Every single person with ME/CFS I know who has improved significantly, gone into remission, or even recovered, used an integrative approach to do so. This means that sometimes antibiotics or antivirals were helpful, but also certain vitamins and minerals or often specific strains of high-dose probiotics. In some cases it was also necessary to address environmental factors that may have impacted their health.
I've been on SSI and unable to work for the last twelve years because of my illness. This means my income is severely restricted and thus Medicaid is my only insurance option.
The problem is, 90% of the interventions above aren't covered by Medicaid. Plus, like most doctors, none of the ME/CFS specialists accept Medicaid, whether they're local or even at prestigious clinics like Stanford or the Open Medicine Institute.
That's why this Fundraiser is needed.
Fortunately the Daniel J. Becks Special Needs Trust was set up by a dear friend to specifically raise funds to help pay for appointments, medical tests, prescribed drugs and supplements, and medical equipment that isn't covered by Medicaid.
I have no access to these funds. They are paid out by a Trustee specifically for medical care and treatment as mentioned above and by law, they cannot be used for any other purpose.
