Yolanda Foster Is Back Home

February 1, 2015 by tamaratattles 95 Comments

 

RHOBH Yolanda

Yolanda came home for her holistic treatment facilities in Asia last weekend. She has been bedridden ever since. That did not stop her from Instagramming this photo yesterday of some beautiful flowers from Kris Jenner.  Kris and Yo have an odd connection in that both of their husbands were previous married  to Linda Thompson.  They are connected by some sort of oddly shaped Hollywood family tree.

I feel badly for Yolanda. Clearly she has a serious illness. I just wish she could find out the real issue. She seems to be deteriorating quickly. She’s really suffering from exhaustion and insomnia. 🙁

    I’m concerned for Yolanda, and hope she’s not relying on alternative medicine alone.

    She’s clearly sick — you can see it in the picture — but she’s still beautiful.
    The flowers are gorgeous and I like how she’s wearing a lavender hued shirt to match them (Knowing her personality, I have to believe that was intentional).
    I hope she gets a proper diagnosis and treatment soon — and I hope David Foster resists his natural dick tendencies and sticks by her (I just get the feeling he’s thisclose to cutting & running and I hope I’m wrong).

    On a serious note, it must be frustrating for those we are misdiagnosed or yet to recieve a conclusive diagnosis.

        I agree with this. Has Yo even been told by Lymes specialist she has Lymes?
        Both me and my daughter were some of the first to have the diagnose with it way back in the early 1980s. We were exposed to the deer ticks and had the bullseye rash….me on my neck. We did our doxicycline for 3 weeks and had plenty of follow up blood tests to make sure it was gone.
        35 yrs later you know they are more on top of it.
        I believe she is chronically depressed leading to constantly feeling like crap. Money and fame aren’t always a blessing

          Yolanda was never bitten by a tick. Yolanda does not have Lyme disease. Yolanda has been sold a bill of goods about a nonexistent illness called Chronic Lyme disease. I understand the desire to want to know what is causing her struggles. But Chronic Lyme is not it.

        I’m not debating, I’m curious about the assertion that Yolanda was never bitten by a tick? I don’t recall her saying that, and had assumed that it was very plausibly connected to her frequent horseback riding? The only people I know who had intense Lyme and confections were either avid riders or animal rescue people. Like I’m talking a crazy rich lady who kept a rescued bobcat in her house. One was a teenager who was a serious rider, but who also possibly contracted it at birth from her infected mom.

          ​There was no tick bite. There was no bullseye. There was not time when Yolanda saw a bite or a tick on her. If there was she would have Lyme Disease.

          Chronic Lyme Disease is a made up catch all disease just like Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. It’s a classification that doctors have come up with to figure out what is wrong with so many women of a certain age that complain of chronic fatigue, aches, anxiety, depression, etc. They change the name of this catch all classification every decade or so.

          Again it’s not that Yolanda is not sick. She is. It’s debilitating. But the doctors just have never bother to identify the actual cause for what so many suffer from.

      I’m clearly crazy. I don’t want to shower, change clothes, socialize, go out in public…and I feel feverish and ill A Lot. I keep being told I am depressed and anxious. I have a pretty sweet life and have no reason to be depressed and anxious. I wake up most morning being paralyzed with fear. This just sort of happened to me. I have no reason to be depressed. Life is good. No reason to be fearful. I have a hard time filling out forms, grocery shopping, and I don’t want to inteact with people. Prior to “whatever” I enjoyed interior design, now I don’t even clean up.

      I went from social butterfly to recluse. From spending a weekend redoing a room to not washing a dish. From being a confident public speaker to having trouble with interactions with a grocery store cashier.

      Something is happening to women of a certain age… I’m just saying.

        40’s flipped an exhaustion switch and the deeper in those 40’s I get the more exhausted I am. No motivation, no energy, no explanation. I don’t like it. I don’t get it and multitudes of my friends and peers are having the same issue. I hope she finds what wrong with her because it may help the rest of us!

I hate to leave my house, hate to talk on the phone, hate making appts, its weird, & I am exhausted all the time,flu like aches & pain, muscle pain. Sorry for going on & on but its shocked me to that you have almost the same issues. I feel for you Tamara Tattles, I hope someone figures out whats going on.

        I’m 57 and feel the same way – I think it all goes back to menopause. I’ve been battling hotflashes for years because I do not want to take any drugs for them. They are EXHAUSTING to say the least. That leads me to not wanting to do a damn thing!! I’m almost through with them and am down to maybe 3 a day. Surprisingly, I feel less exhausted now. I’ve always had insomnia (mom would roll her eyes when I got up at 7 a.m. in the summertime. Poor thing I never gave her a moment to herself lol). I don’t want to go anywhere and am content to stay on my little piece of earth and take care of it. My kids are adults, I need something to care for so it might as well be my gardens. Heh, they don’t stress me out like the general population does.

        I’m right there with you almost to a tee. I don’t have health insurance(Obama Care my ass) so I’ve gone through all of these symptoms and menopause cold turkey. Obviously I can commiserate with you and hate to hear this happening to someone like you who seems so full of life. If I didn’t read your blog I would have felt even worse as none of my friends who are the same age are having the same reaction, ( I chalked it all up to menopause, but I have to admit I’m not getting better) suffice it to say I no longer talk to them! Lol. I hope someone who comments here can maybe shed some light otherwise I guess all we’re left with is that a certain percentage of the female population reaches a certain age and just goes crazy. Again, I’m so sorry to know you are suffering and I hope there are answers awaiting us all.

          Alcohol is a depressant so how many of you still drink even though you feel sad and unmotivated all of the time? Before you add any cures, first you must remove all causes and the first thing to look at is what you’re putting into your body. It doesn’t mean you’re doing harm on purpose, it just means that you need to be open to all possibilities if you truly want a cure. If you keep taking in the cause which is most likely alcohol and processed l
          food while you add a cure, your body has to work overtime resulting in more fatigue. Resolve the problem, if you still need to add a cure, your body is nice and relaxed and ready to respond.

        Honey, have you been to a sleep clinic? Your symptoms sound like narcolepsy, which is likely not what you think it is.

        I feel like Yo should also be screened for it. Illnesses like Lyme Disease can trigger narcolepsy in older age.

        WOW… if I didn’t know any better TT I would think you were talking about me. So I’m not alone here. I’m almost hitting 50 and can’t believe my life is going by this quickly but I should be grateful to be this age. I was the social butterfly, the one with the gift of gab, the one who had a friend in every crowd. Now I can barely leave my house. My husband did our grocery shopping yesterday and I can’t seem to think of the reason why I don’t or can’t do it anymore. Is it me? I have a wonderful life, debt free, able to stay home and not worry about bills because I was blessed with this life and am very grateful but why can’t I get up. Why can’t I take this time that I’ve been giving and soar. Why am I wasting it? I don’t feel depressed but I know it has got to do something with the big “M”…. I do try to fight this but I seem to only be treading water and going no where…. Feeling Frustrated but Not GIVING UP… Thank you for opening this door for me…

        Me too. It’s funny about filling out forms, I just can’t! The mail and phone became the enemy also. I stopped drinking booze and have started a juice fast. For two weeks I juiced fresh organic fruits and vegetables and ate tofu and steamed veggies for dinner. Today I am starting on all juice and smoothies. I feel so much better! The other night I watched Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead on Netflix and it was an incredible inspiration.

        I am in shock as to how many women have these symptoms on this website alone. I am much younger than you guys (31) but unfortunately I started dealing with these symptoms in my early 20s, by 25 I was diagnosed with depression, GAD (from regular panick attacks), IBS, chronic fatigue, adrenal fatigue and a few others. No doctors could actually help me and they would come up with ridiculous solutions that never worked. I finally came across a health forum and there were women with my symptoms who worked through a lot of their problems through naturopathic medicine. I did a lot of research, found a good naturopath, and he immediately connected all my problems to each other (he did some tests first). He put me on a strict diet of no processed sugar, dairy, soda or processed foods in general (a detox, though back then they were not popular and they were called diets lol). The first thing to improve was my GAD – within days. The last thing was my energy. To this day I’m still dealing with some hormonal imbalances but overall I am a totally new person. Ever since, I have read tons of health books and my lifestyle has completely changed. I couldn’t believe how much my conditions were related to my lifestyle. I am a true believer that all health conditions start with toxicity and deficiency. How soon these two things affect us depends on genetics. Anyways, I’m not saying go on a detox, I’m saying just think about these things and maybe start educating yourselves on this subject see if it takes you somewhere. There are so many amazing books out there on premenopause, menopause and hormonal issues, and they all talk about the conditions we described above. I believe the American medical system is one of the best in the world at fixing people’s major medical problems- surgeries etc. But God forbid you go in there with anxiety and fatigue, they will have no idea what is going on. Sorry for the rant, best of luck to you ladies!

          Yes, diet helps A LOT. But it can be really hard to maintain. I will be on a strict diet for Lent where I do not allow myself any deviances. I do try to do mostly organic clean diets and then I find my myself forgetting to eat, out running errands, blood sugar dropping and a Taco Bell nearby.

        For energy, vitamin d and omega 3 helps a lot. When your energy is better, you will feel like interacting more, and take in small steps and build your confidence in yourself, and confidence in your ability to handle things. It takes time. And try new things, too. This is my two cents, and about what it’s worth.

        Have you considered bioidentical hormones? With a qualified practitioner? I don’t like to preach, but I’ve been a convert for over 12 years. (some other comments are below) I do go in for “tweaks” as needed, and I went through this process from peri menopause through menopause. I was all of you ladies-crazy, angry, celibate (with a hot husband), fat, antisocial, drunk, unmotivated, anxiety ridden, an insomniac, and a freak with a complete lack of anything to offer the world. I have had my life back for quite sometime.
        On a side note, I was in a “funk” this am-but reading what all of you are going through has helped me push through. I am going to take a shower, and get something going. Good luck to all.

        Me too with the bills. Totally have the money, but just looking at them gives me anxiety. It doesn’t make any sense. I did hear an explaination that I can apply that does make some sense. According to Taoist Herbalism every person has a certain amount of life essence they call jing. When your jing gets depleted you don’t have the energy to adapt to your environment as well. I used to be the kind of person who would jump in a car and drive across the country on a moments notice now I can barely look at the freeway. I don’t have the energy to deal with all the cars rushing around. Chinese herbs that replenish jing helped me but what I am finding is that I really think my problem as well as millions of others is a lack of jing caused by a lack of nutrition. As captian eel pointed out all those cleanses Yolanda did that require just consuming lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne can really deplete a person. She also seems to really have an issue with eating. Most people have mal-nutrition from eating processed food. I did not eat processed food but I really was not getting near enough fruits and vegtables. The testimonials of healing from people who do organic juice fasting which gives you a super concentrated amount of vitamins and minerals is amazing! I am hoping to be able to conquer my bills, paperwork, phone calls,and driving on freeways even as soon as I get all the nutrtion I really was sadly lacking. It’s not just a woman thing either. My husband has the same problems even worse. He actually feels anxiety about showers sometimes. He is feeling better on the juice too, plus it is making him nicer!

        How are you so sure that Lyme Disease does not reappear in those that are not diagnosed early? I used to live in a neighborhood that was infested with deer. Every household had AT LEAST ONE verified case of Lyme’s (and this was using the cheapy test). Several people were diagnosed late and yes they all had ongoing concerns. It is very possible to get Lyme’s without ever knowing you were bitten, those ticks are tiny!

I’m not a Dr but know enough to recognize traits in Yo’s personality by the way she interacts with her daughters, hubby and the cast to see howersonality disorders can be making her sick.
        It’s a huge cry for attention. I wonder if she’s even been to a mental health Dr for an evaluation?

        I feel like this as well. Often. I feel my issue is mostly hormonal. I do have a thyroid issue.

        It helps to know we are not alone.

        This also helps to understand why Yolanda seems so hypocritical and moody. She probably suffers from issues with hormones as well.

    I have often wondered if Yolanda’s chronic Lyme is really symptoms of peri-menopause or menopause. I am 52 and have been going through these hormone changes for the last 7 years that include the hot flashes, insomnia or waking up at 4 am for no reason, anxiety and irrational fears ( Did my basement flood overnight?) increased migraines and brain fog often loosing words or the word’s meaning. The list of things that are just “off” for no other earthly reason goes on and on. I’ve been working with a wonderful doctor and reading everything to try to understand.

    At a certain age, our bodies stop producing Progesterone “the happy hormone” because we stop ovulating, yet our ovaries still over produce Estrogen plus we get environmental estrogens to stimulate the uterine lining so we still get periods that are extremely heavy and leave us anemic and exhausted. Then the Estrogen “high” plummets down to almost nothing, and that sets off even more symptoms.

    Think of a child’s toy top spinning in a perfect cycle. It remains upright, has energy and is predictable. Then, as it begins to no longer have the energy to keep itself upright before it stops spinning, it wobbles and wiggles, it spins in unpredictable circles before it just falls over. That’s us going through what once was a predictable cycle, to a time of everything just stopping. It is a rough time and I hope we all get through it to a happier place.

    Now, back to Yolanda specifically. If she wasn’t such a drama queen exaggerating her symptoms like she was flat on her back for 8 months when the shooting timeline clearly negates that, I’d have more compassion and find her more believable. This whole thing that she lost her ability to read, write or watch tv… is this like how she said in her toast at dinner that she lost her voice for two years?

      I thought I was alone.I am in my early 40’s and no one in my circle understands why I don’t get out like I use to etc. I need a good Dr in GA. I went to two doctors and they were lost to help me after I declined thehormone patch. Every issue I ever had from childhood and teen years has resurfaced. I am leery of new places and people now after traveling for years. My disposition of the world and religion has changed as well as how I view everything. I am shocked at the lack of research for alternative care and the mental aspect of menopause. Never was it discussed in nursing school and I have to dig to find crap out. I am also misdiagnosed and frustrated. Other meds treat the symptoms, but not the undiagnosed illness. I am sick of hearing it will go away in a few years. I honestly feel that I will not make it pass this. No one ever told me that menopause was this life changing.

        I am 62 years old and I went through menopause naturally, change in diet with herbal and vitamin supplements after I got a book about it written by a woman doctor. I did not do HRT, but I have experienced and continue to experience many of the same “mental” aspects that you mention especially in relation to travel and being around people. Crowds drive me mad and I am intensely distrustful of most people. Being around my family especially seems to “weigh” me down because of what you said about old issues resurfacing. I am hoping that persistence is the key and that there is help available, but I’ve yet to find it. For me, anti-depressants have been of some benefit, but I still lapse into fits of rage now and then, so I know that is not the final solution. I hope it helps to know you are not alone. I generally don’t say this much.

      Yolanda has said that she thought her symptoms were menopause related. That’s why she brought Suzanne Somers onto the show during Season 3 for a scene with Lisa V & Kyle to discuss her vitamin and hormone replacement lifestyle. But she went to the doctors and discovered that it was something more.

        Getting older, changes in hormones, living in a society where looking good 24/7 is a necessity, poor eating habits where she practically starves herself. She’s is a control freak. All that stress can make you feel fatigued, exhausted and sick all the time.

        All of you should do whatever it takes to do bioidentical hormones. Suzanne Somers turned me and my mother onto them 12 years ago (perimenopause at the time for me), we drove 6 hours just to go to the doctor. Now, being in CA, we have one close by. I’m on estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, thyroid, and a myriad of supplements. My life is dramatically different from the fat, tired housewife who would hide at home daily. I still have set backs at times (like today!), but seriously, I am a new woman. Oh, did I mention that anger is not there? It was like an

        ​Hormones can make you a raving bitch. It’s a cyclical thing. There are often days when I fell fine, sometimes even good. I try to maximum productivity on those days because I never know when or if they are coming again. There seems to be no rhyme or reason. Some days I feel like crying for no reason at all. Somedays I am fearful of absolutely nothing. Some days I am angry even my adorable dog annoys me. And some days I’m perfectly fine. Every day is like a box of chocolates.

I finally have friends (40’s-50’s) who are signing up, especially when I tell them I sleep. They see that I am a changed person. My skin looks good too. Good luck!

        I have a healthcare tip that hasn’t been mentioned. I found a local university with a teaching clinic. They do not accept insurance but Medicaid patients pay half the normal fee. Naturopath and chiropractor are $20 and acupuncture is $40. I’m not sure if allopathic schools do the same but it’s worth looking into if that’s what you want. I enjoy being around the students who since everything is still new and exciting, they tend to not dismiss symptoms. I also have never worried about getting lesser care because the instructor oversees everything. The instructors are brilliant and I could never afford them alone so I get the most bang for my buck this way.

    I felt bad for years, finally life became do bad I had to go in.
    Health care (Obama) gave me that opportunity. The difference being most blue states embraced health care plans the year before it became law so they were set up and ready. Most red states didn’t and still don’t.
    It’s not perfect but I pay $80.00 a month for a near the top of a tier plan that has a very reasonable co-pay. Very low cost prescription plan. It’s not the health care plan but how your state has chosen to handle the health care system.
    That’s how it has worked for me and for one if my sons that recently graduated.
    The only complaint was finding doctors but once that was done I found a huge network of doctors. Plus more doctors are coming into the network each month.
    This is MY experience ONLY.
    So please no attacks.

        That was in your company’s choice of insurance company’s. It was a matter of profit line and cost to your company. Your company made that choice.
        My oldest works in the office of a major construction company and his company insurance stayed the same. Plus he was allowed to add his live-in girlfriend. It’s the company’s choice of insurance carriers if they want to pay the difference.

      That’s what I’m saying. She exaggerates her symptoms for dramatic effect. “I was on my back looking up at the ceiling for 8 months and Lisa only came to visit me once,” and they went to dinner. Or “I lost my voice for two years.” or “I lost my ability to read, write or watch tv” while traveling the world, sitting on David’s lap as he judges the Asian Voice thing and tweeting a photo of herself on the plane with a book open next to her. At this point I have to think about Munchausen Syndrome, a mental disorder in which a person fakes illness ( or exaggerates them to gain attention and sympathy.

      However, her hyperbolic exaggerations/ lies, such as “I lost my voice for 2 years”, or ” Gigi just had a couple glasses of wine before she went to the gas station, not to mention her bizarre ranting about Lisa Vanderpump, have completely destroyed Yolanda’s credibility.

      That said, she posted that photo to say thank you to Kris Jenner for the flowers. It’s the modern way to send a thank you note, and Kris Jenner herself is loving the positive PR. This is pretty average level attention whoring, not nearly as pathological as it is being characterized. The crazy bitch is sick for real.

    It saddens me that people don’t believe Yolanda is sick. I like her and I have friends who have severe and chronic medical conditions who look very well and healthy on the outside so to look at them you would think they are healthy and never know what they go through. Clearly I don’t know her but I place Yolanda in that category. Having said that, something is very wrong with her medically but I suspect Lyme may only be one component of her issue. She is able to afford the best doctors and treatment but my concern for her is that she may be relying solely on alternative treatments rather than trying to pinpoint if something else is actually wrong with her. I also wonder if she needs to look at her diet and possibly eat a little more because she has such strict discipline and concern about potentially gaining an ounce.

    There is a great debate in the medical community about “Chronic” Lyme, which some “Lyme Literate” doctors say is the long-lasting effect of the initial tick bite and bacteria infection after the infection clears up with antibiotic treatment. Many doctors say there is no such thing as Chronic Lyme and obviously there has been no treatment on the PLANET that Yolanda has not tried and nothing has worked for her or anyone else complaining of Chronic Lyme. I tend to think it is something else entirely but I do remember when doctors said Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia were not real diseases either.

        This is the definition of why Peter Rowe started the Chronic Fatigue Clinic at Hopkins- to identify the ACTUAL underlying pathologies causing the CFS symptoms, especially in kids and adolescents. Guess which kind of medicine Peter Rowe practices? Autonomic cardiology. Autonomic dysfunction is genetically linked to connective tissue disorder and mast cell activation disease, as well as many other external factors like antibiotic toxicity and autoimmunity.

        I wish I could persuade all the suffering people here to google the symptoms of autonomic dysfunction.

      I have to agree with this, only because we have a male friend, 59, who has determined, with his doctors, that his symptoms are a result of “chronic lyme disease”. He was a hunter, (CEO of a winery-high pressure/energy job), avid outdoorsman. Through a nation wide doctor/hospital search, he was diagnosed- he has the memory lapses, as well as numerous symptoms described here. Many of our friends believe it may be in his mind, or a way for him to cop out from being in the swim of things. I have a hard time believing anyone would want to opt out of life, male or female.
      Our ex wife had “chronic fatigue” the whole time my husband was on the hook for child support-she could not work, or think. As soon as they were 18, she was cured, and got remarried.
      Which story is true? There is so much we don’t know about the body/mind. However, I don’t think telling people to stop certain foods, take colonics, or bow to the sun 3 times a day will cure these ailments.
      I am sitting here with brain fuzz, skipped my workout, ate toast, and am contemplating staying inside. Fighting this will take everything I have. My life for the most part changed DRAMATICALLY once I did bioidentical hormones. (attitude, sex, energy!) They are the only way to go! Yet, even I have my days.

    It is called menopause & it is really crappy to go through. Unfortunately it was hidden behind a curtain for so many decades and now it is being brought out into the open. When menopause hits someone who obviously has a stake & pride in staying young forever. I have ridden horses all my life on both coasts, as have my daughters – no lyme disease; and we rode in places where ticks actually exist. Additionally I know about Cushing’s because it is common in ponies – she doesn’t have Cushing’s. She is merely in denial that everyone of these symptom’s are menopause. She is additionally in denial of Bella who never was remotely near an Olympic level rider. She continually stopped and fell off at the lower levels. She stopped riding because she was not very good.
