In Williams absence, reruns from the talk show will air.

Symptoms

On Wednessay, Williams told her audience that she is feeling like there are birds flying around her head, like a cartoon. She discussed other symptoms, urging women not to neglect their health and to get regular check-ups.

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes overstimulation of the thyroid. It can lead to puffy eyes, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia and elevated blood pressure.

In October, Williams passed out on her show after “overheating” in a Halloween costume.
