Suffering from chronic LYME Disease, need to raise funds for URGENT treatment

Canterbury

Hi,

First of all a huge thank you for looking at my page!

My story is very long and complex but it has come to this point of desperation where I feel I will sadly get worse to the point of no return if I don't get some treatment I badly need. Unfortunately I can't get it in Christchurch and I will need to travel to get treatment.

We have used every resource available to us and spent thousands trying to understand my illness. It was only recently I have been diagnosed with Long term Chronic Lyme Disease. This has been confirmed by three separate Doctors (Australia, USA and Germany).

Lyme is very difficult to treat conventionally and many Doctors do not understand it and the serious affect it has on individuals and family.

The Affect it has on me?

I feel dizzy all the time

Tremors

Chronic Depression

Only able to walk short distances

Blurred Vision

Bed ridden for many days

Hair loss

Teeth infections (had teeth removed)

Poor immune system causing continuous infections

Adrenal Fatigue

Long standing underactive thyroid

To sum it up my whole Central Nervous System is constantly under attack from the Lyme Bacteria and Co-infections.

Where from here?

There is a specialised Doctor in Nelson who offers treatment for Lyme. His treatment involves antibiotics, microbial and a Hypobaric Chamber which is beyond what we can afford. We would need to move there during this three month treatment. As part of the $12000 I am hoping to raise I am going to get a portable Infrared Sauna which I can use at home for my Detoxing regime. After this I would need to get further treatment but one step at a time.......................
