Camilla Luddington Reveals Hashimoto's Disease Diagnosis

Camilla Luddington, who plays Dr. Jo Wilson on Grey's Anatomy, has disclosed her diagnosis of Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune disorder affecting the thyroid gland. She shared on her podcast that symptoms like extreme fatigue, feeling cold, and sluggishness led to the diagnosis after routine bloodwork. Luddington had previously attributed these symptoms to aging, motherhood, or perimenopause, and expressed both shock and relief upon learning the cause. Hashimoto's is a common condition, particularly among women, and is typically managed with hormone replacement therapy. Luddington is currently undergoing treatment and hopes for improvement as she manages the disease. She aims to raise awareness and reduce stigma around persistent health issues by sharing her experience.
