More than €5,000 raised for Tipperary man battling Lyme Disease

Fionn Cleary is a Tipperary native who has been suffering from Lyme disease in recent years and he is looking to travel to the Neomed Institute in Cyprus to get some relief from chronic fatigue and other symptoms. 

He was diagnosed in 2021 and currently has a fundraiser operational. In a statement on his Go Fund Me page, the Tipperary native who hoped to build a career as a comedian and a writer, says that he is looking for an improvement with the new treatment:

"For the past decade I’ve been dealing with worsening symptoms of chronic fatigue, sleep issues and cognitive issues. It’s been particularly bad since a major crash of health in 2019, and since then I live with a constant exhaustion and inability to focus on anything.

"In 2021 I got diagnosed with Lyme disease and some of its coinfections through the Armin Labs test. Some treatments that I’ve been able to access here have worked a little, but this year my health is really declining and I’ve had to cancel everything I’ve wanted to do in the last six months.

"The doctors here are offering no help for the chronic fatigue and cognitive issues, which are my most debilitating symptoms. So that is why I’m looking to the Neomed Institute in Cyprus because people who go there are reporting relief from their chronic fatigue and other symptoms". 

So far over over €5,000 has been raised and you can support his fundraiser here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-fionns-lyme-disease-treatment?cdn-cache=0
