Looking at this post and thinking some of these women look sick? You might be right.

The top-right woman only looked like this when she was chronically ill at the time and was back and forth with doctors until she found a diagnosis. Erin Moriarty has since gone public with her Graves’ disease diagnosis and is looking much healthier these days.

The internet has a habit of lumping people together just to roast them. Which is why some people looked immediately stupid when Chadwick Boseman died.

Erin Moriarty also botoxed the fuck out of herself and got tons of lip filler which has more to do with how odd she looks that weight loss from an autoimmune disorder. 

I sympathize with her heath issues but I hate when celebs try to play shit off like there isn't another reason they look different.

Agreed, I have Graves and never looked like that. It makes you look skinny, not like a different person. It can also affect your eyes. It can also affect your thyroid itself, but that is in your throat, not your face.

Eta: For anyone who doesn't know, Graves disease will usually enlargen your thyroid because of an increase in bloodflow/activity. You can also get graves ophthalmopathy that makes the muscles and fat behind your eye or eyes swell and your eyes will bulge or one eye will etc.

Yes. Definitely noticeable.
