Lyme disease treatment in Germany

Donation protected




    Hi, my name is Judy Mitchell (Rowe) of Botwood,NL.   My husband, Ransey and I  have 3 children &. 6 grandchildren.    Our first born   Ryan   35 years old has Lyme  Disease ..... !!!!  
     His life in general has been a battle but the pieces are finally coming together.......... Cause  Thats   Lyme Disease......if not caught early,    showing a bulls eye rash and treated with antibiotics,     you will probally spend yrs trying to figure out what's destroying your health eventually being diagnosed with hypercooreact.      That's whats happened with our son.
     We have reason to believe he may have contacted Lyme in 2003 while working in thick forest in Alberta & BC,   doing seismic work at the tender age of 21.
     After spending 10yrs trying to work .....feeling sick most of the time,    It was a normal occurance for Ryan to stop on his way to  or from  work for antibiotics to help him through another round  of work...... Always had sinus problems, lots of facial pain.   He's had 18 root canals.
     His body finally crashed 3yrs ago.  He was then forced to return home to his parents here in NL.  Leaving behind his 4 precious boys.....  At the time they were just so small.  Ryder 6yrs old, Darian 3yrs old and a set of twins Prezley& Jagger 2yrs old.  
    Since then, we have been trying to understand what is making our son so ill ...as a mom, he had so much to get well for.   He also has a precious daughter Chloe here in NL that needs her dad.    It's been a brutal battle. 
   August 2016 our son ask that we send him to Calgary. He searched his symptoms on the Internet and said ...Mom, I think I have Lyme Disease and I need to go see Dr Risk,      A Lyme Specialist. 
    Sept 2016 he finally got the diagnosed, it was indeed Lyme.   Dr Risk said Ryan .....now you can cry........ Ryan said .....There are no more Tears. ....!!!!       She said everyone that she has diagnosed broke down. !!!   Ryan was so relieved to finally have answers.   He said Mom I got what I came for....... !!!!!   must have been such a relief...... I could feel it in his voice........He is not going Crazy....in his mind after all...!!!!  
    Almost a yr has gone by, his body isn't  handling the treatment well,      so we are feeling the urgency to try our best options to save our son.      We are accepted into the St George Klinik Germany.       A   Lyme & Cancer centre.   
   Ryan has not worked in 3yrs, have no financial means to help with this enormous expense. We are forced to reach out.   
    
   This is how Ryan has summed it up........ 
        Last 4yrs chronic chest pain & sinus Infection  tooth pain   jaw pain   headache   major pain out my spine, ear aches.  Numb all over my body.  legs & arms  face mostly!
I feel like I have a prostate Infection, bladder Infection, bowl Infection. chills, sweats, short term memory  Out the window!  It takes everything I have to stay awake all day and function.
   I'm 34 years old   always worked hard and now I'm useless. Can't work  hardly can move.  muscle pain 24/7. 
4 years of bowl cramping    Heart burn, twitching, shaking      something is wrong.  Someone has to take me serious and not brush me off     I'm an honest person who's sick and trying to get well!
  I Have 5 beautiful children that I haven't seen in over an year because I'm to unwell to go see um. They need their dad and I need them!   please Have a close look at me 
something is wrong in my body and I'm not getting better!
