Help Andrea Fight Functional Neurological Disorder

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Andrea and I have been dealing with a condition called Function Neurological Disorder (FND) for the past two years. It's a rare disorder and unfortunately, not many doctors have been able to provide any effective treatment for it. I have tried visiting various doctors, therapists, counselors, and programs, but none of them have been able to alleviate my symptoms. Currently, I am taking a lot of medication, but I still experience symptoms on a daily basis.

My symptoms tend to vary from day to day. Some days, it's difficult for me to walk or I even experience paralysis. On other days, I struggle with speech or have seizures. I also have tremors that resemble Tourette's Syndrome. The pain I experience is so intense that even a light tap feels like a bruise. Additionally, I am sensitive to light, the sun, and heat. It's been a while since I last enjoyed a vacation with my family due to my condition.Due to the severity of my condition, I have resorted to online high school as I am unable to attend in-person classes like other typical teenagers.

Recently, we came across a program called TeenFNDAcademy and Dr. Lee, who seems like a great doctor. The program also appears promising. However, the only obstacle we face is the cost. We have explored other programs, but they were more expensive and not virtual like this one. According to Dr. Lee, waiting too long could decrease my chances of a complete recovery as I grow older. I understand that it's a lot to ask, but any donation, even just sharing my story, would be greatly appreciated.
