Shania Twain details how Lyme disease affected her career: 'I thought I'd lost my voice forever'
Shania Twain revealed how a Lyme disease diagnosis affected her career in the Netflix documentary "Not Just a Girl." Twain, 56, was diagnosed with the disease after being bitten by a tick while horseback riding in 2003. Years later, the country music star explained her symptoms, which she characterized as "quite scary." "Before I was diagnosed, I was on stage very dizzy," Twain said in the documentary (via Page Six). "I was losing my balance, I was afraid I was gonna fall off the stage." "I was having these very, very, very millisecond blackouts, but regularly, every minute or every 30 seconds," she continued.
