'Grey’s Anatomy’ Star Opens Up About Diagnosis For The First Time: ‘I Knew Something Was Up’

Camilla Luddington, best known for her portrayal of Dr. Jo Wilson on “Grey’s Anatomy,” confirmed this week that she has Hashimoto’s disease.

The actor discussed her diagnosis on Wednesday’s episode of the iHeart podcast “Call It What It Is,” which she hosts with her “Grey’s” co-star Jessica Capshaw.

“You’ve known that I joke about being slothy, just a little slower,” Luddington said. “Slower, tired, wanna be in bed, love a nap. It never occurred to me that there could be a medical reason for that, and that’s where we’ve landed.”

She went on to note that routine blood work she’d been putting off helped lead to her diagnosis.

“My doctor was like, ‘Everything looks great, except this one little thing,‘” she recalled. “And I remember hearing the words ‘autoimmune disease’ and thinking, ‘What the fuck?’ And then being told that I had something called Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism and that it was very common.”
