Watch: Camilla Luddington Missed Her "Grey's Anatomy" AuditionCamilla Luddington is opening up about her medical journey. The Grey's Anatomy star shared that she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, explaining that the autoimmune disease-which causes low levels of thyroid hormone in your body, per the Cleveland Clinic-is in part responsible for how tired she felt all the time. "As long as you've been listening to us, you've known that I joke about being slothy," Camilla explained on her iHeartRadio Call It What It Is podcast Aug. 6. "Slower, tired. Wanna be in bed. Love a nap." And while the 41-year-old plays a doctor on TV alongside her podcast cohost Jessica Capshaw, it never occurred that there could be a medical reason for her constant exhaustion. But when she went in for her yearly bloodwork to "make sure everything is good," the doctors gave her the diagnosis. "My doctor was like, 'Everything looks great except this one little thing,' Camilla recalled. "And I remember hearing the words 'autoimmune disease' and thinking, 'What the f-k.' And then being told that I had something called Hashimoto's hypothyroidism and that it was very common."readWhat Grey's Anatomy's Camilla Luddington Has to Say About Season 22 After Shocking Finale And while she admits she "was a little freaked out" by the diagnosis, ultimately she felt relieved. "I felt like I had the answer for something that I've been knowing is going on," the podcaster continued. "And I have health anxiety, so there was a part of me that was like, 'Am I gaslighting myself?'" For now, Camilla is taking the necessary medication and hopes to start feeling normal again soon.

Jessica took a page from Finding Nemo, joking that Camilla was going to "just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming." As for why Camilla wanted to share her diagnosis? She explained the goal of their podcast was always to be as open and honest as they could be with their listeners. "We set out to share all the things in the hopes that sharing our stories might resonate with somebody else," she added, "or make somebody feel a little less alone in their experience."
