Neuroboreliosis Campaign

 

My name is Bronwyn. I’m now 46 years old and have been chronically ill and unable to work for 7 years.

I was eventually diagnosed with late stage neurological Lyme disease. 

Unfortunately in December 2021, I was admitted to hospital for 3 weeks of intravenous rocephin (antibiotic that crosses the blood brain barrier). I was apparently on 2mg twice a day for 3 weeks straight.

This had disastrous effects on me as the treatment was incorrect and too much rocephin was administered and for too long. The infection was in the brain, I had vasculitis and encephalitis due to the infection being in the brain. As all the bacteria died off, especially in my brain I developed high intercranial head pressure and more brain swelling. Toxins also flooded my brain that sent me into a psychosis. 

I was hospitalized for another 11 months as so much neurological damaged had occurred as a result. 

My husband then decided to also file for divorce.

I am still unable to work and need some financial relief as healing from brain trauma takes time and therapy by a neuropsychologist.

I don’t really have any other support open to me. 

My mom is very supportive but in a dire financial state.

I need to raise funds for my medical and legal bills and to survive through this.

Any donation would be greatly appreciated.
