Fighting EDS and PTSD!

Hello my name Gina Cook, I am 21. I started this campaign when I was 19, it all started at work when I was 18 my left leg popped out of placefrom my hip, and pain thrugh out my back I began fainting, and falling this occurs without wornning for this I can't go to work, drive, or do daily tasks. Even go to school. It was a numbness (Paralyzation) from the waist down. As time past I got worse (still am.) I started going paralyzed from just below the rib cage down. Pain everythig above the "numb" sight. My limbs became cold as ice till I came to. Attacks can be anywhere from Five minutes to Eight hours, wile this is happening I can't do anything for myself and after it I can't quite walk well. I also Suffered from seizures without warning just like my "numbness" In the end I now walk with a cane slowly, and painfuly. I have found just Fall 2016 I had EDS and PTSD! So I will never get better. I must see a Cardiologist weekly, a mental therapist once a week, Physical therapy (PT) 3xs a week, a Rheumatologist every 3 months, and Chiropractor every 6months or more if needed. I will always get worse unless I change my life now! But the way it's looking I may become Wheelchair-bound soon. This means I must chnge my career choicesa, and future plans. I most likly be able to return to school, I won't drive again, and be hard to return to my job at the OKC Zoo the job I love to death.

     I am an artist on my free time and grow and raise my own food including raising goats dairy and meat. Tasks I just can't do with out help, in the time of my injury I have had to go to the doctor, chiropractor, ER, ride in an ambulance, had a MRI, X-rays, Ultrasounds, spinal tap, been to a Neurologist, Rheumatologist, Cardiologist, ect. and blood tests. This builds up along with my monthly bills cost for living, I have every month and more tests needed to constantly to ensure I don't get worse it is more then I can pay for just selling my art on the internet. (Which sadly is not going very well do to people dirting my name) I can't keep up if I can't work.  
       The money I am asking for is to pay off this months bills,the medical bills, and price of living day to day my insurance did not cover. I do hate having to ask for things but its all I can do at this point. The goal will grow as my bills flood in as I see more and more doctors each week unless is all payed off in one swoop. But I will do my best to keep it up to date with my bills/care of EDS and PTSD.
This is one of many coffee painted art I made to help fund my bills.
