I, Henrik Jeppesen, was in 2019 hit by severe daily headaches and jaw pain. I visited over 40 specialists over the next three years, but no one in the medical community could determine why I was ill. I did a lot of tests, scannings and often travelled far to see experts. I gradually got worse, and I developed new terrible symptoms. Out of desperation, I created LivetTilbage.dk (LifeBack) in 2022 and wrote several Facebook posts. Someone mentioned that she had read my website and asked if anyone had thought of borrelia (Lyme disease). Since then, I have been treated with antibiotics in Denmark and travelled to America and Kazakhstan for treatments.
Lyme disease treatment in Denmark and America
I got tested and was hospitalised in Odense, where I got several Lyme disease diagnoses, but the symptoms remained extreme after a lot of treatment attempts. The Danish healthcare system would only do a month of antibiotics, which, as expected, didn’t do much against a long-term infection.
I then went to America twice for treatments, which also didn’t improve my condition much if any, despite selecting the best specialist I could find. I then went to Kazakhstan for a month, where I spent three weeks overnight at a specialised clinic, but it also didn’t do much if anything against the symptoms.
More tests
Upon my return to Denmark, I decided to get tested for mould. Great Plains Laboratory now called Mosaic Diagnostics was highly recommended on the internet and I decided to contact them. The Danish healthcare system tested me negative, while Great Plains Laboratory/Mosaic Diagnostics found Ochratoxin A, which is very common and following a consultation, I was more clear that it wasn’t something surprising. The process was simple where I collected a urine sample at home and sent it off to America via Nordic Laboratories. Another therapist Kirsten Hinz thinks I could just have gotten it from food and that “mould is everywhere”.
Conclusion
The Danish healthcare system has made conclusions that the long-term infection has caused issues with the nervous system and the brain. A report concluded a brain injury. There are no further treatment options in the Danish healthcare system and the doctor behind a big report concluded I can’t expect to get much better.
