Help Erich Rasimus get treatments for Lyme
Hi My name is Erich Rasimus,
I have chronic Lyme disease and have been in treatment over the last 10 years with my Lyme specialist in Germany. Due to the Lockdowns in Germany I had to close my business running a swim school for children. The German government closed all pools in Germany as part of the lockdown policy. I was out of work for over a year and ended up using all my savings up to pay for my basic living expenses. Since I am self-employed I did not receive any government assistance in Germany. In December 2020 I flew to Carson City Nevada to spend time with family because Germany was still in Lockdown and I did not want to be alone in Germany with no work and not being able to do anything due to the Lockdown. I had planned on staying only 6 weeks and then return to Germany so I could continue treating my Lyme. As it turned out the international flying rules had changed and in order to get back to Germany I would need to provide a negative covid-19 PCR test at my arrival in Frankfurt no older than 48 hours. The 48 hour rule made it impossible for me to get back to Germany. I have now been in Carson City Nevada nearly 7 months without my Lyme treatments and therapies and my physical condition and health have deteriorated rapidly. The inflammation in my body has spread to all of my back and rib muscles causing muscle spasms and cramps all day long, I am in constant pain and find it extremely difficult to focus and do the simplest of tasks. Due to the inflammation in my back and ribs I struggle to do the simplest of things like washing my hands or lifting a glass up to drink because of the pain and spasms using my muscles causes. I am scheduled to fly back to Germany on August 25th, the flying rules now allow 72 hours for the negative PCR test, the problem is in my current state of health I am not well enough to make the flight back. What I desperately need is to get treatment here in Carson and Reno with specialists that can give me the treatments I need to help get pain-free and well again. Because of the Lockodwn and not working I don't have the money for seeing specialists that can provide treatments that will help me recover. I don't have health insurance here in the U.S only in Germany, thus any medical expenses here in the U.S would come out of my pocket and my bank account just doesn't have that kind of money. The pools are open again in Germany and I am planning on starting my business up again in September if I can get pain free and healthy enough to do it. In my current state of health I am not capable of doing that. That is why I am setting up this Gofundme page to try and help raise the money needed to get proper medical care here, like ozone therapy, Bee venom therapy, nerve block injections in my back and ribs to control the inflammation that is causing so much pain in my body. Thank you for any donation to help me get well and pain-free.
