bodyA rare disease is any disease that affects a small percentage of a population. While you might have not heard of these lesser known diseases, these stars are using their voices to raise awareness and lessen the stigma for those fighting these conditions. Here are seven celebs with rare diseases: Missy Elliot The Get Ur Freak On rapper disappeared from the music scene in 2008 as a result of her struggle with Graves Disease Graves Disease is an autoimmune disease that causes an over activity of the thyroid gland and results in various symptoms such as muscle weakness, weight loss and eye disease. Elliot was diagnosed with the disease after experiencing hand tremors, in an interview with People magazine, she revealed her struggles saying that she could not “even use a pen.” Elliot has, with the help of radiation combined with medication, made her return to the stage and hopes to shed more light on the disease. Shannen Doherty Charmed actress Shannen Doherty has had her fair share of health problems. While you might know about her battle with cancer, she has not been very open about her one with Crohn's Disease. Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease resulting in the inflammation of the digestive and gastrointestinal tract. The most common symptoms include diarrhoea, weight loss and abdominal pain. However, the eyes and joints can also be affected. Venus Williams In 2011, after winning her first round at Wimbledon, tennis star Venus Williams retired, shortly after receiving the diagnosis of Sjögrens Syndrome. Sjögrens Syndrome is an autoimmune disease which results in the damaging of healthy parts of the body. It commonly affects the part of the body that produce fluids like tears and saliva although in some cases, nerves and joints as well. By drastically changing her diet to a raw vegan one, she was able to alleviate many of the symptoms associated with the disease. Speaking to Forks Over Knives, Williams stated that “chronic health conditions can be demoralizing and limiting. However, you have to see the glass as half full and always focus on what you can accomplish and not what you can’t.” Atticus Shaffer You might know Shaffer as Brick Heck, from the popular TV show, The Middle. Shaffer was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, a rare genetic defect that prevents the body from making strong and healthy bones. This results in bones that are so fragile, a person living with osteogenesis imperfecta can break hundreds of bones in their body within their lifetime. Shaffer opened up in an interview with Parade about living with his condition, “I just have to be cautious. But my message to people with or without a condition is the fact that you can still do anything you set your mind to. You just have to do it in a slightly different way than other people.” Toni Braxton Singer Toni Braxton has been extremely vocal about living with Lupus, an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the tissue in the organs it affects. The most common of symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, swollen glands, seizures and nausea. In an interview with Huffington Post, Braxton opened up about her struggle, "Some days I can't balance it all. I just have to lay in bed." Lady Gaga lady gaga The eccentric singer was forced to cancel a tour in 2017 as a result of her Synovitis. Synovitis is often confused with fibromyalgia as their symptoms are similar. Both include swollen joints, joint pain, fatigue and sensitivity to pain. However, with synovitis, pain only occurs when the joint is moved with the pain caused by fibromyalgia is constant. Fatigue is also a symptom of fibromyalgia that is not associated with synovitis. Gaga reportedly could not walk as a result of the disease and took some time off her grueling tour to regain her strength. Sarah Michelle Gellar Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar spoke out on her body dysmorphic disorder when asked in a Health magazine interview about her insecurities. Body dysmorphic disorder results in constant negative thoughts about one’s real or imagined flaws, causing the individual to see themself as ugly or disfigured. It often interferes with everyday life and can lead to depression and anxiety. Gellar revealed that while she avoids mirrors, she was making strides in coping with the disorder, “I just have to remember that I’m human and I’m a mom. Being a parent changes the vanity at least a little bit. It has to. Your priorities are different.”![460253a2a08f4b169af08d7208b6de21.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaj7PfCDSb2J9Ma57wctSsT1UsD2DtXq7HmjMDmozBQuq/460253a2a08f4b169af08d7208b6de21.gif)

bodyLovers of literature can rejoice: a new study combines the humanities and neuroscience to take a look at what effects reading a novel can have on the brain. Researchers say exploring a book can not only change your perspective, but also it can change your mind - at least for a few days. The researchers, from Emory University in Atlanta, GA, published their findings in the journal Brain Connectivity. Neuroscientist Gregory Berns, lead author and director of Emory's Center for Neuropolicy, says: "Stories shape our lives and in some cases help define a person. We want to understand how stories get into your brain, and what they do to it." To investigate the inner workings of the novel-reading mind, the researchers recruited 21 undergraduates from Emory, who were instructed to read a thriller written by Robert Harris in 2003, titled Pompeii. Based on the real-life eruption of Mount Vesuvius in ancient Italy, Berns explains that the narrative "follows a [fictional] protagonist, who is outside the city of Pompeii and notices steam and strange things happening around the volcano." While the protagonist tries to save the woman he loves back in Pompeii, the volcano continues to erupt, and meanwhile others in the city do not recognize the signs, Berns says. "It was important to us that the book had a strong narrative line," he explains, so that the study participants would read a book with an intriguing plot. Changes in language and sensory motor brain regions College student reading, lying outside on grass After performing fMRI scans, researchers found that reading a novel causes lasting effects in regions of the brain responsible for language receptivity and for making sensory representations of the body. For 19 days in a row, the study participants were analyzed by the researchers. For the first 5 days, the investigators performed base-line functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans on the students' brains while they were in a resting state. Then, over the course of 9 days, the students read specific portions of the novel until they completed it. Instructed to read each assigned part in the evening, the students came back to the researchers in the morning. In true college undergraduate style, they had to take a quiz in order to prove they had completed the assigned reading, after which, they again underwent an fMRI scan during a non-reading, resting state. After completion of the novel, the students then returned for 5 additional days, during which they again underwent scans while in a resting state. On the mornings after the reading sessions, the researchers observed heightened connectivity in the left temporal cortex, which is an area of the brain linked to receptivity for language. Berns explains that this heightened connectivity remained, even though the students were not reading the book while they were being scanned. "We call that a 'shadow activity,' almost like a muscle memory," he says. The investigators also noticed heightened connectivity in an area of the brain known as the central sulcus. This is a main sensory motor region of the brain, which is associated with making representations of sensation for the body. They explain that, for example, when we merely think about running, we can activate neurons in the brain that are associated with the actual physical motion of running. Neural changes are not just instant reactions Berns says their findings "suggest that reading a novel can transport you into the body of the protagonist." He adds: "We already knew that good stories can put you in someone else's shoes in a figurative sense. Now we're seeing that something may also be happening biologically." Interestingly, because the investigators observed these neural changes even 5 days after the students had finished the novel, Berns says the reactions were not simply instantaneous. Although he says the team is not sure how long these changes last, Berns notes that since they observed them while the students were reading a "randomly assigned novel suggests that your favorite novels could certainly have a bigger and longer-lasting effect on the biology of your brain."
