Star Wars’ Daisy Ridley reveals she’s been diagnosed with chronic autoimmune disease at 32​

Published Aug 6, 2024, 9:37pm

Daisy Ridley has revealed she’s been diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease.

The 32-year-old Rey Skywalker actress first discovered she had Graves’ disease in September 2023 when she went to her doctor after bouts of hot flashes and fatigue following filming of the psychological thriller Magpie.

The condition occurs in four out of five people with an overactive thyroid gland, where their immune system produces antibodies that cause the production of too much thyroid hormone.

Symptoms can include difficulty sleeping, fatigue and weakness, change in vision or pain in the eye, and heart palpitations.

Coronavirus as a Trigger Of Graves’ Disease​

Published online 2021. doi: 10.4183/aeb.2021.413
PMCID: PMC8919476

Context​

SARS-CoV-2 infection was declared a pandemic in 2020 and affected millions of people worldwide. Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 receptors, through which coronavirus enters the cells of different organs, have been detected in the thyroid gland. The most common cause of thyrotoxicosis is Graves’ disease in which thyroid-receptors antibodies (TRAb) stimulate the TSH receptor, increasing thyroid hormone production and release.

Case presentation​

A 22-year-old woman had symptoms of palpitation, tremor, muscle weakness, anxiety and sleep disturbance. 3 weeks before the onset of these symptoms, the patient suffered from COVID-19, which lasted 14 days and was characterized by a course of moderate severity with fever up to 38°C, general weakness without shortness of breath. The patient had no pre-existing thyroid problems. Her TSH was <0.01 mU/L, FT4, FT3 and TRAb were increased. Antithyroid drugs, glucocorticosteroids and β-blockers were prescribed. During 3 months of treatment doses of methimazole, methylprednisolone and bisoprolol were gradually reduced due to the improvement of the patient’s condition and thyroid tests normalization.

Conclusions​

COVID-19 infection can cause Graves’ disease and thyrotoxicosis. The onset of this disease after SARS-CoV-2 does not depend on the presence of pre-existing thyroid pathology and requires the appointment of glucocortisteroids.

COVID-19 AND THE THYROID
Early-onset Graves’ disease after COVID-19 vaccination responds rapidly to low-dose methimazole


BACKGROUND
COVID-19 infection has been associated with the development of several endocrine problems including different forms of thyroiditis and Graves’ disease. The likely reasons for this include the virus directly attaching thyroid cells and the increase in activation of the immune system and increasing antibodies during and after COVID-19 infection. This is because both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are usually caused by antibodies attacking the thyroid.

COVID-19 infection has been associated with the development of several endocrine problems including different forms of thyroiditis and Graves' disease. There have been some case reports of the development of autoimmune thyroid problems following COVID-19 vaccination. This study examined the...
