Medical Treatment For Breanna

Hello everyone! My name is Breanna and I'm a 24 year old, engaged, dedicated mother of two beautiful children; I also have Chronic Lymes Disease. I'm so used to providing for the people in my life that when the situation is reversed I'm left feeling ambivalent about asking for help, but I am in dire need..


In 2011 I was bitten and contracted Lyme Disease - in just two years my CLD (Chronic Lyme Disease) has progressed to the point where it inhibits, impedes and is an incredible inconvenience in my day to day life. I suffer from a slew of post-lyme neurological conditions, some comparable to that of people with MS or Alzheimers Disease: I have dizziness, brain fog, blurred vision, memory loss, lightheadedness, varying heart palpitations, low blood pressure, GI issues, severe depression, panic attacks, psychosis, emotional instability and depersonalization.. Occasionally I'm hit with extreme muscle lethargy where my body feels completely run down, I'm unable to function and I can barely keep my own head up let alone be physically active with my family during these times!


Unfortunately CLD is not well recognized by either the WHO or the CDC, in fact it's largely ignored by both groups; Offering little to no support for the countless people inflicted, despite the severity of the condition in its late stages. With absolutely no support we're left to fund the treatment of this condition out of our own pocket as no insurance agency will assist us, but it's not easy..


That's why I made this page, I want to get better; I - need - to get better, for not only myself but for my children, for my family. They shouldn't have to be burdened by my medical condition, they deserve a mother in good health.. They are everything to me, the muse which keeps me moving forward despite the chronic pain and debilitating side effects. I count the good days this unpredictable disease leaves me as a blessing in which I can do things with them them I'd normally be unable..


Societal roles expect me to be a supportive mother, a crucial pillar in the lives of my family, the very fact I struggle with this great difficulty leaves me incredibly embarrassed, especially when I need to ask for help. It seems like such a silly notion but I wanted to be the one to help others, I was studying to become a registered nurse! My pride is wounded and it really takes a great deal for me to ask for help like this.


I wholeheartedly appreciate anyone who takes the time to read about my blight and I'm eternally grateful for those who take sympathy and show enormous generosity and compassion - by either sharing this or donating.


Please share this page with family and friends; This condition needs more attention, more funding and the families who suffer at its hands need your support! Only together can there be a significant difference made in the lives of the people inflicted with this disease.
