Update on July 2024.

 Since my treatments in Mexico I have since found the possibility’s of why my health hasn’t reached remission. I’m told my 4 upper root canals teeth are harbouring pathogens and bacteria becoming a breeding ground for Lyme to grow, that they are dead neurotic teeth , suppressing my immune system. I have done a dna connexions test to verify , which the results were shocking with over 18 gram bacteria residing in these teeth. 

 I have to make a devastating decision whether to have a chance of health but losing my front teeth at a young age of 37. There are no guarantees but I feel like I have tried every possible avenue to regain my health. I also have to think long and hard of how to replace these missing teeth. It’s been nearly 7 year of fighting for my health and living in survival , I’m willing to do what ever it takes. 

 I had a meeting with a U.K. biological dentist in June 2024 and have had a cbct scan and vitally testing which can show which teeth are alive or dead. The scan showed that there could be 7 teeth to be removed and cavitation surgery required on previous extraction, due to the periodontal ligament was left inside which can cause bone infection.

 

I’m currently using an old go fund as I don’t have the energy to type up a new one, the estimate of the removal, surgery and replacements is an amount of 20k. I know times are hard for everyone and I appreciate the help I had before, if you could help or even share my story It would be greatly appreciated. Below is my lyme story, I will update about my root canal & cavitation surgery on my teeth at later date. Blessings & take care all. 

Please can you Help YEN LAU get back to Mexico to heal lyme. 

How did a bite cause my whole world to collapse, Twice?!
Please help me get my life back. 

To be Fighting for my life for many years in a country that does not have a cure for chronic Lyme is unbearable.  The suffering i go through is truly unimaginable. I am not sure I have the strength to go through this emotionally or physically again, to just live a quarter life, merely existing and waiting for a good moment to live a few hours once every few days. If I am honest, after the second bite,

I felt that suicide was my only way out. It is truly a hopeless position to be left in.


Every minute Of everyday regardless of how I psychically appear i am still sick and in pain. When the symptoms give me a break I get to experience glimpses of life, and then payback with symptoms that are so severe and so intense, it is too cruel, all because I had a moment of living. On and on this will go, UNTIL I can get treatment. 

My go fund allowed me to fly to Mexico 
To Dr Calzada in Tijuana in October 2019. I got all treatments . 
I then rebooked for March 2020 and due to covid travel was cancelled. 

The treatments I got were , stem cells, ozone therapy, IV chelation, colon hydrotherapy, platelet rich plasma injections and Bio magnetics. 

There is no such treatment available in the U.K.  Patients visit the clinic 4 times, the first year and then several more the following years as ongoing treatment is a necessity to eradicate the disease.The clinic has a great success rate. 

The treatments costs £3500 per visit. 

This cost is a fraction of the price for the same treatment available in other countries. The money I have received has funded treatment as well as flights and accommodation. Hotel accommodation given with a patient discount can range from 1k -2K a week depending on the season. 
Flights from UK to San Diego range between £1000-£1500.

Every penny will truly help me heal. 

_____________________________________________






4 years ago I went camping in Loch Lomond in 2017, and was bitten by a tick.

Back then I had never heard of Lyme and was  totally unaware that a bite could cause this much destruction.

There is nothing on earth that could prepare any human being for what was going to happen. 6 weeks later my whole life was torn apart,  vanished overnight. 

I went from having such an amazing adventurous life, a happy, optimistic and bubbly character that loved and lived life to the fullest, working full time as a business manager/makeup artist.

Then all of a sudden my whole world collapsed in front of my eyes and all I could do was watch and endure the psychical  torture. I was left completely bedridden for months and in need of a wheel chair for my bad days. 
I have received many different diagnoses. After having the run around, visiting over numerous doctors.  After enduring so much suffering I stepped out of my comfort zone and plucked up the courage to go on a spiritual retreat in Crete. In the hope it would heal the traumatising wounds that Lyme had haunted & scarred me with. Shockingly, it broke me even more. 

The second infected tick bite has chronically suppressed my immune system even further affecting my organs.

Leaving me dependent on heart medications, Parkinson medication, steroids, thyroid medication, immune modulators , pain killers, inflammatory drugs and so many more symptom suppressing drugs that can’t cure my illness. Sometimes the medications stabilizes my symptoms, making my body able to survive but still not able to fully function. 

In the past years I have not been able to work, not once able to run or jog, go on a night out , dance, exercise, drive my car far, haven't touched a drop of alcohol. 

To just be me and just live without the worry of the aftermath. 

At my early and worst stages. I was not able to get out of bed, hardly able to walk, talk without slurring all my words with constant brain fog and forgetting what I was saying mid-sentence.

At 30 years old, having to be bathed by my little sister, as I was too weak...the only thing I could do was sob in the tub.

I had to use a bed pan as I couldn’t get to a bathroom. I ate in bed as my whole life was in bed. Laying still, I would feel the whole room spinning. I dealt with a 24/7, unbearable migraines/headaches, sickness and nausea. I lost all my gains, weighed only 7 stones at my most fragile state. I was dizzy every minute of the day feeling like I was being poisoned. It’s so hard to explain in words as I have never known pain like this could ever exist, with no end in sight.

The relentless suffering and symptoms attacking daily, it is inhumane.

My entire body aches, deep into my bones. It has left me trapped in a darkened room completely disconnected from the world. 

A prisoner in my own body trapped, inside a active motivated mind. 

Chronic Lyme disease is like being stuck in a burning building whilst on fire with no way out. Millions effected share this same analogy. 

So I read and researched relentlessly and read many self help cure books, took many supplements, followed many different protocols, herbal,  antibiotics, detoxed, binders, changed my diet numerous times.

I’ve paid to work with functional doctors, private infectious disease professors, numerous endocrinologist, neurologists, rheumatologist, physiotherapist, bio chemist, herbalist, naturopaths and nutritionalist. 

After Having the best  week  of my chronic illness life, on a spiritual retreat, meditating daily,  working on self love and self care. 

I was feeling semi normal.. it was amazing, I was smiling from ear to ear, I felt like the luckiest girl in the world, I thought this is my second chance at life... on the last day of the retreat I looked down and there it was again a tick stuck on my right arm. A bullseye EM rash appeared and even then I tried to remain calm and positive until the symptoms came back and knocked me down. 

Recently more and more coverage is coming out in the media and the news about the epidemic of chronic lyme.  There is a documentary available to watch on you tube:

BBC1 Scotland Disclosure Lyme disease uk.

When first bitten it can be treated with anti bios. However, I didn’t discover I have lyme until a year later. 

When it becomes chronic and the bacteria has eroded deep in to my tissues, organs and brain taking control over my body. The worst part of being sick daily, is having doctors tell you there is no cure.

There are really no words to explain the devastation and emptiness l feel. 

I do get good days and get back out In to the world I miss so much. Those are my victory days as I battle through symptoms but at a lower pain level. Those are the best days! Seeing an glimmer of my former self. 

I make the most of it,  smiling and I am so so happy. Embracing the simple joys of life. I wish I had those days everyday. Now I just live day by day, being present in the moment.

Despite my challenges I remained positive and try my best everyday to live and be the girl I am and not become my illness. 

Sadly I do get judged for my good days.

As invisible illnesses are so misunderstood.

The confusion of been seen out leaves room for disbelief. This part is heartbreaking, as these days are the days I’m winning the war with my own body. 

But that isn’t enough to sustain a life, few good days here and there. 

Living on a time restraint, only able to be out for a few hours before I crash. Watching everyone around me progress with their lives and careers, whilst life just stands still for me. 

This disease has robbed me of life and left me living a life out within my control.

It is beyond devastating .

I am still in disbelief that my life turned out this way. I lost my career, my independence, my home, the majority of my friends and even some family. 

The isolation is mind numbing. 

I’m left with a broken body, left fighting to function everyday. I desperately need treatment so I can try get back into the world I miss so much, or even for a better quality of life. I would be so so grateful.

All I want to do is live.


Living stuck in a human torture chamber and being stuck in a constant battle but looking well is the scariest, loneliest and most helpless feeling I could ever try to explain. 

I want to be cured and not managed by an army of medication.


Please help me, I Just want to live.
