Yolanda Foster is traveling with her husband David Foster this week and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star isn't traveling light! Yolanda, who is battling Lyme Disease, shared with her followers just how much medicine she had to bring along for the trip.
Yolanda wrote, "Good morning Kuala Lumpur, this is how a Chronic Lyme patient travels #DETERMINED #LymeDisease." She attached the photo below, showing off the jaw-dropping quantity of meds she's taking during her vacation.

I don't recognize any of those things as part of Dr H's.
Truthfully, I've been thinking more about her & unfortunately as it stands I conclude this. It will be the entertainment media who get this out into mainstream public view.
I look at all the CFS, AIDS, & Lyme videos, at best there are a few thousand hits. I look at Miley Cyrus, J Lo, & Rihanna videos & they are in the millions.
So it will take more famous people to get Lyme & hopefully come out. Nobody gives 2 hoots about us, but GOD forbid a star happens to fall.....OMG big news.

I agree with the star status to get attention.
I'm sure some of you remember Karen Carpenter and her dying of anorexia. No one in the media gave a hoot about anorexia until that happened.
Freddy Mercury and Rock Hudson gave faces to AIDS.
Candice Accola has done public service announcements about Lyme, but I don't think she's a big enough star yet to get enough attention and it's her friend who has Lyme.

She's not the first celebrity with Lyme. No one gives a hoot until it happens to them.

I agree with all your points.
Lymetoo is right, nobody gives a hoot unless it affects them personally.

She is trying to do her part to raise awareness about how debilatating this disease is. Only those who have lyme really understand how it changes your life. ---------------------
At last year's Lyme Research Alliance’s “Time for Lyme” Gala More than $1 Million to Fund Research was Raised.
excerpt:
"At the event, Yolanda Foster,a season three cast member of the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and a chronic Lyme sufferer, was honored with LRA’s StarLight Award, in recognition for her advocacy and for serving as a role model for those afflicted with Lyme disease.
“I’m accepting this incredible award,” she told the audience, “on behalf of all my fellow Lyme Warriors out there who are living in darkness battling this silent killer."

That is cool she is sharing her experience. It looks like she is on homeopathics along with a ton of supplements.
Is that GSE and zeolite I see? Those don't look like Cowden's labels (maybe another company). It's good to see she's trying alternative stuff.

That's my girl!!!!!
I am proud of the way she handled herself & tries so hard to attract awareness.
We need more celebrities like her. Where are you Micheal J Fox & Ben Stiller?
We also need this body gyrating & tongue wriggling worm to get bit Why do people like this never get bit? If she or Kim Kardashian got bit that would make humungous headlines. President Bush gets bit & no one could care less.
