Hi guys! This might be long so bear with me. If you don't want to read the whole thing, I have Lyme disease and I'm trying to fundraise to pay some medical bills so I can beat this thing and move on with my life. If you tip more than 100tk, you will get a 54-photo professionally shot erotic photoset. Other perks listed at the bottom :) As some of you know, I was diagnosed with chronic late stage Lyme disease. Many people who are diagnosed with Lyme disease catch it early and are able to be treated with a few weeks of antibiotics and never have symptoms again. This was not the case for me. I have been having symptoms for about 2 years gradually getting worse. In 2018 I saw 5 doctors who had no idea what was wrong with me. By this point I had retired from my career as a massage therapist, couldn't drive and spent my days alone in my apartment. I listened to my gut and I knew that something was wrong with my body. I continued to rest in hopes that whatever was ailing me would heal itself. In May 2018 I needed a way to pay my bills with a flexible schedule and something I could do from the comfort of my home. I had always been a fan of the cam community so I worked up the courage and gave it a shot. I fell in love with MFC and everyone that I met. Being sick I felt so disconnected from the world but getting on cam and hanging out with my friends made me feel like I was a part of something. Unfortunately, my condition worsened. I wasn't able to be as consistent on cam and by Fall 2018 I could barely cam for 2 hours without being absolutely drained. Due to financial strain I had to give up my apartment and move in with a friend. A friend I made on MFC told me I should get tested for Lyme disease. I asked my Infectious Diseases specialist for the blood test and he scoffed and said there is not Lyme disease in Florida. He said I was probably just depressed. I left his office in tears and still zero answers. In December 2018, a friend recommended a doctor to me. I came in for my consultation and the second I met my doctor I was in disbelief. Finally someone was taking me seriously and listening to me. They took my blood that day and said they'd call me in a few weeks with the results. In January 2019 they gave me a call and stated I need to come in as soon as possible. The next day my doctor told me I had tested positive for Lyme disease and Bartonella. I thought to myself YAY I'll just take some antibiotics and be good to go. Wrong. I had a long road ahead and no idea what I was about to go through. Late stage Lyme disease is incredibly complicated to treat. They explained to me I'd likely be on antibiotics for at least a year. The treatment is brutal. They told me it would get worse before better but I had no clue. When you treat Lyme disease, you have a "herx" reaction. It's from all the dead bacteria, which becomes toxic and sends your body into a panic. Fever, shaking, panic attacks, heart palpitations. I called my family on a regular basis because I told them I didn't think I would make it. I thought I was dying and I had completely accepted it. I describe it as your soul being ripped from your body or maybe an exorcism (lol). Some of the general symptoms I deal with on a daily basis include: extreme fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, joint pain, nausea, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, brain fog, derealiziation, fevers, blurred vision, difficulty remembering, difficulty walking, seizures, insomnia, temporary loss of use of my hands. April 2019, I just finished month 3. I feel about the same. I'm about to add a second antibiotic which will probably cause double the herx. I am barely able to cam, I still can't drive, and I can barely leave the house. My medical bills are piling up. I am behind on all of my bills. I was told I have no chance of qualifying for disability because am too young. I am battling this alone and it seems impossible. I don't expect anyone to contribute to this but some of my cam friends asked for a way to help :) I am trying to get a phone consult with a doctor in Maryland who specializes in my condition and is considered the best in the country. The cost to be treated by him is $2750. Even if I can't see him, I still have to pay for my current doctor, bloodwork, medication, supplements, bills, food etc. SO!
