our visit to the Lyme Disease Center

[Guest guest]

The Lyme Disease Center in Marlton, NJ is also very wonderful..the same groups

are affiliated with The Tick Borne Disease Center in burg, NJ. We were

very happy with them.

and I will have Picc Lines in soon. We will be treated with Rocephin and

Zithromax. Rocephin given through the picc lines and Zithromax orally. We will

also be taken multi vitamins and Acidophilus (not sure if I spelled that right.)

We haven't actually set a date yet because I have been trying to find ways for

the insurance to pay for some of it. No dice. Notta gonna happen. The Family

doctor has actually been pretty good about it...they have been calling the

insurance left and right but Gateway just refuses..mainly because it is out of

state treatment. I have tried many LLMD's with in the state but have not found

a good one. They are either not taking patients or they just don't do IV. The

one I had Dr. F would only do orals and I was refused to be seen by Dr. P even

though he was taking all the other Lyme patients of Dr F. because dr. f is

sick. He refused to see both and I. I did take in but because of

certain doctors whom she had seen, which he feels is the best, he would not even

touch her..Then all of a sudden he told me that he doesn't see children under

five...which is a very poor excuse, especially since the secratary at the desk

when I called to make an appointment for said he sees many young

children...and refused to see me although I had been clinically diagnosed with

Lyme Disease. I am sending him both 's and my positive pcr Lyme tests. I

know he saw all of Dr. F's patients because the nurse from Dr. F said he was.

She could not understand why he would refuse me treatment. I know it was

because of the incident with . He is from what I understand fairly new to

the LLMD world. Why claim to be an LLMD if you can't stand on your own to feet

instead of relying on all the other LLMD's to make a diagnosis.

Anyway....If anyone lives near to Marlton, NJ please let me know. I need to

know real cheap hotels, or even a ronald mcdonald house would be very nice. We

are very poor right now and have only $20.00 in the bank. my husband gets a

very small check comming up. and he is pretty much out of work tell

September...we don't know what we are going to do. I hate to rely on people so

much but I have no choice. Please if anyone can help with helping us to find

the cheapest rate to go for temporary housing..because we have to stay down

there for a week for lessons infusings and so forth..they keep a very watchful

eye on you for the first week. I am blessed in the fact that they will not

refuse us treatment right now even though we can't pay right now...Darren does

have a full time position set up for September and will be give full

benefits...but I have a feeling even that insurance they go through will

probably refuse to pay for anything.

We just barely have enough food to eat. This is very discouragning. We are

living on pasta. This disease has brought us so far down. Darren's transcript

is on hold probably due to the fact he had to quit in the middle of a semester

last year because of us moving up here. He wants to finish schooling and get a

degree for Special ed. But even that is put on hold or impossible now. But we

are blessed beyond belief with friendships and such a heart warming center. We

feel we are at least heading a little bit closer to wellness (or at least a much

better quality of life). The feeling of peace has been with us. We know we are

doing the right thing and trust that God will fill in where we can't even if it

is through other people. It has been a very humbling experience and have gained

so much from this disease. Good has come from it. But I sure am ready to put

it at rest. We would all love to provide for ourselves but I feel we must learn

humility and help everyone through this crazy world of ours. I feel this is the

biggest reason for our existence. I also believe we are all worth so much. At

times we feel that others put so little value on us...been there are others who

are so kind and so good. We can't loose faith in humanity. Okay I didn't

really mean to make this sound so preachy. But I have felt such a great

swelling of thankfullness for life and for friendships, love and etc. God has

been good to us. How can we not be thankful? We have perseverance and we have

a chance to make a great contribution to humanity. Thanks everyone for being my

friend and helping me through this.

Love,
