Oprah Opens Up About Her Thyroid Condition
 |
Mandy @ Gone Hollywood | Wednesday, October 17, 2007 |
Oprah Winfrey has been appearing on her show more tired and heavier than usual, and the fans have taken notice. It turns out the reason is a thyroid condition. Oprah says she “literally … blew out my thyroid”.
In the latest issue of O Magazine, Oprah writes,
“My body was turning on me. First hyperthyroidism, which sped up my metabolism and left me unable to sleep for days. (Most people lose weight. I didn’t.) Then hypothyroidism, which slowed down my metabolism and made me want to sleep all the time. (Most people gain weight. I did! Twenty pounds!).”
“I decided to ‘out’ myself about my thyroid because I wanted so many other women who are going through the same thing to check on yourself and recognize. It’s an issue that we all share in common, especially if you’re of a certain age.”
But it’s Oprah - nothing can hold her down. I’m sure she’ll back at it in no time.
