'RHOBH' Yolanda Foster's Instagram Shares Hospital Pics, Reality Star Undergoing More Treatments Chronic Lyme Disease

"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star, Yolanda Foster, has uploaded Instagram pictures of her receiving treatment for chronic Lyme disease.

In the most recent picture she posted, the reality star can be seen taking a selfie while laying in a hospital bed with tubes all around her.

She captioned the picture: "...Being Positive in a Negative situation isn't naive, it's leadership on a mission.... #DeterminedToFindACure #AffordableForAll #ChroniceLymeDiseaseAwareness"

The previous day, she posted an Instagram picture that featured her wearing a flowery hospital gown and cap. Foster bravely puts on a smile and holds up a victory sign in the picture, reports Daily Mail.

She added an inspirational caption to the picture which read: "Until you are broken you don't really know what you're made of...."

According to Extra TV, Foster was diagnosed with Lyme disease three years ago. She relapsed at the end of 2014, resulting in her inability to neither read nor write.

In addition, Foster's relapse is reportedly the reason she was unable to finish the filming of the reunion show of "Real Housewives."

The 51-year-old star has taken it upon herself to raise awareness for Lyme disease by posting pictures on her Instagram account, as seen on the video below.

The reality star has traveled around the world, seeking various treatments for Lyme disease, including some unconventional ones, Daily Mail has learned.

On her Bravo blog she writes, "I have gone from the conventional long-term antibiotics to about every holistic protocol there is to offer. I will make it my life mission to figure this out, because nobody deserves to suffer this way in 2015."

Recently, Foster has turned to stem cell treatment to help her fight the disease. Daily Mail explains that stem cell transplants can help treat Lyme disease by healing any cells damaged by the infection.

A bacterium, known as Borrelia burgdorferi, causes Lyme disease, states the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website. Ticks carrying the bacteria can transfer it to humans through a bite.

Some common symptoms of Lyme disease include: fever, headache, fatigue, and a skin rash called erythema migrans.

Lyme disease can also apparently cause neurological damage, which Yolanda is already suffering from. Neurological impairment caused by Lyme disease can result in a loss of words and short term memory.

To prevent Lyme disease, the CDC advises people to use insect repellents that contain 20–30 percent DEET and to immediately remove any ticks found on the body. 

It is also recommended that people avoid tick habitats, like wooded, bushy areas with tall grass.
