Misdiagnosed for 15 years
I was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2013 but I was bitten by a tick in 2009 when all of my symptoms started to happen. First sign was a rash that looked like little target symbols which is well known for lymes disease. After the rash came fatigue, pain, loss of balance, coordination, constipation, urinary issues, Ed difficulties, numbness, tingling then I went from walking to using a walker to wheelchair and now a mobile chair. So when I was diagnosed in 2013 with multiple sclerosis my primary doctor had me get a MRI done and I ended up having lesions on my brain and spine. Fast foward a few years ago I watch a documentary called under our skin and they said more than 450,000 people are misdiagnosed with Parkinsons or MS but really have Lyme's disease so I started doing research. I noticed I lost all of my body hair which is not MS related but lymes sis related and 12 years after my first MRI I didn't have one single new lesion but I'm steady getting worse by the day, so I go back to 2009 when everything occurred after being bit by a tick and it's just all starting to add up and make sense. Now in order for me to see an infectious disease specialist i would have to pay out of pocket because of course insurance won't cover it and why would they when big pharma and some doctors don't want to see a patient get better cause they look at us as $ symbols and now I'm not saying all but some. Also insurance won't cover for the medications or supplements or neither the physical therapy. I would have to get all types of lab work even stool samples and a thermography done and it's definitely not cheap and I can't afford anything living off of SSI. That alone covers the cost for my apartment and utility bills and when that's all paid for every month all I have left is $50 and that goes to my phone bill, luckily I receive food stamps to put food on my table. Also I'm only 41 years old with 5 beautiful daughter's and I want nothing more than to watch them grow into young ladies and would love to have a chance to walk them down the aisle and hand them over to their future husband, what I would give for that moment. But if I don't get the medical attention I need soon then I don't think I'll be around much longer due to I'm getting worse by the day and I'm tired of suffering. But I come to you humiliated and embarrassed, but also come to you as a father, someone's son and a loving husband. So please if you could even spare a dollar then I would be more than grateful and even if you can't send any money but can read my story and spread awareness because I can't be the only person that's misdiagnosed and this story can possibly save another person's life. But I want to say thank you to all that donates, shares, reads and supports this and God bless you and take care
SINCERELY, .
