Celebrities with Lyme Disease http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/12/12 ... 16692.html

Jamie Lynn Sigler
The actress, most well-known for her role on "The Sopranos," contracted Lyme disease in 2000. Her feet began tingling and eventually her legs became paralyzed. Doctors were stumped for five days as to the cause, the New Jersey Star-Ledger reported.

"It was such a life-altering experience," she told the paper. "I realized it could all be taken away in a moment" She recovered completely after taking antibiotics.


George W. Bush
In 2007, the annual report on the president's health revealed that in August of 2006 Bush had been treated for Lyme disease. A White House spokesman said the president likely was bitten during a bike ride. He noticed a rash that doctors treated, and he had no other symptoms or any recurrence, according to CNN.

"I wouldn't expect any problem at all for the president," Gary Wormser, chief of infectious diseases at New York Medical College and an expert on Lyme disease, told the Washington Post. "He won't be impacted by this infection in the future."


Parker Posey
The actress was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2009. "I had the opportunity to approach it both with conventional medicine (antibiotics) and homeopathic remedies and supplements," she said in a statement. "The first round of antibiotics did not destroy all the bacteria and I made a decision not to take them anymore and instead approach it purely holistically -- through the help of my homeopathic doctor who guided me with my diet and gave me the natural supplements to bring my body back to its vitality."


Daryl Hall
Duo Hall and Oates was forced to cancel performances in 2005 when Hall was diagnosed with Lyme disease, USA Today reported.

A publicist told E! Online that Hall had the trademark bull's eye rash and flu-like symptoms. "We are so sorry to disappoint our fans, but we promise to make it up to them," he said in a statement. "This illness made it impossible for me to give my best effort to our audience, but now that it's been identified, I'm looking forward to a complete, quick recovery and to get back out there with John as soon as possible."


Amy Tan
The author most famous for her hit novel "The Joy Luck Club" suffered mysterious hallucinations, confusion, neck and joint pain, numbness and insomnia for more than two years before she was diagnosed with Lyme disease.

By that time, she had consulted 11 different doctors and paid $50,000 in medical bills, People reported. After researching her symptoms on the Internet, Tan told the magazine that everything clicked -- she had taken many hiking trips in parts of California where Lyme disease is common and she even remembered pulling ticks off of her dogs.

While her symptoms were advanced, her doctor told People, antibiotics helped, and she started a charity organization called Lyme Aid4Kids to help raise awareness for the disease.


Alice Walker
The Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and poet experienced aches and pains and chronic fatigue that she, according to The Guardian, self-diagnosed as Lyme Disease. She called it a "spiritual transformation" and "frightening," teling Democracy Now! in 2006 that the disease was physically debilitating.


Christie Brinkley
It's not clear if model Brinkley ever had Lyme disease -- but she's certainly taken a strong stance against ticks. In the early '90s she made headlines for raising guinea hens, birds thought to eat deer ticks, at her home in East Hampton, New York, according to TIME.

She reported the deer-tick population had fallen on the grounds around her home since introducing the hens, the Philadehlphia Inquirer reported.


Alec Baldwin
Few details are known about the actor's Lyme disease, but he told the New York Times that his symptoms are chronic and return annually. "At the same time of year, I get really tired," he told the paper

Ally Hilfiger

While growing up, the now 26-year-old daughter of fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger went to several doctors, who diagnosed her with everything from arthritis to growing pains. Though Hilfiger was bitten by a tick at age 7, the insect tested negative for Lyme disease, as did later tests doctors performed on her. Some test results were "borderline positive," she said.

Yolanda Foster

2014: "Even though Yolanda was discharged from the hospital, friends and family are very concerned. This is a very, very serious disease, and Yolanda has been such a trooper dealing with it,” the source said. “All Yolanda wanted was to be home for Christmas, which has happened.
The problem with Yolanda’s diagnosis of Lyme disease was that it was so advanced by the time she was finally diagnosed.” http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2014/ ... -up-rhobh/

Yolanda Foster is op tweede kerstdag weer opgenomen voor lyme. Jammer dat de doorsnee patiënt deze beahndeling niet krijgt, maar allee aandacht voor lyme is ook goed, al maken sommigen er wel een kermis van.

Het siert haar zeker dat zij lezingen geeft en op komt voor de ziekte van Lyme.

En wat voor mij duidelijk is dat gezondheid niet te koop is. Ook niet als je erg rijk bent en over bakken met geld kunt beschikken.
Wat mij raakt is dat Yolanda bij het langs komen van artikelen en foto's van haar waar zij zonder en met make up op staat er slecht uitziet http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2014/ ... -up-rhobh/ Dat zegt mij dat het niet goed met haar gaat.
