Support Tazana #LYMEALERT
Donation protected
Hi my name is Rosie and the story im about to tell you has inspired me to ask my friends, who otherwise would buy me a 30th Birthday gift to donate to this online campaign to help a girlfriend of mine. She doesn't like discuss with others the negatives of whats happening in her life. It took a while for two of us to put this together but please read, donate and pass on to raise awareness of what is happening to many Australians.
Tazana and her husband Trent had the world at their feet. They were together for several years before they were married, travelled and then decided to pack up their life from Northern Beaches Sydney and move to Northern NSW, buy a house, a beautiful puppy and to start a new life together as husband and wife, with the prospect of starting a family of their own.
Fairytale right......
********NEWS FLASH*******
On their way down the coast on a camping trip in October 2015 Tazana found one morning that a tick had embedded in the back of her head. They removed it and didn't think much of it, despite her head being painful to touch where the tick was and having a slight groggy feeling they were not overly concerned.
Fatigue and a sense of general unwellness overwhelmed her for the next few months, along with a few other incidents that occured before the new year that had them questioning what was going on. Thats when things started to really amp up.
2016 started with Tazana having "no zest for life" where she was so overhwelmed with the sense of no reason for being, she would say to her husband "I want to be dead" and was disappointed that she woke up everyday. This was gradually followed by others symptoms like nausea, dizziness, hot flushes, chronic fatigue, insomnia, asthma, muscle weakness, joint pain, carpel tunnel, headahces, brain fog, high anxiety and panic attacks, tingling and digestive problems and that is just to name a few symptoms.
It was in March 2016 that she went to a naturopath and discovered that her NKCD57 (a collection of natural killer cells) in her blood were extremley low. The below healthy range of these cells are strong indicators for 'lyme' or a 'lyme like' illness. She was told that the prospect of starting a family soon, if at all, had diminished as the the bacteria is transferable via the placenta and breastmilk to a baby.
Wanting more information she found a Dr in Brisbane that sent her bloods overseas to a German Lab where she unfortunately tested positive to Borrellia Burgdorferi (lyme disease) and Anaplasma (co infection of lymes).
She has now adopted a treatment plan of herbal medicine protocol with IV Ozone therapy, IV infusions, supplements and EXTREME clean eating. She is now aiming to relieve her symptoms as much as possible by following this approach as approved by her Doctors.
She has had to scale back her mobile hairdressing business and passion for photography as she physically and mentally cannot cope with the toll the infection is having on her.
She now has no social life except for contact with "other lymes people" she has found via social media and when she does see "normal" people, she calls on all her strength to "perform" like a everyday functional person. She does have good and bad days and her parents have been supporting her by doing day to day chores as well as finacially, but sadly those funds have already been exhausted.
She relys on her husband's income and what little savings they have to continue with the treatments. All treatment is as full cost with no government support as lymes is not recognised as being within Australia.
She is aware also that there is also a popular treatment in Germany at the Lymes and Cancer Institution which can cost between 30K to 65K, but there is no guarantee on results.
Her predicament is emotionally draining on both her and Trent, the thought of a incurable disease, the prospect of no future family and the day to day deteriation of her body combined is a enormous burden.
The funds we raise are to contribute to the ongoing medical bills that Tazana needs to help her with her day to day duties and help her look at alternate and better treatments. We also seekt to increase the awareness of Lymes disease within Australia.
This would mean so much to me to know that she and her husband will have a little financial support and to some what degree, relieve them of the financial pressures.
Our goals is to help her focus on her recovery to stay positive so that she can smash this invisible illness.
Your small donation (as little as $10) will go far but of equal importance is for you to forward this post to as many people as possible.
And hence the purpose of establishing this campaign is to enable Tazana's friends, and friends and associates of those friends to raise money to assist Tazana in her fight to good health
