Erin Moriarty, known for her role in Amazon Prime's 'The Boys', recently revealed her diagnosis with Graves' disease on Instagram, stressing the need to be vigilant about health. Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder where the thyroid gland produces excessive hormones, affecting about 1% of the U.S. population and being more prevalent in women. Experts noted that genetic and environmental factors could contribute, with symptoms often dismissed as stress initially. Moriarty's call to action emphasizes health awareness and the importance of not ignoring discomfort.
If I hadn't chalked it all up to stress and fatigue, I would've caught this sooner…the message is to pay close attention to your own health.
Graves' disease occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone…an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the thyroid.
Research suggests genetic predisposition and environmental factors contribute to Graves' disease, with women being more affected than men.
Too much thyroid hormone makes everything in the body go fast, causing potential ill effects on health.
