Joseph's lyme treatment fundraiser
Donation protected
As a lot of you, I was diagnosed with Lyme disease and Babesia.
I've been seeing Dr's for the last 6 years and just recently, in March, my neurologist tested me for Lyme and I was positive. I later found out I'm positive for babesia as well which is a co-infection for Lyme.
My neurologist tested me becasue she didn't know why I have small distal peripheral neuropathy, now we know. The Lyme and Babesia was left untreated and unknown about for so long that it has found its way into my nervous system causing the neuropathy, as well as fatigue, muscle pain, joint pain, migraines, back pain, stomach pain and list goes on.
When we found out they immediately prescribed me to Doxycycline, malarone and Zithromax. None of which was covered by my insurance. And if you have insurance, and it don't cover the meds, they won't sell them to you either! I did end up getting the doxy and after a week of taking them, I ended up in ER. My body felt like it was shutting down, the chest pain felt like a heart attack, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep.
I lowered my dose and did about 2 1/2 weeks of the doxy before we started searching for better answers and better ways that is less stressful on my body.
Through our search, we found Dr. Rawson in Minnetonka who offers a treatment that consists of 6 weeks, 5 days a week of getting a IV of high doses of Vitamin C, ozone and glutathione.
Ive researched this method and it seems very effective. So effective, cancer patients are turning to this rather than chemo. So this is a tried and true treatment and I feel very comfortable with Dr. Rawson.
So, fast forward to now, I'm taking herbals such as protandum, teasel root, a cocktail by Dr. K specifically formatted for Lyme, silver, diatamaceous earth, vitamins, cbd for pain and I've tried others over the past few months.
Im making a go fund me for the people that can't make it to our benefit we are holding June 23rd or for anyone that wishes to help out.
I'm trying to get healthy asap so I can get back to tattooing full time and run my shop, Rockin Tattoos.
About the treatment from Dr. Rawson, as stated it's 6 weeks, everyday getting a IV. I'm gonna try and work through this but they already told me I'm gonna feel like death in the beginning when the medicine starts killing off the Lyme and Babesia. I've already missed over a month of work from the antibiotics and I might miss more.
the cost of treatment is almost $10k, none of which is covered by insurance. I'm setting our goal here to $2k as we are holding a benefit at the shop and we have high hopes in a good turn out and to raise quite a bit there.
if you care to learn more about myself, I'm gonna post links to a series of videos I made that explains a lot as well.
Thank you and God bless
