Graves' disease, an immune disorder, has been keeping Missy Elliott out of the hip-hop spotlight over the last three years, the singer recently told People magazine.
The Grammy winner was diagnosed with the disease in 2008, after she started experiencing problems with her motor skills, lumps in her throat, hair loss, mood swings, dizzy spells and bulging eyes, People reported.
