Solange Knowles Opens Up: Coping With Chronic Health Challenges

In 2018, Solange Knowles was told she had three [3] different chronic conditions.

This was made known on Instagram by the singer-songwriter sister of Beyoncé.

Shaun Ross, a model and musician, wrote a post about his experiences with long Covid, which Solange Knowles responded to.

She responded by writing: Shaun, I am sending you so much love and strength, as well as to everyone who is struggling with the debilitating, confusing, and lonely symptoms of POTS in the comments!

She went on to say: In 2018, I was diagnosed with POTS, Sjogren’s, and Mcas, so I can empathize with the desire not to let one’s health become one’s identity.

“The good people at [Dysautonomia International] were an amazing resource for me, and I am very thankful to the spoonie community for supporting me during my times of total uncertainty! Sending you a great deal of love!”

Postural tachycardia syndrome, also known as POTS, is a chronic condition characterized by an abnormally rapid heart rate when sitting or standing.

The chronic autoimmune condition known as Sjogren’s syndrome causes the body’s moisture-producing glands to malfunction, frequently resulting in dry eyes and mouth.

Mast cell activation syndrome, also known as Mcas, is a condition in which a person experiences numerous severe allergic reactions. The skin, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurologic systems, as well as the heart, can all be affected by the symptoms.
