About me:
Hello, I am Jenny Gold and I desperately need your help! I have a devastating case of Late Chronic Neurologic Lyme Disease from a tick-bite while on spring break in Mexico when I was 19. Good times then… Bad times now... I need to raise $97,000 of which I need to start my PT as soon as possible only to be followed immediately with the additional treatment in California with my Lyme doctor and an invasive treatment in Scottsdale, AZ, which is incredibly expensive. This disease is exhausting and again, financially draining.
**Lyme doctors do not take insurance** so needless to say the costs are exorbitant.
Treatment and how the funds will be used:
Physical Therapy Treatments $20,000
Neuromuscular Re-education
Craniosacral Therapy
Ayurveda healing to improve immune system
Neurological functioning
Reduce pathogens and viruses in the body
Increase vitality, balance, stamina and strength in gross and fine motor activities
Lyme Doctor $9,455
First appointment
Four follow-up appointments in California
10 phone consultations
Homeopathic and pharmaceutical drugs
Eight airline tickets
Hotel
Meals
Ground transportation
Stem Cell Regenerative Medicine $43,800
Treatment will need to be redone possibly in 1-2 years
3days/2nights included
Transport to the hotel and facility included
Anipose Stem Cell Treatment (Fat and venous)
Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Treatment
Supplements
Hotel
Flights for two
Meals- Breakfast is included. Lunch/Dinner is on the client
My Story...
I would like everyone to know I have lived a very active and fulfilling life. I am very grateful for all my family and friends who have been there for me when I needed their emotional and financial help. Many of you who have known me over the last few years have watched me steadily decline, though I have tried to stay upbeat and positive. In fact, I cannot even find a picture that really defines the scope of how bad I am because of my fighting attitude.
I am sick, broke, and as much as I do not want to admit it, I am finally desperate. To this point, I cannot express my gratitude enough to my parents who have spent $100’s of thousands of dollars to try and help me regain my health. My father passed in 2016 and my mother is in an assisted living facility with no ability to further finance my medical costs because of her own medical needs. I can no longer travel on my own and will need someone to go with me. The hardest part for me is to admit that I’m physically failing. People who know me say I am constantly upbeat, personable, a connector and always positive so when they actually saw my plea they had no idea how truly sick I am.
To begin my Lyme story, I may have been bitten by a tick in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan during a camping trip in the spring of 1987. A blistery type rash above my left breast was treated with topical antibiotics and steroid creams. This didn’t clear-up for years. I started getting more sore throats and was constantly tired.
The new doctor then had me involved in a series of MRI’s, spinal taps, EMG's, and lots of bloodwork.
Lyme disease is "The Great Imitator"! It has been misdiagnosed as MS and neurologists in Colorado do not believe in Lyme disease or do not want to get caught up in the licencing and insurance drama.
Throughout the next couple of years some of the issues seemed to be in remission. Physical therapy has always helped to get me back on my feet for short periods of time.
Now in my 40's and living back in Colorado, I have reached a very debilitating stage. I was required to have hand controls installed in my car so I could continue to work. I have to use a walker constantly to get around even in my house now. The tasks you do every day are a huge challenge for me. I have not been able to do dishes, laundry, clean my home, prepare food, go to the grocery store and now, truly wondering if I should keep my cat. I have been home-bound most of the last two months and I am not getting better. I have seen some of the leading Lyme doctors/researchers around the US and received treatment for years. Lots of oral and IV antibiotics, homeopathic drugs, experimental IV's in Colorado from doctors who do not practice Lyme but were trying to treat the five other autoimmune diseases I now have. Cannabis does help with some other issues, but it is not enough.
So as it currently stands, September 2018, I now have five auto-immune diseases, Lyme disease and two co-infections of Lyme.
It is of the upmost importance, that I start new protocols immediately. I need to see my Lyme doctor in California and stem-cell therapy also. I have done extensive research while running my company, working part-time for another, and consulting for two others. I am very tired and receiving in-home physical and occupational therapy now. Many have not seen me at events because my doctors have advised me to keep a lower profile. Even with the hand controls in my car, I am really not able to get out that much.
For those who know me, nothing could be more humbling than having to ask for assistance. I have always been the one who is the helper, the giver and the up-lifter. Over the last 30 years, most of the people who are familiar with me both in California and Colorado have always seen me with a smile on my face and would never guess how ill I am. I never thought I would say this but “I am tired, frail and worn-out”. Lyme disease and co-infections are winning. I also have come to realize in the course of writing this humbling plea that I have been in denial for a long time on how sick I truly am.
Unfortunately, my plea is necessary. I have done extensive research on what I need to do next and I know people mean well with suggestions, but at this stage it is imperative that I return to the Lyme Specialist in California who has continued to advance the study of Lyme disease as a whole. Again, the unfortunate situation is that Lyme disease still is not covered by any insurance so all related charges are still out of pocket.
