In her 2012 memoir “Deep Thoughts From a Hollywood Blonde” Garth opened up about suffering crippling anxiety. She went as far as to say that she nearly became agoraphobic at one point (via E! Online). Three years after her more recent diagnosis, Garth revealed some major updates regarding her health that she’s taking in stride.

Now revealing her diagnosis to the public years after she initially received it, Garth opened up about both the triumphs and struggles related to the degenerative joint disease. Upon undergoing multiple X-rays and an MRI, Garth remembers feeling like she was “too young” for the diagnosis. With time, Garth has chocked her early-onset diagnosis up as “a new, interesting development in [her] maturing.”
She also shared some things that have helped alleviate the symptoms of pain in her fingers, hands and knees. Notably, the list included stretching, hiking, and playing golf. The actress also collaborated with Volteran Gel, which is supposed to help with arthritis pain, to film an advert (via Instagram).
