"Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills" star Yolanda Foster updated her blog with her struggles coping up with Lyme disease.

"It feels like someone came in and confiscated my brain and tied my hands behind my back just to watch and see life go by without me participating in it," she revealed.

The wife of David Foster explained on her Bravo TV Blog that she's been battling with the disease since 2012, but she has not been fully recovered since then. She adds that a major health attack occurred in December and the reason she's been rarely seen on "RHOBH."

In 2012 she revealed on Twitter that she's infected with Neuro Borrelia Lyme disease, transmitted from a bite of a tick. If gone worse, the disease can imperil the heart and the central nervous system, Daily Mail reports.

She continues that a spirochete infection in the brain called Lyme Neuroborreliosis can leave the affected person 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," the 51-year-old model continued on her blog post. 

But the Bravo reality star is determined to find cure for her rare disease. She stated on her blog that she's open to try great medicines and ancient therapies. Though these medicines are blocked by the FDA she's willingly to travel and "recognize the value of diverse points of view in medicine."

Meanwhile, her daughter Gigi Hadid took to Twitter on Tuesday to expressed her support and love to her mum.

"I love you, thank you for being an inspiration to me and so many others. I know you will help so many through your battle," the model Twitted.
