Yolanda Foster, who has been battling Lyme disease for the past three years, has revealed she has “lost the ability to read, write or even watch TV,” according to E! News.
She said: “Most of you know I have been battling Lyme disease for the past three years. I wasted the first year trying to get diagnosed and spent the next two trying to find a cure.
“I have gone from the conventional long-term antibiotics to about every holistic protocol there is to offer.
“Unfortunately, I was only able to get to about a 60 per cent recovery until I relapsed in early December and have not been able to find my way back.”
The star, who is married to musician and producer David Foster, continued by saying her condition had left her feeling as if someone had “confiscated her brain”.
She said: “Lyme Neuroborreliosis is a spirochete infection in the brain that can leave one with severe brain impairment and neurological issues.
“I have lost the ability to read, write, or even watch TV, because I can’t process information or any stimulation for that matter.
“It feels like someone came in and confiscated my brain and tied my hands behind my back to just watch and see life go by without me participating in it.”
Her co-stars have tweeted their support, with Camille Grammer taking to Twitter to say: “@YolandaHFoster bless you! Praying for you.”
Meanwhile Yolanda Foster said she was staying positive, taking to Instagram to say: “I guess God gives the hardest battles to the strongest soldiers #MyHealthJourney #SearchForACure #NeuroLogicalLymeDisease.”
