I was a healthy, active 43-year-old woman almost 5 years ago. I was coming out of an abusive relationship and looking forward to a new life. Unfortunately, my new life was another nightmare. I couldn't get out of bed, I couldn't think, my whole body hurt, and I was going blind. I had no idea what was happening to me, and doctors weren't any help. I discovered I have Lyme disease. This disease is terrifying; you don't know from day to day what is going to happen and to what part of your body it will decide to take over. I've lost everything, but I have to continue to fight this on my own. I don't have any insurance or means to go to a Lyme specialist or to afford any of the supplements I desperately need. My current living conditions are not ideal. I'm in an RV that has water damage and mold, which is an activator of Lyme. I just need help. This is not easy for me to come here and ask, but I'm at the end of my rope. I'm dying and completely alone. I know there's not much compassion for a 47-year-old woman, but I'm a human in total despair. If someone can show that I do matter, maybe I won't give up hope. Ty
