Help Jesse kick Lyme disease in the teeth!
Donation protected
My brother Jesse has been battling Lyme disease for the past four years. At first, we weren't entirely sure what was causing his brain fog. He would become disoriented easily. He would have trouble following a conversation. Sleep became an issue for him, some nights only getting 3-4 hours. He couldn't go into grocery stores or other visually busy areas as it would cause him to become disoriented and dizzy.
Jesse saw eight different doctors since 2019. Three primary care doctors, an ear and balance center, a neurologist who could not identify an issue after an MRI of his brain, a naturopath, a homeopath, and a vestibular rehabilitation physician. This summer, he was tested for Lyme and had a CDC positive despite never having a bullseye rash. He just finished three months of antibiotics without any improvement in his symptoms.
His latest primary care physician has referred him to Dr. Amiram Katz, a neurologist who has specialized in Lyme for over 40 years. All of his symptoms are neurological, and there's hope he can help. Unfortunately, insurance has denied covering this treatment plan, and these visits and treatments can be very costly.
Please consider donating to help my brother beat this debilitating disease and help get him feeling better soon!
