Wendy Williams recently revealed that she was first diagnosed with Gravesâ disease â an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid â and hyperthyroidism 19 years ago. After seeing the doctor and having a slew of tests done, she is feeling back to her normal self.
She spoke to Good Morning America about her battle with the disease.
âWe, as women, particularly if â we have families, you know, weâre taking care of children, weâre taking care of, you know, home, our husbands, we take care of everybody but ourselves,â the chat show host told GMAâs Amy Robach.
âAnd itâs really unfortunate. And that â that is something that has no socioeconomic thing to it. No matter what â no matter what the womanâs status is, it seems like weâre all in the same boat,â she continued, adding that âIâm not doing that anymore.â
Williams also said âMy internist told me I am, if not the worst case of deficient vitamin D that sheâs ever seen in her career⊠I have vertigo, which Iâve had all my life and that was affecting my equilibrium. And it was just a mess going on inside of my body, but Iâm saved.â
Williams has now returned to her show.
