Moriarty shares health update after being diagnosed with Graves disease
Erin took to her official Instagram handle and wrote in her post, "Autoimmune disease manifests differently in everybody/everybody. Your experience will be different from mine. My experience will be different from yours. Perhaps greatly, perhaps minutely. One thing I can say: if I hadn’t chalked it all up to stress and fatigue, I would’ve caught this sooner".
She further added, "A month ago, I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease. Within 24 hours of beginning treatment, I felt the light coming back on. It’s been increasing in strength ever since. If yours is dimming, even slightly, go get checked. Don’t “suck it up” and transcend suffering; you deserve to be comfy. S***’s hard enough as is.”
The star had even uploaded a series of snaps, which included selfies and other moments from her life in recent months.
What is Graves disease?
According to the National Institutes of Health, Graves disease is an autoimmune disorder that can cause hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid. Thyroid hormones control the way your body uses energy, so they affect nearly every organ in your body, even the way your heart beats.
