Help me get my life back – Fundraising for Lyme disease treatment

Dear Reader!

My name is Vivien, I am 29 years old, and for years I have been battling a chronic, insidious illness: chronic Lyme disease and its co-infections, including Bartonella. This illness has completely turned my life upside down – physically, mentally and emotionally alike.

This illness affects my entire body. It causes neurological, cognitive, hormonal and digestive symptoms: chronic fatigue, muscle and nerve pain, weakness, tingling and numbness in my limbs, concentration problems, anxiety, periods of depression, hypersensitivity, food intolerances and food allergies, as well as countless other symptoms that leave me physically and mentally exhausted.

I had originally planned to continue my treatment at a Lyme disease specialist clinic in Slovakia (BCB Clinic), but after careful consideration and taking my financial situation into account, I finally decided to continue my treatment in Hungary. My treatment is expected to be quite long-term – it could last 1, 2 or even 3 years. I am currently raising funds for this. The funds raised will cover the necessary medical consultations, laboratory tests, antibiotic treatment, probiotics and mental health support. Unfortunately, I cannot cover these costs on my own, which is why I am asking for your help.

I never thought I’d be writing something like this, as I’ve always tried to sort everything out on my own, but I’ve reached the point where I simply have to ask for help to continue my recovery, as I have no other option. Even a small contribution – the price of a cup of coffee, for instance – can go a long way towards bringing me closer to recovery.

The donation will therefore be used for the following:

-Medical consultations and laboratory tests

-Antibiotic therapy and complementary treatments

- Probiotics and psychological support

I want to live again. To get my body, my mind, my soul back. My life. I want to experience again the simple things that others take for granted and that used to be natural to me too: to laugh sincerely, to love, to move, to travel, and to be fully present in my own life and body without pain. If you are unable to donate, you can still help a great deal by sharing my post – because every share counts and brings me closer to recovery.

I write in detail about my illness, the difficulties I face and the steps I’m taking towards recovery on my bilingual blog, so that as many people as possible can gain an insight into this difficult but real struggle:

I don’t know exactly how long I’ll need treatment for, or how much it will improve my condition, but in any case I’m determined and will do everything I can to get my life back, step by step. Thank you in advance for all your support, whether it’s a donation or a share.

Thank you for reading,

Vivien
