Life changing Lyme treatment in Cyprus

Donation protected
Four months ago my daughter Jess was bitten by a tick in NSW whilst camping at a place called Depot Beach.

Within a few hours of arriving there she became very ill. She was unable to see or move her arms and had a migraine so bad she went to sleep for 12+ hours. When she woke the next day she found a huge tick stuck in the side of her neck. Not knowing anything about ticks and their dangers, they just pulled it out and continued on the trip.

The Australian Government stance on Lyme disease is that you can’t catch Lyme disease in Australia. Google it, that’s a fact.

I wonder how that explains all of the people who HAVE been bitten by an infected tick in Australia and DO have Lyme disease?

After 3 months of constant pain, nerve pain, daily headaches, styes in her eyes, constant sinus infections, migraines, hallucinations, high temps/fevers, major gut and digestion issues, brain fog, trouble speaking and then weakness in her arms/hands and trouble with coordination, Jess went to a naturopath, then to a doctor who sent her for some blood tests. These tests confirmed that she was in fact positive for at least two strains of Lyme Disease and a variety of it’s co-infections.

Treatment is hard to non existent in Australia as the Australian Government are yet to acknowledge its existence, so after much research and help Jess found a treatment centre in Cyprus that are having great results to control the disease and also to help the body repair the damage already done.

Jess was fortunate in getting an early diagnosis of this debilitating disease, and so I am currently in Cyprus with her and Shayne her husband will be here in a couple more weeks.

She has commenced treatment but of course there are newer, cutting edge treatments that would benefit her so much more (Stem cell therapy) but at about $10,000 per week they are very expensive and the recommended treatment time is 4 weeks!

This stem cell therapy comes highly recommended by other Lyme patients and seems to make all the difference.

We her family would love for her to be able to add this to her treatment plan for the best possible benefit and outcome for her health, her future and her young family.

This go fund me campaign will hopefully allow Jess to add at least another week of this therapy into her routine.

Any help would be gratefully accepted and hugely appreciated.
