Gash's friend Alice
Posted: 23 Apr 2015 23:04So Gash made a status update on WoTLabs a couple of days ago about a friend who's had Lyme disease for over 4 years, being diagnosed with it a week ago.
For those of you who don't know, Lyme disease is a bacterial infection from the Borrelia genus spread by ticks and/or lice. It has over a hundred different symptoms and 3 stages of development. If she was treated by Gregory House a couple of years ago, this would've been solved. However, this disease is sort of a ninja in the greater scheme of medicine, it's complex in the way it causes symptoms and it's not heavily researched or understood by doctors.
Anyway basically 3 stages: Early localised, early disseminated & late disseminated.
I'm not gunna bore you with the shit, but basically Alice is at number 3 and gunna take a few more years to get better. As the symptom check list goes: CFS, dysautonomia, fibromyalgia, heavy metal toxicity, pseudomonas and many more. I have no idea what half of these are but it basically means in and out of hospital/bed ridden for the best part of two years.
The inevitable result is: she will get better. But it's gunna take time & a long time spent with low moral sux. She needs a portable oxygen machine (link below) to make life a bit easier.

Please don't donate if you can't afford/don't want to, that's totally cool, this is just a 50:50 call to 1. raise attention to the disease and 2. an opportunity to help make a young girl better. ^^
Oh and if you do... Gash will probably end up eating a lime and crying in front of a camera. Will post it here if/when.
