Support Kelly's Lyme Disease Treatment

Kelly was bit by a tick in 1985 in Eastern Washington. The doctor removed the tick but gave no further treatment. Through the years she had many unexplainable symptoms like GI issues, heart conditions, joint pain, headaches, fainting, and many more. Doctors always sent her home saying there was nothing wrong. After her second child was born in  2007, her symptoms got a lot worse and she landed in the hospital a couple times but still no answers. In the summer of 2009 she saw a doctor in Seattle who diagnosed her with Lyme disease and 3 co-infections. She was on many many high doses of oral antibiotics, anti-virals, anti-fungals, along with herbs and supplements. After 2 1/2 years of that treatment and seeing no improvement and continuing to get worse she had to stop working as a nanny. None of the treatments made any difference. After moving to Minnesota she saw another doctor and got on IV antibiotics and oral meds as well. Again no improvement was seen after 6 months. Later she also tried an all herbal anti-microbial protocol. It also didn't make a difference. Kelly spends most time in bed because of fatigue, muscle weakness, joint pain, nerve pain, gi issues, and cognitive troubles. 

She was afraid that nothing was going to help her. Then through the Lyme community she heard of a clinic called Sierra Integrative Medical Center in Reno, NV that has helped many people with Lyme get better with a combination of traditional and alternative treatments. She will have to travel from MN to NV for 6-8 weeks of treatment away from her family. 

We are raising money for her travel, lodging, treatment, meds/supplements, and transportation. Please support Kelly in her journey to health.
