Meghan's story (need medical help)

Hey I'm Meghan. I'm 19 years old and I've been having to deal with losing my eyesight since the beginning of my senior year of high school last year. At first I had cataracts in both eyes. I went in November 2016 and had it taken out on my right eye and December 2016 and had it taken out on my left eye. I thought everything was fine for about two weeks but then I seen my eyes get blurry and I was told I had post-cataracts and that if I waited a month for my eyes to heal I could have laser surgery. But, on December 25th I woke up and couldn't see anything out of my right eye. I called the dr and they rushed me down there to find out I was bleeding behind my right eye. He wanted to wait a week to see if it cleared, and it did. Then the beginning of January I had on other eye bleed( which cleared again) and then in the middle of January I had yet another eye bleed. I had gotten a bad migraine at school that day and I had already called my mom about my migraine but when I was in my math class I watched my vision decrease drastically and I called my mom that Friday and we went to to my dr and he informed us it was another eye bleed. He says if it didn't clear he would go do surgery on me. But at that time it cleared again. I waited a month to see what happened with my eyes and they were fine! So I was able to get the post-cataracts finally done at the end of February. Then in March I had gallbladder surgery. After that everything seemed to be fine until May. In may my right eye got blurry once again but I tried to hold it off because I had this teacher that was giving me so much stress and trouble. I finally ended up telling my mom and we went down there and they said my eye was bleeding again and this time I was gonna go to surgery. I told him to was until June so I could graduate and not worry about hurting. So I did and my blood had not cleared by the time I had surgery. I had it on June 15th to get he blood out and to make sure my Retina was still in place. While I was asleep from the surgery my dr had found the problem all along but it was too late cause at the end of June I got kicked off of my insurance so now I can't afford my medical bills. I did go back in August because my eye was really blurry again and he said that it is blurry but he can't do anything cause he don't want to make my autoimmune disease worse cause he don't know what I have yet. I am going blind in my right eye and I went to the eye dr and they saw a lot of white blood cells in my right eye and found out I have an eye disease called Pars Planitis which is a rare disease and it is caused by an autoimmune disease and the situation is I can't get any treatment done to help prevent me from going completely blind because I don't have insurance anymore. It costs a bunch just for blood work and it costs every time I go to the dr. Also, we have looked everywhere and can't get anywhere with anyone and the drs won't touch my eye because they need the blood tests to figure out what is going on with me. I could possibly have MS, lupus, Lyme disease, but I don't know what I have because I can't afford the blood work. The only thing I know for sure is my rare eye disease but they told me that this eye disease is caused by an autoammune disease I can't figure out my autoimmune disease because the blood work costs so much and therefore they won't do any further treatment on me because they don't know what is wrong with me and and they don't wanna make whatever it is worse on me so until I can get blood tests ran through they won't do anything because they don't know what is wrong with me I see 20/200 in my right eye and in my left eye it was 20/60 but my left eye has got worse over He couple of weeks. All this could be prevented and slow down the haziness in my eye if I could get blood work done and some other tests I could find out and then be able to get treatment to help me but I can afford treatment right now. I'm starting to go blind in my left eye now and if I don't hurry up I will be permanently blind in both eyes forever.

The photo below that is from after I got my eye patch, if you can't notice, that time my eye was filled with blood that was visible but it was from the surgery that he had done and that part eventually went away.
