Fans and followers of actress Sunshine Cruz got a bit worried after Sunshine revealed that she was diagnosed with an auto immune disease called myasthenia gravis.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes muscle weakness, primarily affecting the voluntary muscles, including those controlling eye movement, facial expressions, swallowing, and breathing.

On Instagram, Sunshine posted a couple of photos and videos with the following message:

“It’s been a real roller coaster these past months. I was diagnosed with an auto immune disease called myasthenia gravis which has made building muscle a real struggle.

But I’m so thankful for the strength I’ve found. Thank you @coach.iya. Walking for Bench was a powerful reminder of what’s possible even when things are tough.

To all my fellow moms and Gen Xers, never give up on your dreams. Thank you Sir @bcbench for making mine a reality.

I’m so honored to be part of the Bench family. The show was incredible. Everyone was AMAZING!”
