Holley's Lyme Treatment Expenses
Donation protected
Hey, y'all! As most of my friends and family members already know, I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease in December of 2016. After several rounds of treatments that didn't help, I am now working with a doctor I trust and have started on a course of treatment that I sincerely hope will return me to nearly full health.
Unfortunately, the combined costs of my treatment are extremely high. Although I am working full-time as a volunteer educator with Americorps, my health benefits are minimal, and I am struggling to pay for doctor's visits and the extensive drug, herb and body work therapies designed to kill Lyme spirochetes, reduce chronic pain and allow me to heal. Thus, I am reaching out to you, my community of loved ones, to ask for your support.
Whatever funds I raise here will be used for the following: doctor visits, intensive antibiotic therapy, bi-weekly blood work, acupuncture, herbal treatments and pain medications to last me until most of the bacteria are dead and my body can begin to recover on its own. Any contributions will mean a lot to me - and if you can't give money, messages of love and care are also invaluable.
The sooner I get well, the sooner I'll be able to get back to the business of living life to the fullest in THIS body, the only one I'm certain I'll have and the one in which I'm eager to return with vigor to the rivers and mountains I adore, to the care and attention of friendships I so miss, and to working more vigorously for justice in my community.
My monthly healthcare costs:
Doctor visit - $190
Prescription meds - $300
Blood work - $75
Acupuncture - $90
Massage - $95
Herbal medicines - $120
Pain medications - $75
