I think it's more complex than that. The reason I say that is because I was told I had Lyme after 2 years of battling doctors. I was miserable. I couldn't drive and most days couldn't get out of bed because I was so dizzy and fatigue. I went from doctor to doctor trying to find out what was wrong with me. During that time, my condition would get worse for a long period of time, but some days I would feel just a little better to get out of bed and do small things like walk outside or go to the store. The doctors explained that sometimes and in some cases, the disease can go into remission for a period of time and you can relapse. So while you may never fully recover, some days or weeks will be better than others.
This can even be caused because you can develop other problems from being in such chronic pain like fibromyalgia or even depression which can worsen the Lyme symptoms.
I feel for her because I went through the same thing she is going through years ago.
So Yolanda could still be trying to get out to do things so she won't drive herself crazy in her own mind. People that have suffered this horrible disease understand completely. So I don't think she is making anything up. Maybe the depression is making the pain worst, but this women is not crazy.

Sorry you had to go through that, SingleLady. It sounds as though you have recovered. If that's so, will you tell us how you recovered? What treatment/medications would best help Yolanda?

No, I haven't recovered. I don't think it's curable. I'm in a remission period right now so I feel a little better than I did a few months ago but it comes and goes in waves. One thing that helped me is being treated by a mental health doctor and neurologist because not only is it a battle against your body but also your mind. Lyme can and does cause other and different illnesses. That is why some people may struggle more than others.
I've been on various medical therapies that have help here and there but because the doctors didn't know what was wrong for a long period of time, I think the chronic pain will always come and go. But I'm glad David cleared the air and shut down these women for thinking she is faking, good for him.
I know first hand that when I first started having symptoms, I didn't know what was going on. It takes a toll on every part of your body. I went to every specialist in 4 universities. The tests for Lyme are not accurate at all. Some people close to me couldn't understand what was going on and it took a toll on some of my personal relationships as well.
I was at the point where I thought I would pass in my sleep. It is very scary and these women should not put her under more stress by commenting about her makeup and faking a illness. I wondered why she continued to do the show but I think she wants to help other people with this horrible illness and give them hope and let them know they are not alone. She has done that for me.

Bless you, my friend. I have no idea why Yo decided to continue on the show but if I were her I would not have done so. NOT being able to continue but using her celebrity and illness as a platform would have been much more helpful than the other bratty snobs sitting around gossiping and spreading innuendos about herl

Thank you.
Maybe the Beverly Hills crew is trying to ride the coat tail of the Orange County women. Andy Cohen said on Watch What Happens Live that Orange County had it's biggest ratings ever this past season. That was mainly because of the big ol Brook's faking his cancer story line. Well, now Beverly Hills sees that and is now trying to accuse Yo of the same thing but never said that last season or the season before. I smell a rotten fish on the other women, no Yolanda's.

I thought that it might be a ratings issue. They don't have any big drama makers with Brandy being gone and they had to do something to bring in the ratings. Notice how this season has started off VERY boring.
Yeah this season is a snoozer so far. The only real drama is Yo's illness. Lisa R. Is the Meghan King of medical information and disease investigation on this show this season. She claimed to be tech. Challenged but managed to find Munchhausens Syndrome. I think the production team found that for her.
Kyle needs to take a seat and shut it. Kim made such a spectacle of herself last season and caused so much trouble and drama of course everyone is going to be talking about her and her antics. Kyle has been on this show for how long now? She knows this is normal housewives conversation.
