Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2015 12:12 pm
So... to make a long story short, I NEVER ask for anything, I'll make it quick and painless as I push through my pride to ask this of you all... as well as the tears... My sister in law was diagnosed with Advanced Stages of Lyme's Disease and it has advanced through her brain, heart, skin tissue, and body in general... She needs all the help she can get and we're not sure where else to turn. She recently left her job to go back to college for her medical career and got REALLY sick. This is when she was submitted to the hospital for 9 days in which they could not find out what was wrong with her. They tested her for EVERYTHING. They found nothing and sent her home. After going to Miami, FL, they tested several vials of her blood and found out that 1 of the 6th contained Lyme Disease..
Below is her GofundMe Page that has all the info and news about how she is going and if only 1 person were to read it... it would mean a lot to us. Even if all you can do is share, it would help.
Her name is Kelly

Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks. Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Lyme disease is diagnosed based on symptoms, physical findings (e.g., rash), and the possibility of exposure to infected ticks. Laboratory testing is helpful if used correctly and performed with validated methods. Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with a few weeks of antibiotics. Steps to prevent Lyme disease include using insect repellent, removing ticks promptly, applying pesticides, and reducing tick habitat. The ticks that transmit Lyme disease can occasionally transmit other tickborne diseases as well.
