Yolanda Foster Gives Lyme Disease Update, Says She’s Happy To Still Be Alive


Yolanda Foster may still be fighting Lyme disease, but she’s still alive, and for that, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is grateful. On May 16, the reality star and mother of three took to Instagram, where she shared an update on her struggles with fans.

“Woke up not to cute with some aches and pains but I WOKE UP…….. #MyUniform #WaitingForACure #ChronicLymeDisease.”

Along with her message to fans, Yolanda Foster posted a photo of herself in her bathroom. In the picture, she was wearing a white robe, and her hair was seen looking a bit out of place. However, Yolanda Foster’s hair isn’t exactly a priority right now.

In 2012, Yolanda Foster was diagnosed with Lyme disease, and ever since a 2014 relapse, she has been struggling to regain her normal brain and body function. In a blog in late December, Foster opened up about the relapse, claiming she was no longer able to read or write, and after that, she failed to participate in her Bravo blog until her final entry was shared weeks ago, as the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 5 came to an end.

As the Inquisitr previously reported, Yolanda Foster’s final blog included plenty of details about the reality star’s health.

“My world has become very small. I have moved into an apartment with my husband and son in order to have a more manageable scope of responsibilities while I recover slowly and learn to take life one day at a time,” Yolanda Foster wrote. “Getting well is my full-time job these days.”

“I am a determined warrior, and even though this has brought me to my knees, I know God often uses our deepest pain as the launching pad of our greatest calling.”

Yolanda Foster has starred on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since Season 3, but when it comes to a return, that has yet to be confirmed. So far, the only confirmed members of the cast are Lisa Rinna, Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards, and according to a Radar Online report, Foster’s husband hopes she will move on.

“David has told Yolanda there is just no way she can return to the show because her condition is just getting worse. The Lyme disease is just ravaging her, and traveling for the international medical treatments is taking a toll.”
