A Wish for my family to be functional & WELL!
My Mother, my sister, and I, have chronic Borreliosis (lyme) and multiple co-infections. We acquired our infections in different places (even different continents), at different times, and likely from different vectors.
I wish for my Mom-the love & glue of our family-to get her memory, energy, and 'self' back before it becomes too late. We now know that dementia, and specifically the threat of Alzheimer's, is very real.
For my mom to receive more in depth treatment, I have to finish mine. Financially this has taken a toll on my mother, but she is dedicated to seeing me through these tough times, even if this is what is needed (asking for help).
The ultimate goal is remission. Then I can help her through treatment. If I maintain remission, hopefully I can get some of my independence back, possibly re-join the world of the working, and have some *life* back!
I also wish for my sister. She is unable to take many antibiotics, and really needs to see an LLMD who can work with alternatives, but has no money for this type of care. I have some Doctors in mind who I think she could work well with to get the infections under control, then meet her goals.
My family has been through medical mysteries/rare diseases, and disease very severe and traumatizing at critical ages. We had already been through hell and back prior to Lyme & co-infections, and we fight the best we can.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
We have a GoFundMe campaign that has already helped pay for medical costs. We have a long way to go, but every bit counts!
