Since I had a severe reaction to the COVID vaccination in 2021 and subsequently underwent therapies that made things worse, I have noticed my health steadily declining. For more clarity and help, I traveled to the green region of Upstate New York to see a specialist experienced in complex conditions. After many consultations with Dutch doctors who couldn’t help me, this felt like my last hope. The journey was tough, but with medical assistance from United Airlines and my mother by my side, it was manageable. Looking back, it was worth every dollar.
A Successful Crowdfunding
It was a vulnerable step to ask for help, but thanks to my crowdfunding campaign via WhyDonate, this trip became possible. The costs for scans, treatment, travel, accommodation, and transport in the expensive state of New York are impossible to cover on my disability benefits alone, especially since insurance provides no coverage. Therefore, I am incredibly grateful to everyone who supported me financially. I am truly flabbergasted by the support, especially from people I don’t even know personally. Thank you so much again!
How a Fellow Patient Guided Me to America
Let me go back to how I eventually ended up in America. I connected with Sharon, a young Dutch woman who developed severe symptoms after using the antibiotic ciprofloxacin. After a neck manipulation by a manual therapist, her symptoms worsened. Since she found no help in the Netherlands, she was forced to seek treatment abroad. She ended up at Rosa Clinic and noticed some improvement. She now lives in the U.S. and regularly visits Dr. Rosa. Because our symptoms are very similar, she recommended I see him too. I was able to meet her personally at the clinic, which was very nice, but also touching to see how she copes with such challenges at a young age.
