Please help! Lyme disease complications

Donation protected
Hi my name is Beth and until last spring I was being treated for Lyme disease with pulsed antibiotics and I was working, happy and in remission. In 2002 I started the NC Lyme Disease Foundation to help others with this horrible disease. I did all this while working and being sick myself. After a bad food poisoning incident last Spring, my gut was permanently messed up and now I cannot take any medication for Lyme disease. I need a fecal transplant that is costing me $6000 alone just for that procedure. With the fecal transplant, I can again hopefully begin to treat my disease. I have had this over 25 years and have never asked for help from anyone. I am a very hardworking and proud individual and now I need help. Thank you for anything you can provide.
Update:
I have now been informed by my Drs that I will need vagal nerve work, neurofeedback and Super oligonucleatide therapy for my tick borne infections. This is why I am raising my goal as one SOT alone is $2600 and I will likely need 6-10 over the course of many months. SOT helps prevent replication of the bacterial pathogens. The SOT can run $20,000-$30,000 alone. Thank you for any help you can offer. No donation is too small. Kathy is doing extra pet sitting work to try and help out with expenses as much as possible. This disease has cost me my retirement savings and I just want to get back to some quality of life. Please understand that the treatments for this disease ARE Not covered by insurance. The only thing that is covered is bloodwork. All treatments are out of pocket because they are all experimental. Please help me if you can. Thank you very much!
