What disease does Gina Rodriguez have?

Gina Rodriguez was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism at age 19 and was later diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease at age 26.

What is Hashimoto’s disease?

Hashimoto’s disease is when the immune system attacks the thyroid gland.

The inflammation of the thyroid causes a leak resulting in excess thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism). The inflammation prevents the thyroid from producing enough hormones (hypothyroidism).

Does Hashimoto’s disease have a cure?

Luckily, people with Hashimoto’s disease take medication to treat hypothyroidism. If you have mild hypothyroidism, you may have no treatment but get regular TSH tests to monitor thyroid hormone levels.
