Support Colm's Lyme Disease Treatment

Dear Friends

My name is Colm Munnelly and I am reaching out today with a heavy heart to ask for your support.

It’s hard to believe I am creating a Go Fund Me page due to illness that has had a devastating affect on me and my family.

Looking back this all started in 2019 with unexplained health issues but it was not until April 2020 that my health took a major deterioration which prevented me from working and caused me to be housebound.

In 2021 Armin labs in Germany confirmed I had Lyme disease. Since then I have tried almost everything available to me here; long term antibiotics, herbal treatment, naturopathic nutritional therapy, Bio magnestic pair therapy, kinesiology, reiki, acupuncture, lymphatic massages and reflexology just to name a few.

While I have made some progress I still live with constant pain, gut problems, chronic fatigue and neurological issues.

I’m an electrician by trade and part of my work was to travel the length and breath of the country working on ladders whereas now the school run and standing at a football match takes a huge exertion.

I am someone that despite everything tries to push forward but illness keeps knocking me back. It has stopped me from working, living and being the partner to Melissa and father to my girls Olivia and Lauren that I should be.

This chronic illness is not very well supported here in Ireland so we have had to fund all the treatments ourselves which has used up our rainy day funds and for me to take the next step on the road to my recovery I really need your help.

After a lot of research I established that the next step for me is to attend a clinic in Cyprus called Neomed Institute. They have knowledge and treatments that I cannot receive here in Ireland.

They have developed an intensive program for me which involves targeting the complex underlying causes through a series of treatments. From our consultations they have derived a 5-6 week program depending on my body’s responses. They have offered me a place in early February which would be great to accept.

This has not being an easy decision to seek out treatment in a different country and to leave my family behind but it is a necessary one so after this treatment I can start to think about going back to work and living again. I hope you can help me on this journey.

Thank you all for taking the time to read my story. Your generosity and financial support will help cover my treatment, accommodation, flights and transport and go a long way towards putting me on the road of recovery.

Thank you

Colm
