Arshiyas medical fund

Donation protected
Arshiya was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the age of six. She is now 24 years old (september 2016). With MS most commonly developing in people at around the age of 30, and very rare in young children,  Arshiya's was an exceptional case. 

From the age of 16, Arshiya's MS has progressed to the secondary stage where she is now semi bed bound, either in bed or a tilt recliner  wheelchair.  She is unable to perform the basic daily living tasks due to increased constant tremors. She requires full-time care with everything such as bathing, toileting, dressing and feeding etc, which is quite uncomfortable and embarrassing for her. As well as her body tremorring, her eyes tremor so much so that she experiences nausea and dizziness all the time . With the constant tremors, she gets tired very quickly. MS has affected her speech so badly that she has difficulty communicating with others. On a bad day even her mum cannot understand her.  She is also severely visually impaired. Arshiya was unable to complete her studies to fulfil her strong desire to become a teacher. 

Arshiya suffers from constant depression, mood swings tearfulness and frustrations due to her condition. Prior to her illness Arshiya was a very happy and lively child.

Unfortunately this cruel and debilitating illness has robbed her of everything in her life. She now has to depend on her mum and carers for every little thing. Even when she's starving she cannot eat or drink unless somebody puts food or drink  in her mouth and even then chewing and swallowing becomes a mission. On a bad day she cannot get out of bed so gets cared for in bed and has to be peg fed ( via a tube fitted in her belly ) because she doesnt have the energy to eat.

 Arshiyas condition has now deteriorated and the NHS has decided not to fund for vital treatment that would help  her overcome her disability and live a normal life.  She is desperate to get well and  be able to do things all people of her age do. She says she would love to enjoying life and have fun like all other young people. She had dreams and ambitions.  Her mums trying all she can to help her achieve them.

We recently discovered CET (Cell Energy Treatment) that would help overcome her condition. CET treatment would be longterm and ongoing, so Arshiya would always need to have funding in place, which would cost her £250 per session needing weekly treatment.

As MS is a complex debilitating life long illness, one  treatment cannot treat everything so Arshiya needs a combination of alternative treatments as well in order to aid her to better health. Therefore she will  also be having Chinese treatment  as well which include , acupuncture,cupping, massage as well as a herbal drink.  Arshiya has already had 10  weekly sessions of chinese treatment which helped her alot and so would like to carry on with them  with enough funding. This treatment cost her  £1800 for 10 weekly treatments but she was unable to continue due to lack of funding. Nhs will not fund chinese treatment for ms. They do it for other minor illnesses but not for ms.

MS is a life long illness so any treatment she has will be ongoing.

With limited funds that she receives money goes towards her care so no amount to save up for the treatment. Arshiya desperately needs help to get treatment privately. Whatever the amount, a donation towards her medical expense will be very much appreciated.

Please donate  generousely to help arshiya.

many thanks
