One Woman’s Fight To Access Life-Changing Neurological Treatment

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Daloude Louima faces daily struggles after 2 tragic traffic accidents that left her in debilitating chronic pain, and nearly immobilized.

Her neurological complications began in 2018 after she was hit by a car as she was walking across Carmichael Road.

Daloude Louima –

“I could hear the screeching, and the jeep, it actually hit me.”

“My second accident happened in 2023 where a next vehicle, a jeep, came onto my lane, wrongfully [hitting] me, and as a result I have been battling ongoing nerve issues.”

She says she’s now unable to work, unable to drive, and barely able to walk due to the pain.

Its effects on her life are just too much.

Daloude Louima –

“The pain is excruciating, the pain feels as if I’m in labour, thats the pain I am feeling constantly. My waist, my spine, my back.”

“I’m unable to work and having to be dependent on everyone: “hey I need help with going to the restroom. I need help with this. I need help with that.” I’m an older sibling, my mom passed away in 2024, and I have younger siblings looking up to me, it’s a bit sad.”

Daloude is now seeking answers for her condition, a diagnosis, a treatment, but she says neurology appointments in New Providence are few and very far apart.

Daloude Louima –

“I have an appointment for neurology abroad, not abroad, I mean, locally here at PMH, and it’s all the way in June 2026. I cannot wait that long because I’m no longer able to drive, I’m unable to care for myself. I’m heavily dependent on my walker and other person’s assistance.”

She’s now seeking help abroad from the Cleveland Clinic’s Pain Management and Neurology Departments in an effort to find some form of relief, and reclaim her life.

Daloude Louima –

“I’ll finally be able to finish my semester. You know walk the stage.”

“I guess I will have to learn how to walk a third time again, but I know it’s not gonna be easy, but it’s gonna be great. Whether I get the answers I’m hoping for or not, at least I’ve tried, I’ve given it all I’ve got.”
