            Dear Friends, I reopened this 'Go Found Me' because it was closed by its time-limit before the goal was reached. I'm heartly thanking al of You who have already contributed, but please share this 'Go Found Me' with as many as possible once more, because the situation is continously worsened by time, and my dear friend Ulrika is loosing hope. 

Ulrika doesn't ask anyone to donate more, or to donate if they can't, or don't feel they don't want to, but just to kindly please share this 'Go Found Me' so that it reaches more people around Sweden and the world. It's really very hard to expose your whole life and suffering and Ulrika would never agree to this if she was not in such a terrible despair. 

Those of You who feel that You can give a donation, You should know that it's heartly welcomed and crucially needed. Ulrika has since many years been ill after having broken her neck, having a severe fracture on her back, injuries on the brain and brainstem, and the central nerve-system. This led to several operations on twelve levels of her spine. The operations, which where done both in Sweden and abroad, saved her from being paralysed, but left her with a cronical nervepain through the whole nerve-system, sceleton, joints - especially hips and knees - and lower back, making all kinds of movements, or even laying down, very difficult and painful. Ulrika describes her pain as a combination of being burned, having acid poured on her sceleton and being electrified. Due to the stress this has caused the body, Ulrika got adrelanin gland hypothalamus, and her body also stopped producing it's own cortisol - which is a serious illness called Addison. Ulrika's immune-system have collapsed and one by one the productions of other hormones also have started to fail. During the fourteen years that have passed since the first operation Ulrika's condition has increasingly gone worse. She is bedridden with horrific pain around the clock, screaming and crying when the pain is peaking, and constantly exhausted by both the pain and brain-fatigue. During these years she has spent all her savings on medical treatments and painrelief, but still it's just getting worse. Quite recently she had her blood checked by experts in Germany who found out that she had many different kinds of bacterias, viruses and parasites in her blood - among them epstein-barr virus and chronic lyme decreases such as bartonella, barbesia, and rickettsia- caused by old undetected, and therefore untreated, tick-bites. These bacterias, viruses and parasites have inflamated her red blood cells, brainsteam and whole nervesystem and explaines why Ulrika's condition constantly has gone worse, and according to these experts they will, untreated, ultimately lead to her death. Ulrika has now found out that there are clinics in Germany which provides treatment from these bacterias, viruses and parasites, but the biggest obstacle is that Ulrika has to finance this treatment herself since it is not approved in Sweden. The treatment is very tough and her organs also need to be supported by high doses of herbal medicine during the whole time not to collapse. Both the treatment at the German clinic and the herbal medicines are very expensive. Recently a friend of her therefore started a "Go Found Me" for Ulrika, but although some Kindhearted people generously contributed, it didn't get spread enough to have more than a small part of the costs covered. Only the first part of the treatment will cover a time-period of one year and approximately cost Ulrika 100 000 Swedish kronor (around 10 000 €). Ulrika has refused to give up during all these years, always trying to find a solution, but she is now starting to loose hope because of the costs, because she is so exhausted, and not least because of the increasing pain. I therefore now make a new try and hope that my friends, and their friends, and so forth, collectively will help Ulrika to get her treatment and come back to Life. 
Before her injury Ulrika had just finished her seven year long education at the Lund University and achieved the job that she had been aiming at, and working very hard to get. She wants no more than being able to go back to this work and continue on her life. Please help her get the chance by giving a contribution for her treatment, or, if a financial contribution is not possible, by forwarding this to as many people as possible.

With Love/
Johanne Maria
