Yolanda Foster’s struggle with Lyme disease interfered with her ability to fully participate in taping “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” reunion.

A source close to the situation confirmed to Access Hollywood that the reality star could only contribute to a portion of the 10-hour shooting day, due to her illness. Producers also rearranged the scheduled to accommodate Yolanda’s availability to be present.

Yolanda has kept her battle with Lyme disease no secret from fans. She’s been very open about her constant struggles and treatment on the show and on social media.

“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,” Yolanda wrote in a January 15 blog post.

Andy Cohen, who moderated the February 20 reunion, Tweeted after the cameras stopped rolling.
