Update 10/13:

I'm still in need of supplements for my healing journey, utility payments, non-food items and pet necessities. The neuropathy is debilitating which is preventing me from working to provide for myself. I have nerve conduction tests scheduled as well as appt with a neurologist. I'm sure I will get answers and a treatment plan. I'm praying for healing so I can get back to some type of normalcy. This has been a very humbling and life-changing experience. Any amount you can donate will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, my name is Julie. I've been hesitant to set up this fund, but it has become extremely necessary as I am struggling to support myself. Unfortunately, I am suffering from negative effects from long covid and the vaccines. Prior to making the decision to get the vaccines and getting the covid virus once (after getting 3 vaccines), I was a healthy, thriving woman just entering my 50's. I had issues with migraines and cervical neck pain but otherwise very healthy. I was working full time, exercising almost daily (biking, running, yoga, strength training) and enjoying my new home I just purchased in Sep 2020. Life WAS great! In early 2021, I began feeling extremely tired all the time. I tried testosterone cream, but stopped using it when my hair began thinning, breaking and falling out. I began experiencing unexplainable all over body pain, brain fog, and general weakness. I began losing weight rapidly. Some days, I could barely get out of bed. I had already been to a natureopathic practitioner prior to 2020, so I went back to see her and she discovered I was very sick and began suggesting supplements to try and get my body back in balance. Meanwhile, I developed a bacterial infection on my finger cuticles, malabsorption of necessary minerals & nutrients, thrush on my tongue and I became anemic. I went to see various western medicine providers. They ran bloodtests, everything else normal. I got iron infusions. Still not helping. I was given antibiotics on and off for 9 months. Still no improvement. I began getting skin lesions on my face, then my arms, legs, feet, everywhere. They were extremely painful. I kept taking supplements. Western medicine providers had no idea how to treat me so they ACCUSED me of doing this intentionally to my skin. I realized then, I better start researching and doing my homework because they obviously were not going to do that. I realized I had candida yeast overgrowth from taking too many antibiotics so I literally had to beg them to prescribe antifungal medications. Those did not help. I began noticing things moving under my skin, I was horrified. I went back to natureopathic practitioner. As soon as I walked in her office, she looked at me and said you have yeast overgrowth and most likely parasites are on the rise in your body. All of this is coming out of your skin because your elimination pathways are clogged. I began taking more natural supplements along with antifungal and antiparasitic meds that I literally had to beg for from western medicine providers. This has been going on for years, and I have developed neuropathy which is most prevalent in my arms and hands but all over my body. I have trouble doing simple tasks like getting out of bed, getting dressed, brushing my hair to name a few. I had to quit working because I can't muster up enough energy to focus on work. I'm physically, mentally and emotionally drained. I've been to the ER 10 times and switched western medicine providers. They all have insulted me, accused me of doing this to myself purposely, insinuated I was mentally unstable and put on my medical records presumptive positive for drugs and delusional parasitosis. I am absolutely horrified and so hurt by the lack of empathy and the insults of the western medical profession. I have lost the support of friends and family members because I could not get a "definitive diagnosis" and some family members accused me of self diagnosing and not getting proper medical care. I have 2 friends who have stuck by me, checked on me, helped as much as possible and can speak on my behalf that this is really happening to me. I just reached out to a yoga professional and holistic practitioner. They have validated my condition and it is 100% from the vaccines and covid. I need numerous supplements, spike protein detox, minerals and organic foods. I must move around and exercise as much as possible in order to reverse these effects and heal my body. I have no income, I've exhausted all resources for money. I'm trying to figure out ways to make money and work a few hours from home. I have sold what I can to make ends meet. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs that I love and need their companionship, but they need daily necessities as well. I finally got food stamps and go to food banks. They don't provide non-food items. I've received some assistance from catholic charities but they can only help once a year. I did a loan modification with my mortgage company for the 2nd time so I don't lose my home. I'm being very open and transparent here and I am asking for help. Medicaid will not pay for supplements. I know I can heal and get my life back. I know my faith in Christ has carried me through thus far. So now, I'm asking for help from anyone who is willing to help get me through this final phase. I know I can do this. I will be forever grateful to anyone who can contribute. Thank you. Anything you donate is greatly appreciated.
