<div>Help Me Find Answers After 5 Years of Debilitating Symptoms

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Hi, my name is Ryan McCoy, and I’m reaching out for support because I’ve been living with something for the past 5 years that has completely turned my life upside down — and despite endless testing, no one has been able to give me an answer.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>❗ What I'm Dealing With:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I live every single day with a constant, unshakable sense of imbalance. It’s not like traditional vertigo — there’s no spinning. Instead, I feel like I’m floating or swaying, both in my head and my feet. Imagine walking through life on a trampoline that never stops moving — that’s what it feels like 24/7.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Even when I’m lying down or closing my eyes, the feeling doesn't go away. Sometimes, it gets worse — objects that are completely still look like they move or shift suddenly. Occasionally, it feels like things around me are jerking or flickering in my vision. It's disorienting and terrifying.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I also experience:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Constant unsteadiness

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Internal vibrations

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Visual motion issues

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Anxiety and panic from the symptoms

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Frequent PVCs and PACs (irregular heartbeats)

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Fatigue from the emotional and physical toll

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’ve Tried Everything:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Over the last five years, I’ve seen:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Neurologists (including spinal tap, MRIs, EMGs – all normal)

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>ENTs and vestibular specialists

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Vision testing (all came back fine)

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Countless labs and bloodwork

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Mental health evaluations

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Everything keeps coming back “normal,” yet I continue to suffer every day with symptoms that steal my ability to function and enjoy life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>️‍♂️ What I Lost:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Before all this started, I was someone who loved to work out and stay active — the gym was my outlet, my peace, my purpose. Now I can barely keep up with daily tasks, let alone exercise. My independence has been taken from me.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I currently work part-time at Save-A-Lot, but many days I can’t even make it through a shift. My manager has been understanding, but it’s still a financial and emotional struggle — especially since I’m not getting the care I need through traditional systems.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>There Is Hope:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>After all this time, I’ve found a specialist who has helped people just like me — people with unexplained floaty sensations, balance problems, visual disturbances, and internal instability. They’ve helped others find real relief, and I want to give myself a chance at healing too.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Unfortunately, they don’t accept my insurance, and the out-of-pocket costs are too much for me to cover on my own.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>How You Can Help

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m raising funds to:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Cover the cost of the initial evaluation and testing</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Pay for vision therapy, treatment plans, or specialized care</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Help with transportation and time off work to attend appointments</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Any amount helps — even just sharing this page would mean a lot.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>---

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank You

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This has been an incredibly hard journey. Living with something invisible, unexplained, and unrelenting wears you down. I’m doing everything I can to keep going, and this opportunity could be the one thing that helps me finally move forward.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you so much for reading and for caring.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>– Ryan McCoy
