She also took a week off after first announcing her Graves’ Disease diagnosis — a condition that causes the immune system to attack the thyroid — in early 2018.

“My thyroid has been totally cattywampus,” Williams she told her live audience at the time. “I feel like there are birds swimming around my head … Constantly high. But not high,” she added.

“My doctor has prescribed — are you ready? Three weeks of vacation. I was pissed. Encore performances, really?”
