I was diagnosed when I was 16 it's awful I dont wish it on anybody. I had to have my Thyroid gland removed after a couple years of medications and radioactive iodine treatment. It was the best decision I made though to have it removed. I wish her the best with it! ❤

I'm diagnose with cancer, i have just 2 years to live, i've never been this scared to die, i'm just 35, i cry everyday wishing for a miracle to happen. i don't know why im saying this here. put me in your prayers.

[sirchadiusmaximusiii]

Graves disease is an autoimmune disorder that involves overactivity of the thyroid (hyperthyroidism). Hallmarks of the condition are bulging eyes (exophthalmos), heat intolerance, increased energy, difficulty sleeping, diarrhea and anxiety.

Oh Daisy😥 Sorry you have to go through this! I hope you will recovery and best for you💙

[benobrien]

I have it too. I am on medication for it but still feel tired all the time. Having ADHD (Inattentive) doesn't help either. Thoughts and prayers for anyone who is going through this.

[AlexTorres-oxxu]

Awww I hope she feel better soon sad to hear her condition May The Force Be With Her Always

[BrettSmashy]

Hopefully, she’ll eventually avoid all grains (lectins = leaky gut = inflammation) and all seed oils (damaged PUFAs = oxidative stress = inflammation) to keep her inflammation low.

I'm ina gluten free diet due to unknown stomach problems and noticed a huge difference. Joints don't hurt as much and no tummy ache

[babybruce]

I’m so sorry baby/ you’ll always be my crush

[Fokfeesspecial]

Well done Daisey stay on the gluten free diet. If that's not enough go enterily on a grain free, diet. All auto immune diseases can take up years ....

[jeffstrawn]

What we know about Graves’ disease what makes it tick

[TChighbury]

"These are not the thyroids you are looking for"

[edyr]

Daisy Ridley has graves diseas- ? No way
I hope they are wrong, was a misdiagnosis

[redbunnytail]

I think movie need to try go 'small' and 'smaller' than big and bigger and biggest. You know? Video game make a lot of money from small, as in like the epic games, 'Dark Souls' and 'Sekiro, ' both from From Software, which is a Japanese company, known for awesome game. They work with small and they make 'small' into a 'big' experience. You start off at this shrine, and you no travel to another planet, you work your way around the vicinity in a twisty way, until you find 'short cut' back to original, all the while learning the most challenging combat system. It this idea of an Escher 3d design, use the 'space' much more skillfully. Unless it 'Avengers, ' someone need to take it easy on acting talent, especially when they have note from physician, like Ridley.

I didn't get into Star Wars intul Acolyte and watched Force Awakens last week. Terrible news

[johnboko]

Not a fan of her acting and that Rey character in Star Wars she portrayed but she is a beautiful Woman and I'm sorry to hear that.

[PHN-]

Well, The "Force" Failed Daisy Like it did with Carrie Fisher once DISNEY took over.

[annaczgli]

Don't know. Dont care.
Stopped watching her after the trainwreck that was the last Star Wars.
