Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Star Yolanda Hadid opens up about the invisible disease that's plagued her for years. Her desperate search for a cure that took her to over 10 countries and more than 100 doctors, and her response to her critics who say she's making it all up. Yolanda sets the record straight. Yolanda Hadid's appearance on THE DR. OZ SHOW airs today, March 1, 2016

On how her disease has affected her children, Hadid shares: "It made them grow up all of a sudden, a lot faster. And there were nights where Gigi, at three o'clock in the morning, had to drive me to the emergency room because I had such severe inflammation in my brain that I'd be balling on the floor like please take me to the hospital. So you know, and not just Gigi driving, Anwar and Bella in the back of the car and the three of us going to the hospital. And, them being there, they learn to take charge and be my strength."

On what motivates her to keep fighting, Hadid says: "My children is what kept me alive. I remember just waiting for them to get out of school, just to give them a hug and look at them for hope. I mean they're the ones that kept me fighting and wanting to live. There were many days that I really didn't want to live anymore. But when you look at your children it's not a choice anymore, right? You have to. You have to get through. You have to keep fighting and searching to get well."
