Chronic lyme disease is no joke and it is eating away my daughter and her life.
Perhaps she appears healthy in this picture. But she has lost over 30 pounds in the last two months and her hair is falling out in clumps.
Chronic lyme disease is spreading rapidly and we need to know more about it. It is a bacteria that burrows into tissue and changes its appearance, causing serious heart, brain, and neurological issues.
Diagnosis is expensive and the treatment regimen is expensive to maintain. Research is discouraged and incredibly hard to find because the major profit-based insurance companies discredit pioneering doctors who agree that it is a serious problem and that it deserves attention.
Just a little insight as to how quickly this can change your life.
The medical bills (labs and antibiotics) are piling up because the insurance companies would rather pay investors a high return - investors who are more worried about gold watches, new jet skis, or the latest HD TV set than the health of their neighbors and the communities in which they buy their services. Disposable income should not equate to disposable people.
This campaign is not only for her. Over the coming months, I will be adding information to this site, my social media streams and a blog that, until now, was for my writing exercise. It is about to become my platform for my daughter's life, her children and the millions of others who are being ravaged by this disease.
Any help you might be able to extend will help her chip away at the expense and keep her sanity and her children's mother alive.
