Wellness & Healing for Infinity

"My biggest dream is to have dinner with my children sitting at the table again.
It is to go for a walk in the forest, being able to stay outdoors until dusk.
To run into the Sea, diving into salty waves, watching a sunset, unrushed.
To be able to get back to playing music and enjoying life,
Regaining my Body, Breathing Ease and Freedom again
FREE FROM CHRONIC PAIN"
Hello. My name is Marta. Some of you may know me as a Voice and a Creator of uplifting music on the YouTube Channel "Infinity Calling" featuring cinematic voice meditations (aka High Octave Energy Tones through the Frequency of Flow).
The Channel was born from my deeply personal healing journey as I have been coping with constant debilitating pain in my lower back, along with mobility issues and severe migraines for more than 10 years. Singing has become my Transcendental Meditation, my therapy, my Sacred Healing Space, my Respite, my Inner Temple, my Space to feel Peace, Beauty and Infinite Freedom, my Tracks to Self. Pain has become a powerful catalytic force, one I respect, acknowledge and have been trying to understand and expand through, learning about various healing modalities and alternative therapies, transforming myself and my Awareness in the process.
At Present
Over the past couple of years the suffering has increased exponentially, with no access to the right comprehensive specialist care or effective treatment plan. I'm diagnosed with chronic pain / fibromyalgia, polyneuropathy, CFS & anemia. The latest labs from ArminLabs in Germany (July 2022) confirm lyme co-infection — bartonella henslae & chlamydia pneumnoniae and severe immune system suppression (CD57/NK cells at a critically low level; very typical for lyme disease patients), which could be the root cause of all the suffering.
- The condition is very complex and it's a whole body systemic disability, affecting neurotransmitting (nervous system), muscle & organ function, brain performance and immune system (that is both: underactive & overactive).
Passing out from pain on the floor, vomiting, going into neurological shut downs, losing many of the usual daily functions many people take for granted (such as walking, sitting, standing) has become my daily reality. I now find it difficult to cook, drive or do grocery shopping, functions necessary to look after myself and my two children.
Constant muscle twitching, tingling and buzzing, stabbing and shooting migratory pains throughout my body, electric/stinging shocks feel like I’m being electrocuted on a daily basis. Also, phantom pain in my jaw, eye twitching, fingers or toes going numb or changing colour to white on and off, brain fog, insomnia, severe CFS, more shallow breathing, vertigo at night, feels like my whole central nervous system is on fire.
I flare up whenever I sit, or stand upright, or walk. It’s about 30/40 minutes before the pain becomes unbearable and I need to lie down again. Thus, I am mostly housebound, unable to leave my house much, mostly lying on the floor wrenched with excruciating pain levels, fit for small jobs around the house only. I cook, clean and perform all my duties despite the challenging conditions, often in silence and tears, suppressing my emotions. Since I am unable to sit much, I’m also unable to use a wheelchair, and so I have difficulty with transportation and other activities of daily living. I am unfit for work, and currently on Disability Assistance.
The latest symptoms also include cognitive decline & speech issues - my brain strains too much when processing and operating language in real time. If I speak, I'm paying a very high price - I flare up aggressively, getting reduced to a vegetable. Thus, I'm unable to talk. I'm living my life like it's a silent movie: no more calls to my mum, my sister or friends. I'm turning mute and it's harder than losing my mobility and living with debilitating pain daily.
Dr Lambert, Infectious Disease Doctor, has been treating me with oral antibiotics since September last year (2022). So far, no breakthrough.
He believes my symptoms are due to brain inflammation, which is a result of being left untreated and dismissed for more than 11 years. He doesn't rule out lyme bacteria itself, as late-stage lyme can be very hard to detect.
I am a single mum of two, aged 42. My marriage did not survive the test of my deteriorating health condition. I have no family here. The father is not providing any support for the children and he's been out of country for 5 years.
Singing and creating Visual Art gave me strength and relief, but now it is impossible.
I feel completely helpless and exhausted beyond words. Sometimes I'm just a breath, Awareness in motion, trapped in my Body. Time ceases to exist and I feel I am stuck, living somewhere beyond time, living a surreal, dreamlike reality, with no future ahead. It is traumatic, unpredictable and stressful. I'm nowhere near stability or knowing where I'm at, or what I am dealing with. Traumatized, isolated, house-bound and bedridden, I'm fading away.
The only hope is to access treatment abroad, and go to a specialist clinic in Germany, which would offer comprehensive, integrative care and IV (intravenous) treatments for lyme which aren't available in Ireland.
These however are very costly and are private only. They would include:
IV antibiotics
IV vitamin infusions
ICU (hyperthermia procedures)
medications
herbals
further testing
blood diagnostics
complimentary therapies
IVIG (intravenous immunoglobulin)
SOT therapy (Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy)
flights & transfers
My biggest dream is to be healthy again.
To be fully functional to be able to play with my kids and take them places.
To be free again.
To get my life back.
To go back to work and go back to doing what I love.
It is my hope that this GoFundMe will enable my friends near and far to offer financial support to cover the costs of quality healthcare and help me push through this debilitating time, getting back into a greater natural flow of life again, and allowing me to continue creating music.
I have Faith and Hope that things can improve.
Any help you can provide today will go a very long way. Please take some time to tune into my work on YouTube and allow my voice to inspire and lift your Soul as you lift my Spirits by donating today.
I commit to bringing updates to everyone as I move through tests and treatments.
Thank you so much for contributing to my Health and Wellness.
Much Love,
Marta Lukaszewicz

Blog (Chronic Pain)
********************
PAST - in greater detail (for those who are curious and interested to know the whole story)
The condition has been progressing and aggravating for years; it began with fits of back pain that became chronic. Different tests have been done in Ireland, all inconclusive. Compression on the nerve root and annular tear & bulging disc L5/S1 showed up on the scans, which was wasn’t acted upon surgically. When I briefly went abroad a few years ago, I was also positively tested for Lyme disease. Returning to Ireland I tried to confirm this test, but Elisa test came back negative. The spinal tap showed no abnormalities either. Therefore, no special treatment was administered. I was sent home with nothing and told I should stop seeing things.
I've been assigned to the Pain Management Clinic (St. Vincent's University Hospital, Dublin) for 9 years and I have had multiple interventions in the past (incl. ER calls). I have tried various medications and traditional methods, such as nerve block injections and epidurals, all of which proved ineffective and with minimal or no relief. I am told there is nothing more they can do for me. There are no pending procedures or tests.
Throughout the years I have tried everything and anything - physiotherapy, swimming, pilates, yoga, acupuncture, spinology, chiropractics, massage, osteopathy, amatsu, electric micro currents therapy, herbal medicine, homeopathy, different diets & supplement plans, celery juicing, various forms of meditation, mindfulness, NLP, CBT, hypnosis, counselling, inner child therapy, and most recently - naturopathy. The last aimed to work on the gut dysbiosis through the implementation of good gut bacteria, but to my shock, my body reacted with a strong, adverse auto-immune response giving me more pain, and more symptoms, now looking like ME (CFS), with the typical "power crash" that feels like an immense wave that hits the central nervous system suddenly, with no warning; wave that will make me faint and have a fall, if I don't lie down immediately.
Walking this Journey is not easy. Yet, I still BELIEVE. My Heart is leading the way. And I know that because I choose Love - anything is possible.
