Save Samantha - My Friends Story with Lyme Disease  It should have been a happy and fun day taking 8 little boys into the woods in Whyteleafe/Warlingham Surrey for a Paintballing Party and has ended up being the nightmare from hell. Little did we know but a tick questing had hooked her leg and was already making its way into any crevice it could find to start sinking its jaws into her like a vampire and sucking her blood, whilst regurgitating the contents of its stomach and infections from its saliva into her system containing Lyme Disease, Babesia Duncani, Bartonella Henselae and Tick Borne Relapsing Fever.  You dont feel the bite as the tick injects you first with an anesthetic. She didn't even know what a tick or Lyme Disease was or was made aware that the place they were visiting was actually a hot spot for ticks.  There were no warnings of just how dangerous a tick can be for a Human. She found the bite, had the bullseye rash but yet was still ignored by the NHS as so many Lyme Sufferers are as they believe the disease is rare in the UK but alas it isn't.   Instead of catching the disease early and prescribing Anti Biotics, she was only given fungal topical cream 3 times. She completely collapsed End July 2017 and has been struggling on ever since but she is getting worse and needs stronger overseas treatment to help her,  every day that goes by she is becoming more frail and weak  and she desperately needs help.  All she wants is to be well and re-united with her son everyday. It took an overseas DNA test from America to confirm the diagnosis and she is constantly in and out of hospital but she still tries to smile and keep positive but this wont make her well again. We all see Humans but please lets see some Humanity.  Her little boy loves her so much as she does him too, they were inseparable and she also has a disabled brother so needs all the help we can give her.  Her son loves Chelsea Football Team having a middle name of Stamford after their ground. All she wants is to be not in pain, suffering everyday and to function again normally, she had a perfect happy life finally, a beautiful little boy, an amazing full time job and has worked hard all her life sometimes over 50 hours per week she gave to build businesses and to provide for her little one. Now on Fentanyl Patches which are 100 times stronger than Morphine and constant pain relief and will be in a wheelchair soon. Lyme Disease doesn't discriminate whatever race, religion, gender, age it will take you down and can affect neurological, musculoskeletal,  cardiovascular and the Central Nervous System within your body, basically its like being tortured alive everyday, I know because I have been there too but I'm now in remission and we must help Sam reach this point. Doctors ignore you, Friends and Family slowly leave you which makes this illness so isolating, she has touched my life and been so supportive to others.   I'm sure if you think back too at some point she has been there for you in whatever way and I hope you will help her get the funds she needs to have this life saving treatment. The Clinic is Infusio and its in Frankfurt Germany so please help her, I don't want her gaining her angel wings as she is a kind person with a heart of gold who would do anything for anyone. So please kindly help her and lets get her over to Infusio asap. At Infusio, they have a Lyme Intensive Programme specifically designed to counter attack the effects of the damage caused by the illness and raise the immune system using IV Infusions and Stem Cells Treatment. A leading Lyme Specialist has described the illness as "the aids of our time" as it completely disables whatever immune system you have in the same way.  Borellia is thought to be the most complex bacteria known to man but unfortunately in the UK we do not have one Lyme Literate Doctor at all. Please don't give up on her, shes still here and she needs all our help. All she wants is the life back that she had before with her beloved son. The longer this is left, the more damage it will cause which could result in death so we all need to help her asap. Mr John Caudwell, Former Phones 4 U Billionaire and his family have also suffered with these illnesses and he is trying his best to get the NHS to listen and has even offered to put up a large sum of his own money for more research in this country that is severely undermining these diseases but alas this will take years, time which Sam doesn't have so please look into your hearts and help as this is urgent. Thank you for watching and listening.
