Help Jovan Fight Lyme Disease
Donativo protegido
Hello, i've created this page for my boyfriend Jovan who's been battling Chronic Neurological Lyme Disease for some time now. He quickly discovered how tough this journey would be, after he was continuously mocked or dismissed by doctors at the idea that he might have Lyme Disease; since it's not recognized by doctors within the area he lives. It's not easy watching a loved one struggle to find relief and answers from a Disease that's so difficult to diagnose and treat, but I see how strong he's been and I continue to be amazed by his fight to get better. Jovan's seen several doctors, had extensive blood work performed, purchased several supplements and medications and unfortunately has payed for all of this out of pocket, as Lyme Disease is something not recognized by insurance companies.
Since 2007, when he was bitten by a tick during a hiking trip in Ojai CA, he's had a multitude of problems. His back pain went from minor to chronic, which is a symptom of Lyme. Jovan has lost over 25 pounds and continues to struggle to put the weight on. He often needs to sleep with an ice pack over his head to stop the throbbing migranes he gets daily. Chronic fatigue and numbness in his arms, vision problems, severe abdominal pain and inflammation, brain swelling, uncomfortable and constant ringing of the ears, have now become part of everyday life for him, he went from being outgoing and vibrant to depressed and feeling hopeless.
After many countless attempts to find help, we've found a Treatment Center in Nevada area that has a high success rate with Lyme Disease patients. He has an upcoming appointment and we hope he responds well. Unfortunately this treatment is extremely costly and he's already depleted his bank savings. If you have anything to give or contribute to my best friends recovery, we would really appreciate your kindness and generosity at this time. Any donation small or large will help Jovan on his road to recovery, and back to the vibrant and healthy person he once was years ago.
I ask that you please keep Jovan in your thoughts and prayers. He is an amazing person that I love incredibly, and I know he can beat this disease with the right kind of help and support. Thank you for taking the time to read about Jovan's journey and God Bless.
With warmest thanks,
Laura
