A Fighting Chance For Cyrese

My name is Ken Knauf and this is my fiancé Cyrese. She is fighting for her life as she is battling Chronic Lyme Disease and a form of just about every Tick Bourne co-infection. This disease is unpredictable and relentless and over 90 percent of her treatment in NOT covered by insurance. The specialist in the field of Lyme are also NOT covered by insurance. It invaded her body at a young age of around 7. She often cut through a field to get to her friends house because road was to busy. She came home daily covered in ticks. This disease has picked away at her all her life only to finally be diagnosed in 2015 with this insanely debilitating MONSTER. In those short years it has depleted many of her organ functions drastically and routinely drops this once vibrant energetic active mother of three to her knees. Every time treatment begins it has to be backed off of because systems start to shut down. Her kidneys are late stage three, her pancreas is almost gone it’s in her brain and heart and has managed to get into all her bones muscles and joints and tissues. Her thyroid is not functioning properly and the weakness, fatigue and pain is debilitating to the point of her needing help with the smallest of daily routines at times. She is unable to get a job because each day sometimes each moment for her is different. She could be great and five minutes later curled up in incredible pain. Looks are deceiving with this disease. In the picture shared we are at the County Fair sharing Lyme Awareness a passion for us because many do not understand just what it is and does and what to do and where to go if you get sick and are being told there is nothing wrong with you. I am asking for help to be able to send her to Envita Medical Center in Scottsdale AZ. Here they can treat her whole body and monitor closely her organ functions and respond immediately to prevent failure as well as do the necessary testing to make sure treatment is working. It is typically a 10 week program of intense but effective and safe use of natural and conventional medicine to help her. Often both are needed in riding the body of all of these bacteria. You see Lyme hides from antibiotics and can present itself as a healthy cell. Each Lyme patient is different in how they respond to treatment. There they would also be able to get her through the mass herxhiemer reactions that happens during die off. During her herx’s she tend to turn to mush riddled with every symptom she has ever had intensified by 100 times over. She has had over 135 different symptoms at one time. It’s maddening when you think about it. Our goal is to raise the money to send her there. 10 weeks is 34K out of pocket not to mention cost to get there stay there, eat there and receive any treatment outside of the initial 34K. Our max goal is 70K for any additional unforeseen expenses that may arrive while there. Any leftover would be donated to the New Lyme Wellness Center opening in our home town. Date and name TBA.
