Melissa was an elementary school teacher for 18 years. About 4 years ago she developed h-pylori and the antibiotics damaged the blood brain barrier in her stomach and brain and left her open to infections.
A few months later she contracted mono then covid. Her body couldn’t fight off infections and she began to have times when the world shifted violently under her which eventually led to her live in a constant state of her brain swaying all the time. After exhausting western medicine, she was led to Neurosolutions in Louisiana where she met functional Neurologist Kyle Daigle. They performed extensive labs and tests on her and determined she had several viruses in her plus mold and other malfunctions including Mal deDebarquement Syndrome (MdDS) which caused the continuous swaying.
She has many triggers that make the swaying become severe and also cause her body to feel extremely heavy and a gravitational pull to pull her body to the ground or to a wall where she essentially becomes stuck until the episode ends. It also causes hyperventilation and extreme nausea along with pain in the neck and back of head often bringing her to tears because of the pain.
Some of the triggers involve loud or busy environments, heat, screen time over 15 minutes, flashing or flickering lights, plus others.
She is in constant fight or flight mode causing her muscles to contract and getting them to relax is almost impossible.
She was improving through therapy when we were rear ended in our vehicle on November 1, 2025 which set her back over 4 months of therapy.
Please help her regain and continue to improve. She is still fighting the state of Texas to get her disability status, but until then she has no income and no insurance.
God is her strength during this time.
Please help support her in prayer and financial support. Every donation is so appreciated. God bless.
