Donate to Keep Lyme Treatment Progress Going

Hi friends. I'm looking for a little assistance continuing my lyme (+coinfection) treatment. I've debated doing this, because it's a little uncomfortable to ask. However, if you know me or my husband, you know we like to give back. We've been very fortunate in life and we believe in paying it forward. So I guess it's just my turn to ask.

After switching gears with my lyme treatment about a year ago, I've finally made considerable progress. My new doctor helped me understand how to detox properly and rigorously, so that the die-off from treatment doesn't recirculate in my body making me feel even sicker. And, I've been able to find a balance and a plan that-- for the most part-- enables me to keep working and living my 33-year-old equestrian and animal rescue lifestyle, so I can keep impacting the lives of others.

A lot of my original symptoms including stomach pain, recurrent hives and mast cell activation, TMJ, nausea, bladder/urinary issues, food sensitivity, slurred words, etc. are gone, or haven't resurfaced in over 10 months. This feels incredibly freeing, after being sick and "not right" for 12 years.

The remaining symptoms (back/neck pain, headaches, migraines, nerve pain in my face, fatigue, fevers) have reduced in frequency significantly, from multiple times a week or once a month or less! I'm getting better, it's just taking a little longer than I had expected. I've learned that this is very common with chronic lyme, so I'm still feeling positive.

To continue my pain management meds and my treatment plan, it costs about $500/month. This is for my pain management meds in addition to the meds/supplements/IVs that are fighting the lyme, babesia, mold toxicity, and parasites, which are all contributing to my symptoms. This is actually down from what it was costing me a few months ago, because I've been able to wean off of some things.

I know times are hard for a lot of people right now, but my hope is to raise enough to help with the next year of treatment ($6,000). Sadly, but unsurprisingly, my insurance doesn't cover anything. Any little bit helps. Between our recent purchase of our first home, plus quite a few unexpected major expenses since moving (hello homeownership!), this would greatly help me in continuing on this path.

I'm happy to answer any questions folks may have.

And I will pay it forward. Y'all have my word.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
