Selena
was
diagnosed
with
lupus,
an
incurable
autoimmune
disorder
that
attacks
tissues
and
organs,
in
2014.
Symptoms,
such
as
joint
pain,
are
felt
during
flares,
or
periods
of
increased
disease
activity.
They
can
be
reduced
with
medications,
many
of
which
come
with
side
effects.
Selena,
who
underwent a
kidney
transplant
in
2017
as
a
result
of
her
lupus,
has
not
specified
what
prescription
drugs
she
takes
for
the
disease.
She addressed
fan
concerns
over
her
health
on
TikTok
in
January,
telling
a
fan, “I
shake
because
of
my
medication
of
lupus.“
The “Calm
Down”
singer has
long
shared
body
positive
messages
amid
years
of
criticism
over
her
looks.
“Today
I
realized
I’ll
never
look
like
this
again,”
Selena
wrote
on
her
Instagram
Stories,
also
in
January,
alongside
an
old
bikini
shot
of
herself,
before
adding
with
a
more
recent
snap: “I’m
not
perfect
but
I
am
proud
to
be
who
I
am—sometimes
I
forget
it’s
ok
to
be
me.”
Selena
is
among
several
celebs
who
have
been
candid
about
their
past
cosmetic
procedures
and
treatments.
