Help Desiree Access Critical Lyme Disease Treatment

Hello, my name is Desiree Trombla, and I’m reaching out with a humble and hopeful heart to ask for your support in a deeply personal battle. I’ve been experiencing symptoms of Lyme Disease for the past five months after being bitten by a tick on my neck this past January. Since that moment, my life has completely changed — and not a single day has passed without pain, discomfort, and a growing sense of isolation due to the stress of this illness.

I initially underwent a two-week course of antibiotics, but my symptoms persisted. Blood tests have since confirmed abnormalities consistent with Lyme, and I now experience a wide and debilitating range of symptoms that impact every part of my daily life:

* Migrating body and joint pain

* Arthritic pain in my hands, arms, and legs

* Fevers and chills

* Brain fog and severe exhaustion

* Jaw tightness, neck stiffness, and headaches

* Burning red hot skin, dizziness, nausea, and flu-like symptoms regularly

Some days are better than others, but every time I try to resume a normal life, I’m knocked back down — often bedridden and drained physically, mentally and emotionally. I’ve done everything in my power to heal naturally: strict nutrition, herbal supplements, detoxification protocols like infrared saunas and red light therapy. But the truth is, this is a battle I cannot fight alone anymore.

Lyme Disease is notoriously underdiagnosed and under-treated, especially after initial antibiotic use. Many people don’t realize that if left untreated or improperly treated, Lyme can become chronic, leading to even more serious health complications:

* Cognitive impairment and significant memory loss

* Neurological issues like meningitis and Bell’s palsy

* Serious heart problems, severe arthritis, even some cancers

Additionally, Lyme is often accompanied by co-infections such as Bartonella, Babesia, Anaplasmosis, and Ehrlichia, which make treatment even more complicated. These conditions require specialized testing and care from medical professionals who truly understand the complexities of tick-borne illnesses.

I’ve been recommended a specialized Lyme Disease clinic in San Francisco, where a Lyme-literate doctor can offer targeted testing, diagnosis, and treatment — including pharmaceuticals, IV therapies, ozone treatments, and cutting-edge alternative therapies that have helped many others make a full recovery. These doctors offer hope, but the reality is, they are not covered by insurance companies, and the costs are overwhelming.

That’s why I’m asking for help.

With your donation, I will be able to:

* Receive care from a Lyme Disease specialist

* Undergo lab testing for Lyme and co-infections

* Access needed therapies and medications

* Give myself a fighting chance at full recovery before it becomes chronic and harder to treat

Even the smallest donation helps. I know that times are hard for many people, and I would never ask anyone to give more than they comfortably can. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing my story with others — spreading awareness and hope means the world to me.

Asking for help like this isn’t easy, but I’m learning that healing isn’t just physical — it’s about leaning on community, asking for support when you need it, and allowing others to walk with you on the road to recovery.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, sharing, donating, or simply sending love and support. Your kindness means more than words can express.

With deep gratitude,

Desiree Trombla
