Juli's Lyme Disease treatments
Donation protected
Since there is a small chance we will be able to get Ellen to help Juli. We wanted to put together a go fund me.
Sept 2013 Juli was injuried at Lake Powell. After the injury would not heal and more symptoms came up. Juli spent the next year searching for help and answers. Juli was seen by 30 medical professionals, over half were not covered by insurance. Every doctor had a different diagnosis, none of which helped. Janurary 2015 Juli made one last attempt to figure out what was wrong. She was seen by a naturopathic doctor who finally figured out the cause. Juli has stage 3 Lyme Disease she has 115 symptoms, here are just a few of them:
severe headaches , arthritis of one or more large joints, disturbances in heart rhythm, brain disorders (encephalopathy) involving memory, mood and sleep, short term memory loss, difficulty concentrating
mental fogginess, problems following conversations, numbness in the arm and legs.
Juli has started treatment that is not easy and not covered by insurance.
In addition to medical consultations, Juli must pay for supportive IV treatment, injections, supplements. On average, she pays $2000/month in medical expenses in addition to her families daily living costs.
Juli and Adam has completely depleted their savings and have been putting her medical expenses on credit for the last year and a half. Luckily Adam has been able to maintain his full time job, without taking time off. While still being able to be with Juli for treatments.
It is a fighting every day for Juli as she still tries to be a wife and mother. Juli had to quit her job, she isn't able to be left alone with their active 3 year old.
I ask for your help in helping Juli pay for treatment. Any amount you can donate will help. Thank you so much for your generosity.
