Although she did not initially specify her ailments, she included links to the Lupus Research Alliance and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in her post.

In a subsequent post, Halsey revealed more about her health struggles. She disclosed that she was diagnosed with Lupus SLE and a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder in 2022, both of which will likely stay with her for life.

She previously discussed her experiences with endometriosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, Sjogren’s syndrome, and mast cell activation syndrome.
