My name is Natalie and i have late stage neurological lyme like disease.I didnt want to have to do this but i need to get back overseas for more treatment ive been fighting neuroborreliosis late stage lyme like disease and multiple tick borne coinfections for 6 years needed full time care for 4 years, its been hell on earth but i know i have to stay here for my daughter.
Worked all my life contracted Neuroborreliosis at work and other tick borne diseases left untreated for a decade due to ignorance in this country i slowly deteriorated then last bite at work and steroid administration had me paralysed svere pain twitching all over not being able to walk talk or control bladder bowel function or breath properly coudnt swallow or hold my head up my organs were shutting down .Denied appropriate treatment the disease ravaged every inch of me severe polyneuropathy radiculoneuritis meningitis total immune colllase and the body attacking itself including attacking my brain and nerves
My marriage has broken down
im still in chronic pain and housebound and bedbound alot very frail weak and scared, i have alot of damage done to brain and body but also have resistant chronic infections due to total immune supression.
My elderly parents can only do so much they are looking after my daughter who is also affected by this
I cry myself to sleep most nights between the pain and not being to have my daughter with me as im too sick so much pain noise sensitivity light inflammation and complete weakness i cant even look after her
i do my best the times i do have her but its so hard
we have very little support
i need to get overseas for treatment in a clinic set up to treat my disease with treatments i need and cant access here in Australia i require blood cleaning hyperbaric oxygen hyperthermia and possible stem cell therapy.
My insurance will not cover overseas treatment but i need it
