Felecia's Fight with Lyme!

Donation protected
Her name is Felecia.  She has Lyme disease.  I am her Aunt and was not familiar with the disease.  I have been hearing, from my sister, of the general difficulties she's been experiencing throughout her battle with this.  I heard of all the different ways she has tried to get help from numerous doctors, multiple Neurologists, Rheumatologists, Naturopaths, health foods diet, and from what I gathered, none seem to help much.  Only temporary relief, and then back to the chronic pain, muscle spasms, brain fog, confusion, vertigo, can no longer skate, run, play volleyball with the kids, has much difficulty with stairs..  A LOT of ups and downs.  Some good days, a lot of hard days.  Then, I heard her symptoms were getting worse.  MUCH worse!!!  Within the last, week with the seizure-like convulsions, ambulance trips to Hospitals,  it has become alarmingly clear that something needs to be DONE!!!    Yet, the medical community has no answers for her.  No diagnosis!!  All the tests medical Doctors and specialists have done come back clear.. CLEAR!!  Which I find jaw-dropping!  OBVIOUSLY, something is VERY wrong with Felecia!!!

 With all the expenses incurred and the loss of income for the household, it has been suggested numerous times that a GofundMe account should be set up to seek help!   Whether treatments here or outside of Canada.  Now, at the end of her rope, she has finally consented and I went to see her to get her story firsthand.  From where it began, and the journey she has had to endure to the present,  I left shaking my head as to the wringer she's been through!  Just WOW!!

We all know that anything outside of the medical community is very costly. She has been paying her own way with all of it.  Some examples:  Numerous Naturopaths/Herbalists appointments each $250  just to see them.  The trip to B.C. alone, $1000.  Then there's the loads of natural products, antibiotics, tinctures. The tests sent to USA, over $600.  The loss of her job and her spouse's time off work with the many times he's needed at home.  Needless to say, the finances are not enough anymore,  this family is drowning financially.   
No chance to get financial help from Disability because you need a doctor's diagnosis on paper for that. 
Some options for treatments she is looking into .. . Bioresonance, Hyperbaric Chamber, o-zone, and Infrared Sauna treatments.  Ranging in price from at least $250-$500 each.  She needs MANY treatments as they're given in increments as the body can handle.

Can you help?  No amount is too small.  Hopefully with many people donating whatever they can, we can help get her life back!!

Her story...
I arrived to see a pale-faced, tired, limp young woman sitting on the sofa with pillows around her.. blanket over her lap.  I didn't need to ask her how she was doing.  I could tell it wasn't good.   It looked like she was dreading my interview, so to speak....
