"She&amp;apos;s still workin&amp;apos; it!&amp;#xA0;\r\nMissy Elliot might have Graves&amp;apos; disease, but it&amp;apos;s sure not holding her back.\r\n\r\nThe 39-year-old hiphop star was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease three years ago. Its symptoms can include nervousness, tremors, excessive sweating, weight loss and palpitations. &amp;quot;It really hasn&amp;apos;t slowed me down at all,&amp;quot; Elliot said in a statement.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I rocked my performance on VH1 Hip Hop Honors&amp;apos; tribute to Timbaland last year,&amp;quot; she added. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve written and produced a bunch of Grammy-nominated, number one hits for artists like Keyshia Cole, Monica and Jasmine Sullivan. I toured the UK, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe &amp;quot;Get Ur Freak On&amp;quot; singer has even been off medication for about a year. &amp;quot;On top of all that, I&amp;apos;m working on my new album,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I feel great&amp;#x2026; I&amp;apos;m completely managing the condition through diet and exercise.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
