The 51-year-old star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills – who was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012 – wrote in a candid and heartfelt blog post that her illness has left her feeling like "someone came in and confiscated my brain."

She needs to stop the ridiculous lemon juice cleanses she does constantly. They aren't going to help her immune system fight Lyme disease. So many people with Lyme disease go untreated and undiagnosed, until it is too late and permanent damage is done. A friend of mine had to fight to get the specific blood test for Lyme disease because her Dr. insisted that Lyme wasn't prevalent where she lived. Even with the bullseye rash that indicated Lyme, she was given an anti-fungal and told she had ring worm. When she finally got diagnosed with Lyme disease, she was so sick that she thought she was going to die. She's fought her way back, but will probably have to deal with the consequences of being mis-diagnosed, for the rest of her life. This is happening to people all over North America.

Can totally relate to the comment: “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,”
As I am sure that thousands around the world can :(
Thank you to someone with a "public voice" willing to highlight the severity of Lyme.
