A DUBLIN WOMAN has turned to crowdfunding to pay for urgent medical treatment. Denise Ryan (30), from Rathfarnham, contracted Lyme disease while living in Canada, a condition which went untreated for four years due to misdiagnosis. Denise returned to Ireland two years ago and was finally diagnosed in 2014. Lyme disease, also known as Borreliosis, is a bacterial infection passed to humans through bites from an infected tick. She has had digestive and immune system problems since birth, with have exacerbated her condition. She has already raised almost €20,000 of her €30,000 goal, and is due to fly out for treatment in Seattle later this month.
