How is it possible to tour with an unpredictable chronic illness?

[Tan Fei 1,324]

its still possible with better time n health management. 

[NIghtmareElm 2,606]

She seriously needs to take a break.  All she ever does is work.  

 

2009-2011: Two tours.  TFB and TMB.

2012-2013: BTWB.

2014: ARTPOP Ball

2014-2015: C2C Tour.

2017: JWT

Not to mention album cycles, cameos in two movies, two seasons of AHS, SBHT, and filming a whole movie.  I appreciate her working so hard and being devoted all the time, but how is this healthy working non stop?  The only time she ever took a break was to heal her injury after BTWB.  Not trying to degrade her or anything but she will seriously injure herself again if she doesn't take a year break.  I don't mean taking a break to work on new music, I mean to just enjoy her massive home, lay out in the sun, and just watch TV.  I would love a new Gaga album next year but not at the expensive of her shortening her career.  Does anyone work non stop like she does?  Gaga seriously needs to rest her body and her mind.  I think she is like a an addict.  Instead of being addicted to a substance, she's addicted to preforming.  For her sake, I want her to take a long break of doing nothing.  

Just cancel the JWT.  I'm afraid it might literally kill her.  Gaga is the most incredible performer on the planet but she is just human.  The human body can only take so much.

I'm not a doctor, nor do I study medicine or the body, but as unpredictable as it may be, I don't know if, realistically, she'll be able to do a lot more touring in the future. I'm sure more will be revealed with the documentary, but as for now, I'm not sure. 

Honestly though, I wouldn't be surprised if she cancelled the rest of her tour, but the thing I worry about most is Gaga's health and well being. First, in the serve pain she's in, that's definitely physically exhausting for her to endure, but also for her mentally and emotionally, I'm sure she's devastated by the fact that she had to postpone the tour, I can only imagine what if must feel like if she were to cancel the tour.

I just hope that she'll be okay in the end. She's a fighter, I know she'll be able to get through this

I am sure she wouldn't know what her triggers are yet either. She has to live her life but she needs to make adjustments. This is why her choreo is alot more restricted these days.

Read this to help Lady Gaga heal her fibromyalgia.

My mom sent me this today. She's all into health and physical well being. It's extremely eye opening to Gaga's condition as well as all cases of fibromyalgia.

Its so sad. Honestly I think in the beginning, she was nonstop and burned fast and BRIGHT and the damaging effects from those early year are still unfolding before her... its tragic. I mean remember this horrible video of her performing to near exhaustion?

 

 

I read its genetic... but it can also come from emotional and physical trauma. I fear she physically exhausted herself in those early years, obvious to the point where she broke her damn hip. And on top of it she faced all the emotional trauma from the ARTPOP era. It all is really clear that she has been sttruggling for some years now. I just am glad she is taking a break before she ever gets back to a point like this. Sadly tehre is no cure and many doctors will even deny it cause its not observable. But lets all pray she gets better and destresses. she needs a mfcuking break

This is why she deserves a long term rest tbh, It's just insane the way they've managed her career.

Hope she can figure out a way to continue with her career in a more peaceful and least stressing way.

I do think she has the best doctors and seems confident that she will be able to perform in 7 weeks. What she has is serious, and this break is the best thing for her, but I think we as a fanbase tend to get hysterical sometimes.

[Gagaloo911 12,959]

Ugh, just thinking about it makes me wanna cry. She doesn't deserve this, she works so hard for what she does and what she has accomplished. She deserves to do what she loves, which is perform...

[PrinceGaga 7,585]

I do think her tours in the future will be much less physically demanding. She is known for her dancing/singing ability and high energy tours like TMB and BTWB but I feel like (and you can even see it in the JWT) that she has become a lot less dance-orientated and more focussed on her vocals. I know she loves performing and I feel like she would literally die if she couldn't as she HAS to perform, it's a part of her. She needs to do what is best for her and I honestly would love it if she would end up like Elton John, really. Piano/vocal focussed rather than with dancing, which is so physically demanding.

[Sailor 3,321]

Performing is her life. That's what she loves to do.

I hate to say it, but I feel like she will do it until she drops dead, regardless of the pain she's in, which is so irresponsible of her.

Don't forget New Kids on the Block, Doll Domination Tour, and the Dive bar tour.

I imagine her insurance rates are gonna go through the roof from now on. It's her second postponed (cancelled?) tour due to health issues. I bet her touring style is going to change drastically.

I read online that flare ups can last from a few days to a few months. Her disorder is very unpredictable and it doesn't seem like there is much that can be done to control or reduce the length and severity of flare ups. How does Gaga know she will be better in exactly 7 weeks?  What is going to happen in these next 7 weeks that is going to prevent this type of situation from happening again? How is it possible to have physical obligations with this type of disorder?

If Gaga doesn't get some type of treatment that works for her, I have a feeling this may be her last tour, or at least her last physically demanding tour. Is she even able to get touring insurance if she has this type of condition and keeps cancelling shows? 

I just keep thinking that her doctor's think she has something in addition to fibromyalgia, like lupus. Im not trying to say that fibromyalgia isn't bad enough to cause her to be out of commission for this long, because it definitely is. Im thinking that maybe she needs that specific amount of time to go through some type of treatment cycle, like chemotherapy (which is a treatment for autoimmune disorders). 

I know that Gaga loves performing more than anything, and she would probably be miserable if she couldn't do it anymore. So, I guess that's why she is touring despite how difficult it is for her. 

I just have so many questions and I am really worried about her. I'm happy that she said she will explain what is happening to her in more detail when she feels better. Im not saying she owes us this information. I just feel so unsettled not knowing what's going on and what kind of a state she is in right now 

This was such a ramble sorry 

 I worry about much of the same things

[Ada 1,665]

I learned about this illness here because of the wonderful people that shared their experiences, so I can't be of help. But I wanted to say that you don't need to be sorry, I know how worried you are (since even before she revealed her illness) and you can count on me if you're feeling down and wanna talk (be it about this or whatever). 

Spoiler

and I'm sorry I forgot about you on the Barcelona thread  you're a sweetheart I love u
