This is heart wrenching to see. Must be so hard for her to lose the ability to sing.

Does she mention what her diagnosis was, or is it a weird omission by OP?

I hope she’s able to perform again for her own sake. She’s been doing it for so long and I imagine it must feel awful to have your own body steal that from you.

It's stiff person syndrome.

It's not likely she will. Her muscles are never going to do what she needs then to do again. If IVIG isn't working for her, there isn't much else

Edit: I say this as someone that recently went through all the testing for this and lot of other neuro-muscular disorders

Mom and I watched that interview. I am not a hugger but I wanted to give her a big hug. You can tell how much she miss performing and how she doesn't want to disappoint the fans. 💔

How horrifying. She's been through so much.
