The Boys star Erin Moriarty recently opened up about her battle with Graves' disease on Instagram. The actress, who plays Starlight in Amazon Prime's hit superhero series, shared how the autoimmune condition impacted her health and emphasized the critical importance of early diagnosis.
Moriarty warned that autoimmune conditions like Graves' disease can significantly diminish one's well-being when left untreated but stressed that proper medical care can lead to significant recovery.
Erin Moriarty is candid about her experience with Graves' disease as she shared her journey on Instagram. The actress shared that she was diagnosed with Graves' disease 'a month ago' and noticed a difference 'within 24 hours' of starting treatment.
As per Mayo Clinic, 'Graves' disease is an immune system condition that affects the thyroid gland. It causes the body to make too much thyroid hormone. That condition is called hyperthyroidism.' The condition can affect several organs in the body.
Moriarty addressed the complicated nature of autoimmune conditions in her Instagram post. The True Detective star explained, 'Autoimmune disease manifests differently in everybody/every body. Your experience will be different from mine.'
Moriarty urged her followers not to delay seeking help as she did initially. The actress confessed, 'One thing I can say: if I hadn't chalked it all up to stress and fatigue, I would've caught this sooner. A month ago, I was diagnosed with Graves' disease. Within 24 hours of beginning treatment, I felt the light coming back on.'
The actress went on an optimistic description of her progress and recovery. The 30-year-old Red Widow star gushed, '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.'
Fans loved Moriarty's insightful take on Graves' disease and an effort to create awareness about autoimmune conditions. One user commented under the post, 'So happy you're on the road to healing.' Another fan wrote, 'It's not easy to share your diagnosis.'
