MISSY ELLIOT TALKS ON HER ILLNESS!

Hip-hop star Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott revealed last week that she has been battling Graves’ Disease for the past three years.

In an interview with People magazine, Elliott divulged that she was diagnosed with the disease, an autoimmune illness that affects the thyroid, in 2008.
“I couldn’t write because my nervous system was so bad – I couldn’t even use a pen. I couldn’t keep the brake down [while driving] and I almost crashed.”
“I’m 30 pounds lighter because I’ve been exercising,” she said. “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.”
“There have been some inaccuracies reported in regards to my diagnosis with Graves’ Disease, so I wanted to clear things up,” she said in statement. “I was diagnosed with Graves’ Disease about three years ago but it really hasn’t slowed me down at all.
“I rocked my performance on VH1 Hip Hop Honors’ tribute to Timbaland last year. I’ve written and produced a bunch of Grammy-nominated, #1 hits for artists like Keyshia Cole, Monica and Jasmine Sullivan. I toured the UK, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. And on top of all that, I’m working on my new album.”

Missy’s seventh studio album, Block Party, with producer and rapper Timbaland, is scheduled to be released in 2011.
