Star Wars star Daisy Ridley took to Instagram this past Thursday to share a bit of a personal story with fans. In her post, the 24-year-old English actress describes her struggles with endometriosis and polycystic ovaries syndrome. Originally at the age of 15, she was diagnosed with endometriosis and later with polycystic ovaries syndrome, which would explain why she was struggling so severely with her skin.
She explains that for a large portion of her life she has dealt with the pain and skin issues with virtually no success in lessening the symptoms. But finally, she tells fans, progress is being made with the help of dermatologists and dietary adjustments. Although she’s not too happy about cutting out sugar an dairy, Daisy is ecstatic about the progress she has made towards healthier skin.
“To any of you who are suffering with anything, go to a doctor; pay for a specialist; get your hormones tested, get allergy testing; keep on top of how your body is feeling and don’t worry about sounding like a hypochondriac,” She said in her caption. “We only have one body, let us mall make sure ours is working in tip top condition.”
