In mid to late May of 2024, I found a tick behind my ear one day. A couple of weeks after that I woke up with a flood of symptoms all over my body. The pain and stiffness were hard to believe. The fatigue was overwhelming, and a lot of weight just fell off of me in no time. At 1st, I didn't make the connection with the tick bite, then as soon as I remembered it, I just knew I had Lyme disease. However, 2 test results came back negative, but folks kept telling me I needed to see a Lyme specialist because they have more sensitive tests. I

had heard of one in Mobile, AL, and one in Nashville, TN, and just before I headed off to Mobile, I found out about one in Columbus, GA. I started seeing her in August, but was already about 3 months into symptoms. She sends her lab work to California, and we did get a positive result then. She put me on a regimen of about a half a dozen different antibiotics for 5 or 6 months, and I did improve quite a bit, but as soon as we stopped those, I had no further improvements. Then I had a few setbacks, but tended to bounce back from those; however, in the last 2 or 3 months, I've been going downhill again and losing weight again too. I understand that's not uncommon for Lyme patients, because it does so much damage to just about any organ system in the body depending on the individual, and the Lyme bacteria burrows into the tissues and hides from treatment. My specialist tried quite a few different medications, supplements and other supposed solutions as well, but still with no change or improvements. So even with the specialists, patients end up exhausting their doctor's resources for what they can do and for Lyme patients here. Now I have found out about Sanoviv Medical Institute who is world renowned for treating Lyme disease and offer all kinds of treatments and therapies that have not even been mentioned here much less offered. I have been approved for their Lyme program and am headed that way on October 5th. However, it's going to be rather expensive to go, especially since I've already spent quite a fortune so far, since insurance doesn't cover it. Therefore, I'm asking for your help to receive the treatments I need to heal from this dreaded disease. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Susan.
