Why Is Wendy Williams Eyes Popping And So Big? Graves Disease And Dimentia Update

Wendy Williams, the former talk show host, has recently been appearing differently due to her condition of physical appearance.

Wendy Williams was born July 18, 1964, and is an American former broadcaster, media personality, and writer.

From 2008 to 2021, she hosted the nationally syndicated television talk show The Wendy Williams Show.

She began career as a disc jockey working for the small, calypso and reggae oriented WVIS in Frederiksted, U.S. Virgin Islands.

Still, she disliked the role because she did not learn as much about radio from her colleagues as she expected.

After creating a profile, she attended parties to gain information which she would report on air and read tabloid newspapers.

She hosted a game show for GSN called Love Triangle, for which she and her husband, Kevin Hunter, served as executive producers.

Williams and her husband created “The Hunter Foundation” in 2014, a non-profit organization that funded anti-poverty programs and provided resources to people as they transitioned from drug addiction to recovery.

In 2014, Lipstick called Williams to participate in their first all-female-based comedy series at the Venetian in Las Vegas and also made her sold-out comedy debut on July 11, 2014.

Why Wendy Williams Eyes Popping And So Big?

Wendy Williams, the former talk show host, has faced several health issues that significantly impacted her physical appearance.

One noticeable change has been in her eyes, which has become a topic of concern among her fans.

Despite the changes in the eye, she was diagnosed with both Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism. These conditions are responsible for the dramatic change in her eyes.

On Instagram, Wendy Williams posts, “I’m tired of everyone speaking as if they’re me in this scenario. It’s time I let all of my loving supporters know what’s really been going on with Wendy”

As a result of these health issues, her eyes have increased in size and exhibit a bulging appearance.

On her talk show, The Wendy Williams Show, she candidly addressed her eye condition. She revealed that her thyroid had been “totally cattywampus,” leading to the noticeable eye change.

Wendy emphasized that her hyperthyroidism is connected to Graves’ disease, which affects the muscles behind the eyeballs. This squeezing effect causes the eyes to bulge.

She shared her perspective during an interview: “I love doing the show, but I love me more. So, I’m going to take care of me so that I can be there for them.”

Wendy Williams Graves Disease And Dementia Update

Wendy Williams also explains about Graves’ disease with the treatment and also about Dementia.

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid gland, leading to the overproduction of thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism).

Recent research has explored the relationship between Graves’ disease and the risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia.

Interestingly, hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) has also been linked to an increased risk of dementia.

Older individuals with hypothyroidism may face an 80% higher risk of developing dementia compared to those without thyroid problems.

This risk is even higher for individuals who require thyroid hormone replacement medication.

The treatment methods include Radioactive iodine therapy, beta-blockers, Anti-thyroid medications, and Thyroidectomy (surgery).
