Joe Manganiello spent "months and months heavily medicated" during a lengthy battle with a "deadly mystery illness".
The Magic Mike actor has written a memoir, Bloodlines, in which he will detail "a cascade of autoimmune-related illnesses" which affected his skin, thyroid, eyes, lungs and digestive system but before the release of the tome, he has reflected on the years of unsuccessful treatments he undertook, which left him "mutilated" and at times unable to walk.
