There once was a time when it seemed like every track on urban radio featured Missy and Timbaland. Missy's absence from the game has been noticeable recently, and now she reveals where she's been...
Though she did produce hits for her good friend Monica over the past two years, R&B fans may have noticed that Missy's musical output has slowed down over the past few years and now she reveals why.
In an article in PEOPLE Magazine, the "Work It" singer reveals that she was diagnosed with Graves disease in 2008 after she nearly crashed her car.
“I was (driving and) trying to put my foot on the brake, but my leg was jumping,” she told People magazine. “I couldn’t keep the brake down and almost crashed… I couldn’t write because my nervous system was so bad – I couldn’t even use a pen.”
Graves is an autoimmune disease that impacts the thyroid. Its symptoms include hyperactivity, insomnia, muscle weakness, and bulging eyes. Additional symptoms are hair loss and mood swings. Missy revealed that radiation therapy has helped with her struggle.
“I’m 30 pounds lighter because I’ve been exercising,” she says. “My thyroid is functioning, so I haven’t had to take medication in about nine months. (But) you live with it for the rest of your life.”
Wow. You just never know the things people are going through. Stay strong Missy!
