The eight-time Grammy winner has previously revealed that she suffers from Morgellons disease, a controversial illness that most believe is only the psychological delusion that one is infected with parasites.

"I'm a polio survivor, so I know how conservative the medical body can be," Mitchell toldThe Los Angeles Times in 2010. "In America, the Morgellons is always diagnosed as 'delusion of parasites,' and they send you to a psychiatrist. I'm actually trying to get out of the music business to battle for Morgellons sufferers to receive the credibility that's owed to them."
