As most are aware, Kim Kardashian West suffered a horrific health scare during the season 17 premiere of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Determined to figure out why her hands were swollen and her wrists were constantly aching, the episode followed the mum-of-four as she underwent a series of tests and was eventually told that she’d tested positive for lupus and arthritis antibodies. While the diagnosis left the reality TV star in tears, the doctor reassured her that false positives were a possibility.
Since the eventful episode aired on Sunday evening, the KKW Beauty founder has opened up about her health troubles, revealing on The Today Show that she fell into a deep depression when she discovered the severity of her potential diagnosis.

“Autoimmune diseases are really scary. When it’s really up in the air, you get in your head and you think of every worst possibility of what’s going to happen and how you’re going to live your life,” she told Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie this morning while on air.
She continued: “You get into this little depression for a minute and I got myself out of it but it was really scary to have to go through that.”
While we will have to wait until next Sunday’s episode to find out the final diagnosis, Kim said she has been working closely with a doctor and her condition is now being treated with medication after natural remedies and treatments didn’t fix the problem.
“I was able to find an amazing doctor and we figured out what the problem is,” she began. “I, unfortunately, had to be put on medication to stop the symptoms.”
“Luckily everything is under control,” she assured.
During KUWTK episode, the Khloe and Tristan saga continued. Ahead of their daughter True Thompson’s lavish 1st birthday party, the Good American founder— who had been separated from Tristan for over three months at that point—said she was overly nervous for the NBA player to attend the celebration.
“I still have not spoken to Tristan face-to-face. And, right now, I’m not ready to,” Khloe said. “I know I’ll get to that place. Right now, it’s really challenging and tough for me.
“I literally just had to block Tristan because…I’m really just sick and tired of being the bigger person,” Khloe told her mum Kris Jenner and sister Kourtney Kardashian. “I sincerely don’t want him at True’s party and that’s not wrong of me, right?”
After weighing up her options, the reality TV star invited her cheating ex-boyfriend— and in an attempt to get ahead of the awkwardness, Khloe had Tristan come over the night before True’s bash to clear the air. Within minutes of him arriving she knew she’d made a huge mistake when he tried to kiss her.
“He was like, ‘Can I have a hug?’ And then I one-arm hugged him and he was like, ‘One? A one-handed hug?'” the Revenge Body host relayed to her shocked glam team.
“I was like, ‘That’s nice enough.’ And then he tried to kiss me and I go, ‘This is the problem with you. You can’t just take what you get.'”

While she quickly pushed him off— later asking him if he thought she had a sign on her head that read “dumb f***ing wh*re”— Tristan continued to shower the mum-of-one in compliments.
“I just wanted him to know, ‘I’m inviting you because you’re True’s dad and I do believe you should be there.’ And I think that’s the best choice for True, that’s really it,” Khloe admitted later on. “I don’t want him to take it the wrong way. ‘Cause, sometimes I feel like if I give an inch he takes a mile.”
While she tried to remain calm and collected during the celebrations, it ended in tears when she discovered Tristan had complained to Kanye West— Kim’s husband— about his portrayal in the KUWTK season 16 promo trailer.
“We don’t control the narrative,” said Kim who shares four children with the “Gold Digger” rapper.
“Everyone thinks they’re doing the right thing,” Khloe concluded. “And I know everyone’s intention is to help and be protective and all of that, but at True’s birthday it’s not the right timing.”
