It’s a complicated [diagnosis], and I’m still learning so much myself, but right now, my doctors are not clearing me for such an extended lengthy flight, and doing a rigorous show right after.”
“This past year has been one of the most fulfilling of my life… Performing this record and experiencing the energy exchange with you guys has been astounding, and I’m so excited about continuing to do the work I feel so absolutely humbled and appreciative to be doing next year,” she ended the emotional caption. “It gives me life.”
According to physicians at NYU Langone’s Dysautonomia Center, there are several different types of autonomic disorders, but the overall impact of the disorder is the body having difficulty regulating certain internal organ fuctions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion and body temperature.
