  1. I live in Texas and can't figure out what "bow with me" means....something Leeanne says in the previews for the next episode beau or bow (sounds like row)
  2. When will Andy learn not to believe Yo? (rhetorical question) http://www.realitytea.com/2016/04/18/andy-cohen-michael-jackson-died-in-yolanda-foster-bed-rental-house/
  3. return: Kyle, LVP, Kathryn and Rinna (we need a villain and without Eileen she may be a tolerable pot stirrer) leave: Yo, Eileen, Erika
  4. Natalie is just playing her role and drumming up drama until the real drama arrives (doug/courtney/krista). Also she gives anxiety girl her moment on the show (panic attack) and lets Kim be relevant/"good". I think this part is all scripted. The only interesting part is the horrible yet fascinating Doug/Courtney/Krista relationship
  5. quackcall lymebyphone dial4lyme dobuylyme (similar to Dubai = Do Buy) I wonder if they will have a special promotion: buy a lyme diagnosis and get an award after your 3rd purchase
  6. I'll PM you I'll PM you. There are ways to watch them online but I don't think they are legal in the USA and I don't think we can discuss them in these comments (not sure and will have to look at the TOS)
  7. lol, I was thinking along the lines of telelyme or pholyme (phonetically sounds like faux lyme).
  8. like when she left underaged lyme* addled Bella so she (Yo) could hang out on a yacht, meanwhile young Bella is getting drunk and who knows what else (see Yo's email). Then not long after drunk lyme DUI, Bella gets to go live alone in NYC (despite stimulants and other paraphernalia in Bella's car). Please correctly if I am wrong but that seems weird. I do think Yo loves her kids but I don't see her as fiercely protective (shoves them into the modeling/partying scene). *there has to be a term for phone diagnosed chronic lyme disease!
  9. I recently found out about this show (someone posted about it on the Bravo Real Housewives Reddit subreddit) and I just binged watched all of the episodes over the past few days. Love it! Now I found about 10 more shows I want to start watching and I'm already watching a bunch of shows....lol
  10. Are there any published studies about the above information? or hooked on opioids from when she "broke" her back giving birth to Anwar? Opioid addiction would explain her constipation and use of daily colonics!!!! yes but they still have numerous research studies showing efficacy for what they are being used to treat. Once the patent is out (generics can be made) then there is no incentive to get FDA approval for that particular indication. Regardless there still are studies that show efficacy. There are numerous well powered statistically significant studies that show that beta-blockers like propranolol (anti-hypertensive), tricyclic antidepressants like amitriptyline, and anti-epileptics like topiramate (and many other medications) prevent chronic migraine (given to a patient with chronic migraines even if they don't have high blood pressure, depression or seizures). Also botox is FDA approved for the prevention of chronic migraine.
  11. Use: Alcohol dependence: Treatment of alcohol dependence. Opioid dependence: For the blockade of the effects of exogenously administered opioids. Use: Off-Label: Cholestatic pruritus (adults) Also Off-Label Use: I did find one study (uncontrolled so already not good evidence) to suggest it may help with Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder (DDD). An uncontrolled trial of naltrexone, a non-selective opioid antagonist, in 14 patients with DDD found an average 30 percent reduction in symptoms, with four patients showing marked improvement. Well powered, randomized trials of opioid antagonists are needed in patients with DDD. Patients with pronounced emotional numbing that does not respond to psychotherapy may benefit from naltrexone
  12. I have no idea if they are still friends or not but that TMZ article seems fishy. Who is their source (bg, yo, yo's minions)? Also it said: "...Vanderpump, for the umpteenth time, asked about his kids, Bella and Anwar, and their Lyme disease. We're told Hadid was embarrassed because Lisa asked while taping at dinner with friends. Sources close to the situation tell us Hadid will be cordial during shoots,.." I don't see LVP badgering Mo ("umpteenth" time). So now they were taping something when she asked him...why were they taping dinner with Mo and friends. Why is shoots plural? How many scenes was Mo in this season after the reveal that the kids are fine? I thought it was just the one pony house delivery shoot. The article just seems sketchy even if they are no longer friends
  13. I'm glad Robb won! They didn't have flashlights in the 20s....or did they, lol
  14. You are correct and I apologize! You did not incorrectly edit my post (just the usual cropping of it which we all appreciate since it is long). Again, my bad and I am sorry. I don't know how to quote someone and keep that quote that they are responding to in that quote. Therefore I did a copy/paste below: VICKY8675309, ON 13 APR 2016 - 4:58 PM, SAID: Silicone breast implants (and their rupture) do not cause fatigue/malaise [you] You don't think that silicone from a ruptured implant causes ANY ill effects? That it's absolutely harmless? _________________________________________ I was wrong since it wasn't an incorrectly edited quote. I think it was the extrapolation of not causing fatigue/malaise to not causing any problems that I confused as edited quotes* rather than extrapolation. I do think they are fairly safe (even surgery has potential risks/harm) but almost everything has a potential for harm. *or maybe it was my brain fog
  15. It is frustrating reading posts attributing her symptoms to leaked breast implants on this site when information to the contrary has been posted previously (granted it was in Yo's thread and not this thread--my bad). I see it all over the internet...and it is wrong (according to medical research studies) and I blame it on the hysteria from the 90s (which was later shown to be inaccurate). The link had information that was done after the public panic (which IIRC was in the early to mid 90s....not sure). Leaked silicone could cause local pressure effects. Pressure on a nerve and if it is a sensory nerve then impaired sensory perception in the distribution of that nerve, if a motor nerve then possible weakness in the muscle(s) it innervates (however remember they are implanted under the fat [or muscle] layer of the skin on the chest [not inside the chest wall as stated by Yo....I think she implied they were put inside the chest wall]). If it blocks lymph drainage then possible lymphedema but more likely the lymphatic fluid would be re-routed. I'm not an expert in silicone or silicone breast implants (not a surgeon) but I looked up this information when this was first suggested as a cause of Yo's symptoms and I couldn't not find anything to support those claims. I believe they can cause capsular adhesions. Breast implants (saline or silicone) in general may be associated with increased risk of a very rare lymphoma (ALCL) but the data is still out on that. I found this (mainly related to the surgery): "Complications associated with implant-based breast reconstruction that may or may not lead to reoperation can be classified as complications inherent to surgery in general (eg, seroma, bleeding and hematoma, skin necrosis, and infection), and those specifically related to the implant-based breast reconstruction (eg, skin necrosis, implant capsular contracture, implant exposure or malposition, suboptimal aesthetic appearance). There is no credible evidence to suggest that there are any long-term health implications for women with breast implants, other than known surgical or implant-related local complications that may or may not result in reoperation. It is also not possible to confirm with certainty that breast implants cause anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) in the capsule adjacent, but women with breast implants may have a very small but increased risk. Because ALCL is extremely rare, it is not possible to identify any risk factors (eg, type of implant [silicone versus saline] or implant indications [reconstruction versus aesthetic augmentation])."
  16. the trashtalktv recap is ready http://www.trashtalktv.com/04/13/real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-recap-the-munchurian-candidate/384056/
  17. Absolutely! and mental illness is just as "real" as physical illness and just because someone is female doesn't make it mental (just like how men can also be mentally ill and it is not always physical)
  18. Did I say ANY ill effects? No (but nice try). If someone eats a piece of bread and gets fatigued then they should seek help unless they already are being helped for whatever is causing such profound fatigue. No one has to believe anything including medical evidence and scientific research. I do know that silicone breast implants, ruptured or not ruptured, and leaked silicone from breast implants do not cause fatigue any more than a placebo effect. Per UpToDate (I get it free through work at an academic healthcare facility): Implant based breast reconstruction and augmentation Literature review current through: Mar 2016. | This topic last updated: Mar 25, 2016. "CONCERNS OVER BREAST IMPLANTS — In response to the concerns and controversy surrounding silicone gel breast implants, The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) reviewed the available information and literature on breast implants and concluded that there is no credible scientific evidence to suggest that there are any long-term health implications for women, other than surgical or implant-related local complications that may or may not result in reoperation. Silicone implants and connective tissue disease — In 1992, the FDA issued a moratorium on the use of silicone gel breast implants in response to a public concern regarding their safety, and a lack of studies to refute these concerns. There were anecdotal reports that raised the questions of a possible association between silicone implants and various diseases (specifically connective tissue diseases) or a “silicone adjuvant syndrome.” However, large-scale epidemiologic studies and literature reviews failed to show increased rates of seroprevalences of antinuclear antibodies or other autoantibodies [10], or increased risks of connective tissue diseases in women with breast implants [11-17]. One study found no difference in self-reported diseases or symptoms, or in the presence of autoantibodies, between women with intact silicone gel implants and women with ruptured implants, including extracapsular rupture [18]. The only exception was capsular contracture, which was reported six times more frequently by women with extracapsular ruptures compared with women who had intact implants. A systematic review of the relationship of silicone breast implants to other cancers (not breast) concluded [19]: ●Epidemiologic studies provide no support for an increased risk of either sarcoma or multiple myeloma among breast implant recipients, disputing clinical and laboratory findings suggesting such a link. ●Although a number of epidemiologic studies have demonstrated elevated risks of cervical, vulvar, and lung cancers among breast implant patients, it is likely that these relate more to lifestyle characteristics (eg, cigarette smoking, sexual behavior) than to the effects of the implants. ●Brain cancer risk, suggested in one study, has not been confirmed in either an update of the mortality experience in this study, or on the basis of any other investigations. ●At present, there is no convincing evidence that breast implants alter the risk of nonbreast malignancies. Based upon this information, the American College of Rheumatology concluded in 1995 that silicone implants expose patients to no demonstrable additional risk for connective tissue or rheumatologic disease. After extensive review of the data and a report from the IOM, the FDA also concluded that there was no convincing evidence linking silicone implants with connective tissue disease. Restrictions on their use were lifted in 2006 [20]. Three manufacturers of silicone gel breast implants have demonstrated the relative safety of the silicone gel implants at a minimum follow-up of five years based upon the incidence of rupture (2 to 7.5 percent) and capsular contracture (10 to 11 percent) [21-23]. However, the FDA recommended that all women with silicone implants undergo regular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) screening throughout their lifetimes to assess for leakage (silent rupture), starting three years after the first implant surgery and every two years thereafter [20]. There is little evidence to support a recommendation for regular MRI screening, which is expensive and may lead to anxiety and false positive results, resulting in unnecessary surgery. Therefore, most experts agree that breast MRI should be used as a confirmatory diagnostic test and not be used to screen asymptomatic women for implant rupture [24,25]. (See "Complications of reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery", section on 'Rupture of silicone gel implants'.) The IOM findings included [26]: ●Toxicology studies of silicones and other substances known to be in breast implants do not provide a basis for health concerns. ●Local and perioperative complications are associated with breast implants. •Reoperations and local and perioperative complications are frequent enough to be a cause for concern and to justify the conclusion that they are the primary safety issue with silicone breast implants. •Risks of these complications accumulate over the lifetime of the implant. •Information concerning the nature and the relatively high frequency of local complications and reoperations is an essential element of adequate informed consent for women undergoing breast implantation. ●Studies addressing the immunology of silicones are limited and technical problems substantial, providing no support for an immunologic role of silicone. ●Epidemiological evidence suggests that there is no novel syndrome or disease associated with silicone breast implants. ●There is no increase in primary or recurrent breast cancer in implanted women. ●Some women with or without breast implants would be expected to develop connective tissue diseases, cancer, neurological diseases, or other systemic complaints or conditions. Evidence suggests that such diseases or conditions are no more common in women with breast implants than in women without implants. ●There is no evidence of elevated silicone in breast milk or any other substance that would be deleterious to infants; therefore, all mothers with implants should attempt breast feeding. ●Evidence for health effects in children related to maternal breast implants is insufficient or flawed." Let me know if you want any of the reference [numbers in brackets]
  19. Silicone breast implants (and their rupture) do not cause fatigue/malaise! Silicone/ruptured breast implants are not causing her fatigue and do not cause autoimmune disease or neurological disease/symptoms unless direct compression on a nerve/muscle and then just in the distribution of that nerve and/or muscle. It's not going to cause fatigue (systemic fatigue). Lymphadenopathy is not a cause of fatigue but a sign (an objective finding) and can be a sign of infection or cancer or other. In other words it is a finding that makes a person want to find the cause since it can be caused by serious disease. However with Yo, they were found to be caused by a localized site reaction to her ruptured silicone breasts from over 10 years ago. Blockage of the flow of lymphatic fluid (by lymphadenopathy) causes lymphedema (watch my 600# life or something like that). Lymphadenopathy, which causes of a back up of lymph fluid, can be seen as swelling (edema) in the lymphatic distribution region before the "blocked" lymph node (lymphatic fluid can back up and cause swelling or can drain via another lymph node depending on where the affected node is located). Patients with localized lymphadenopathy can be observed for three to four weeks if there is nothing else in the history and physical examination to suggest malignancy. This approach is safe and avoids unnecessary biopsies since the adenopathy will resolve or the cause will become obvious in many patients during that time. Even with "can't miss" diagnoses such as Hodgkin lymphoma, head and neck cancer, or tuberculosis, the window of opportunity for effective treatment is likely to remain open during this period of observation. Biopsy is appropriate if an abnormal node has not resolved after four weeks and should be performed promptly in patients with other findings suggesting malignancy (eg, rapid increase in size of the node; systemic complaints of fever, night sweats, weight loss). Empiric antibiotics — Empiric treatment of unexplained lymphadenopathy with antibiotics is not useful, because there are too many possible non-bacterial causes of lymphadenopathy that cannot be distinguished on clinical grounds alone. I have some hard lymph nodes in my neck (you have to press firmly on them to feel them) from acne as a youth. I so tired of the misinformation on silicone breast implants! People really should check out the following rather than rely on the false hysteria from decades ago! http://www.nap.edu/read/9602/chapter/1 Correlation does not equal causation!
  20. There is no ICD 10 code for "chronic lyme disease". He might as well diagnose her with demonic possession!
  21. He's a real doctor but he is still a quack. She needs to see a reputable doctor or facility. Dr. Klinghardt has had disciplinary action (license was suspended for 3 years and then probation). http://www.casewatch.org/board/med/klinghardt/order.shtml
  22. maybe they were laughing at Yolanda's hypocrisy and lies? maybe they were laughing as a form of self-defense or using good natured humor to cope with a concerning situation? how does anyone know the intent? saying someone looks like they are in a jiffy popcorn popper can be said without malicious intent and even someone like Yo could laugh about that. I could also see using humor to try to uplift some---hair loss from chemo...hey, at least you can save $ on shampoo/products or something like that. we haven't heard the comments and we don't know the intent maybe it would be better if no one talk to or about Yo and so no point in filming with her
