Please help Felicity heal from autoimmune disease

Donation protected
Hello to all my friends
 
As many of you know, in 2016 my health fell apart and I became severely ill with a diagnosis of Lyme disease. I received many diagnoses at the time - parasites, leaky gut, Hashimoto's autoimmune disease, Lyme disease and tick-borne coinfections, reactivated epstein barr virus, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, IBS, chronic tonsillitis, SIBO, candida, chronic cystitis, functional neurological symptoms and mast cell activation syndrome.
 
Fortunately, after 3 years of failed treatments and worsening symptoms that left me bedbound, in 2019 I found an amazing treatment in India at an ayurvedic hospital called Vaidyagrama in Coimbatore, that specialises in treating complex autoimmune diseases and chronic illnesses with herbal medicine. Herbal medicine sounds like quackery to a lot of people but it is the most ancient system of medicine we have and has been around for over 5000 years. It was my only option left at the time and it was recommended to me by someone who knew of a similar story to mine who finally got better. I stayed in India for 3 months and then over the next 6 months after returning home I gradually got better from these herbs. It was a miracle for me after years of illness and long periods of being totally bedbound. I had my life back completely in 2020 and was able to move out and be independent again, work full time again, exercise again and live a fulfilled life.
 
Unfortunately in 2021 my health deteriorated again after unknowingly being exposed to black mould that built up to high levels in my system, so my immune system deteriorated again. I have also had a diagnosis of long covid after receiving the vaccines. Since then I have been struggling with chronic infections such as strep, giardia and mycoplasma as my immunity is not strong enough for me to stop catching things in day to day life.

I have begun my healing journey to get over this again and have faced a few hurdles along the way so far. I hope in 2022 to be able to rebuild my immune system for good this time. It is has been a very hard choice for me to ask people for help as I have not asked for anything up to this point, but I have decided to reach out and I am asking my friends if they could donate anything they might be able to spare to help me with the remaining medical expenses I will have this year to get back to full health.  
 
These bills will cover:
£400 a month to have 2 phone calls a month with my primary doctor on an ongoing basis 
£200 a month on medicines and herbs each month 
£1500 for the private tests I need to work out what else is wrong
£500 a month for treatments in London that will help to rebuild my immunity.  
 
There are always extra costs along the way, but if anyone could help, no matter how little or small it would make the world of difference to my life.
 
Thank you
Felicity
