Former US talk show host Wendy Williams, 59, has expressed gratitude towards her fans for their overwhelming support following her recent dementia and aphasia diagnosis. Williams, known for hosting the Wendy Williams Show for over a decade, thanked her fans for their love and kind words in response to her health challenges. Her care team confirmed the diagnosis last year, after she had been open about previous medical struggles with Graves' Disease and Lymphedema. Aphasia, a nervous system syndrome affecting communication, and frontotemporal dementia, an incurable brain disorder affecting language abilities, were the diagnoses. These conditions, which worsen over time, have prompted Williams to step back from her professional endeavors. The National Institutes of Health note that patients with frontotemporal dementia experience progressive symptoms that can only be managed, not prevented. Williams' announcement sheds light on her health struggles and the need for compassion and understanding.
