Hello friends, my name is William Fiscus. I live in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. For over 25 years, I’ve had Lyme disease. I won’t get into all the nitty-gritty about how the government developed Lyme disease. But just rest assured they did, and they probably have the cure for it. It’s one of the fastest-growing ailments in the US today. It is grossly misunderstood and grossly mistreated. I’ve been in this fight for over 25 years. I’m 67 now. My disease has taken everything from me. I’ve been a nurse for 31 years. During that time, I have suffered greatly from this disease. It has taken every dime that I have to fight it. I am asking humbly for your help. I have good drug coverage, but the thing is, drugs just cover the symptoms. So I’m on a quest to find natural remedies to beat this disease. However, sadly, I need help. If you could find it in your heart to help me, I will let everything be known as to how your money has helped me and gotten me closer to a cure for this devastating disease. I hate to ask, but it’s all I have left now. All of the things that I try come out of my own pocket. Insurance companies won’t pay for anything that actually helps, so now I’m left with asking for help. Just know that I’ll be the guinea pig. I am totally determined before I die to find an actual cure for this disease. I don’t do this for me. I’m 67. I do it for all those that come behind me. Please help if you can, and if you can’t, believe me, I completely understand. Thank you so much. You can call me Will in any correspondence.
If you know anyone that has Lyme disease, you know the struggle that they go through every day. As Forrest’s mother said, every day is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get, what your day is going to be like, or what you’re gonna be able to do. I went undiagnosed for 20 years. Since then, I have been fighting this disease with everything that I have. I have gone from total care to actually being able to function as a useful human being. Each day, though, you start back at the beginning. The aches, the pains, the brain fog are all just a small portion of what the average chronic Lyme person endures on a daily basis. This is hard for me to understand. They think their friends that have Lyme are weak or, even worse, lying about their situation. Please let me tell you that in most cases, they’re underreporting what’s going on with them. We are what I like to call the silent sufferers. Undiagnosed or underdiagnosed, the medical world does not know in general how to treat you. They treat your symptoms, not the root cause. Thankfully, there are a few doctors that specialize in this area. One of them is Dr. Saleeby. He got me started on the right path. The journey is long, my friends. It’s hard. It’s tough. It’s confusing at times. What’s the best way to go? As I said, I will be the guinea pig. I want to try things that the doctor will sign onto, even though I have a very great doctor who allows me a lot of latitude and backs me up. She herself has said, “I know nothing about it, so if you’ll do the research, I will help you feel better any way I can.” Make no mistake about it, my friends, you are in charge of your healthcare. No one, I repeat, no one is coming to save you. You must do it on your own, and if allowed through help financially, yes, and I’m so sorry for that, but that’s the point where I’m at. I will share all information, and I promise if I can find a cure, it will be spread across the world. Imagine being wrongly accused of a crime and spending 25 years in prison. That’s where I’ve been. God bless you and thank you for anything that you can do for me.
