Please help Christine Mahler

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!

My friend, Christine Mahler, is in desperate need of help. Christine is 55 years old and has suffered unmercifully for the last 28 years due to medical ignorance. At 26, Christine was in the prime of her life working for 5 years (since graduating from college) in a job she loved in Human Resources for a Health Care Agency and engaged to be married when she was overcome by a mysterious illness.
My Dr. stated it was the flu 3 different times. After not getting better & months of visits to a long list of doctors and no diagnosis, they decided it must all be "in her head". After seven years of indescribable suffering, she was finally diagnosed with Chronic Late-Stage Lyme Disease, along with Fibromyalgia, HHV6B virus, Epstein Barr virus, Co infections (Brucella & Babesiosis), Heavy metals (Mercury & Lead), Potts, Mycoplasma Pneumoniae that, by then, had ravaged her body, leaving her in horrific pain & unable to function.
My once outgoing, vivacious & athletic friend suddenly became house bound, bedridden, barely able to get to the bathroom, take a shower, or go to the kitchen for meals.
Some of her constant daily symptoms are brain encephalitis, burning throughout her whole body coming from her spine, swelling of arms, legs, & spine severe migraines, skin itching, red inflamed hands & feet, severe heat intolerance above 65 degrees, a heaviness that pulls her down & makes her immobile, stinging joint-pain, heaviness in arms making her unable to lift them, severe flu-like symptoms, extreme fatigue, sore throat, cardiac issues, nausea, stomach bloating, muscles squeezing, nerves burning, electrical currents throughout the body, blood infection & much more.
To make matters worse, Christine has little financial support & is left alone most of the time, unable to perform simple chores like eating & bathing etc.
In need of a well-known Lyme expert who can see Christine, but she will need tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket. These funds are not remotely available to her after 28 years of debilitation & inability to work. Without this life-saving treatment, Christine's disease will continue to progress & she will be forced to keep on living in this private hell until she dies. Consider helping her & others like her who are suffering so much. Thank you so much.
