Erin Moriarty gave a health update to her fans and revealed that she is currently battling an autoimmune disorder called Graves’ disease.

The Boys actress, 30 – who quit social media amid plastic surgery allegations last year – jumped to Instagram this week to get candid with her 2 million followers about her own ‘experience.’

The star uploaded a series of snaps, which included selfies and other moments from her life in recent months.

‘Autoimmune disease manifests differently in everybody/every body,’ Moriarty penned in the caption. ‘Your experience will be different from mine. My experience will be different from yours. Perhaps greatly, perhaps minutely.

‘One thing I can say: if I hadn’t chalked it all up to stress and fatigue, I would’ve caught this sooner. A month ago, I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease.’

Wendy Williams is another celebrity who has been open about her battle with the autoimmune disorder, as well as Daisy Ridley and Missy Elliott.

The disease is caused by an overproduction of thyroid hormones – with some symptoms being fatigue, bulging eyes, heart palpitations, and anxiety, per Mayo Clinic.

Erin explained that following the diagnosis, she began undergoing treatment for her symptoms which has turned her life around.

‘Within 24 hours of beginning treatment, I felt the light coming back on. It’s been increasing in strength ever since.’

In conclusion, the actress encouraged on getting health checks and wrote, ‘If yours is dimming, even slightly, go get checked. Don’t “suck it up” and transcend suffering; you deserve to be comfy. S**t’s hard enough as is.’

In some of the selfies included in the post, Moriarty flashed small smiles towards the camera while other images showed her looking tired.

Erin further showed her struggles with symptoms in text message conversations she previously had with her parents.

While talking to her mom, the actress had typed out: ‘I’m serious; I really really need relief. I feel nauseated tonight. I feel so s**t and removed from who I am, I can’t live like this forever. Or that long.

‘There aren’t moments anymore, not even a passing 5 seconds, when I feel normal. I’ve never had that. Not one.’

Moriarty had emotionally added, ‘It’s not just fatigue – it’s an ineffable, system wide cry for help and I don’t know how long I can remain in this state.’

She also shared a screenshot of a text that she sent to her dad seemingly after she had started treatment.

It read: ‘I already feel a world of a difference, primary thought (as of now): “d**m, this is how I’m supposed to feel? I’ve been missing out!” xx.’

Erin is known for her role in the Amazon Prime Video series The Boys as Annie January/Starlight.

She has also starred in other shows including Marvel’s Jessica Jones, True Detective and Red Widow.

Moriarty has appeared in a number of films over the years such as The Kings Of Summer, Captain Fantastic and Catching Dust.

Earlier last year in January, the actress notably quit social media after Megyn Kelly accused her of being ‘obsessed’ with plastic surgery.

Kelly had stated at the time, ‘She’s got the Kim Kardashian lips, she’s made her nose so skinny, it looks like a pencil now… I find it like a sign of mental illness.’

Megyn also added, ‘She’s got, like, what appear[s] to me to be cheek implants. More and more young women are doing this.

‘It’s not about an objection to plastic surgery, it’s about an obsession with turning yourself into this fake version of yourself… I find it like a sign of mental illness.

‘It’s extremely upsetting. It’s just a massive turnoff to me. I really want to get in the heads of these young girls and say, “Please don’t do this.”‘

In response, Moriarty penned a lengthy statement while also announcing that she would be taking taking an ‘extensive, if not permanent’ break from Instagram.

Erin wrote to her fans, ‘The only reason I have not deactivated my account is because I will be leaving this here. Otherwise, consider it deactivated. I will not have access to it for an extensive if not permanent break.

‘Social media is not something that came naturally to me and that was an investment of energy to connect with you guys.’

The actress said she was ‘horrified by the reaction, the reductive assumptions, and the aforementioned video [of Kelly’s comments] that is a primary example of such harassment.

‘It’s broken my heart. You’ve broken my heart. You’ve lost the privilege of this account.’

Moriarty continued, ‘The way that this has been spoken about, the way that I have been spoken to, I will not accept. I have been in a hole and I’ve been consumed by this personal situation at hand.

‘You never know what someone is going through, social media is a platform that is not representative of a whole person, and irregardless there is no excuse for the words that have been spoken directly to me or about me.’

The star explained at the time that she had recently undergone a stressful time which resulted her in losing weight.

‘You learn to become Teflon and move on – I had NO idea what was going on this time.

Not long after leaving social media, the actress was seen in Los Angeles for a solo outing. The Boys actress made her return to Instagram one week later; seen in May in L.A.

‘To receive a message about a disgustingly false, counterproductive to the degree of being ironically misogynistic video of Megyn Kelly commenting on the manner – to learn the widespread nature of this has left me horrified.’

She also added, ‘How utterly misinformed, inaccurate, and clickbait seeking people who we follow and consider to be informed is appalling…’
