Publisher's Summary
This program includes an introduction and bonus interview with the author.
From the star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills comes an emotional and eye-opening behind-the-scenes look at her descent into uncovering the mystery of chronic Lyme disease.
In early 2011, Yolanda Hadid was struck by mysterious symptoms including brain fog, severe exhaustion, migraines, and more. Over the months and years that followed, she went from being an outspoken, multitasking, hands-on mother of three, reality TV star, and social butterfly to a woman who spent most of her time in bed. Yolanda was turned inside out by some of the country's top hospitals and doctors, but due to the lack of definitive diagnostic testing, she landed in a dark maze of conflicting medical opinions, where many were quick to treat her symptoms but could never provide clear answers to their possible causes.
In this moving behind-the-scenes memoir, Yolanda opens up in a way she has never been able to in the media before. Suffering from late-stage Lyme, a disease that is an undeniable epidemic and more debilitating than anyone realizes, Yolanda had to fight with everything she had to hold on to her life. While her struggle was lived publicly, it impacted her privately in every aspect of her existence, affecting her family, friends, and professional prospects. Her perfect marriage became strained and led to divorce. It was the strong bond with her children, Gigi, Bella, and Anwar, that provided her greatest motivation to fight through the darkest days of her life. Hers is an emotional narrative and all-important listen for anyone unseated by an unexpected catastrophe.
With candor, authenticity and an unwavering inner strength, Yolanda reveals intimate details of her journey crisscrossing the world to find answers for herself and two of her children who suffer from Lyme and shares her tireless research into Eastern and Western medicine. Believe Me is an inspiring lesson in the importance of having courage and hope, even in those moments when you think you can't go on.

must read for invisible illness sufferers and fam
A book not only for lyme but also for any chronic illness, especially those of which are invisible..aswell as for anyone who has dealtt with a debilitating and life shattering illness. Get the whole family to listen/read. Great for those whom feel lost and swallowed up by the hole of fatigue and pain and makes you feel less....alone. chronic invisible illness can be difficult and i thank yolonda greatly for being brave enough and kind enough to use her sittuation and status to investigate and report her findings and experiences to the world in hope to gain u understanding, equality and relef/medical advancments which we o the other side of the spectrum can learn about and decide without going bankrupt. Narrayion is beautiful and i acctually thank my brain for not being able to retain anything as reading this again ( 3 times normally locks it in) is exciting and not frustrating for once. You are a hero. Thank you
