Britney Spears has revealed that she’s suffering from an incurable illness that causes severe pain and numbness.
Taking to Instagram, the 40-year-old singer told her 41.7 million followers that she has nerve damage on one side of her body and it affects her sleep.
While there is no cure for it, the superstar said that dancing can help relieve the pain of the symptoms.
“I’m dancing in time now Victoria … yes … nerve damage on the right side of my body … there’s no cure except God I guess,” she wrote.
“nerve damage is caused sometimes when you don’t get enough oxygen to your brain … your brain literally shuts down … blah blah blah old story … in that place I didn’t breathe when I was there … nerve damage causes parts of your body to go numb.”
The Toxic hitmaker also revealed how her condition wakes her up with her hands completely numb. She also experiences feelings of ‘pins and needles’ on the affected side of her body.
“It shoots up to my neck and the part that hurts the worst is my temple on my head … it stings and it’s scary,” Britney went on, adding how the past few years since she managed to get out of “that place I’ve been in a mild unconscious state … I couldn’t face it.”
‘That place’ seems to be a reference to a medical facility where she was forcefully put into in 2019.
Sharing how she doesn’t feel the symptoms when she dances, she added: “It’s like my mind literally goes to a place of my inner child. And although I don’t move like I use to … I truly believe my faith in it gave me strength … by the grace of God I finally found a medication where I actually feel oxygen going to my brain and through my neck.”
