OLD MESSAGE! 

Hi hiii everyone and thank you for following & helping with my health journey! I’ll update as often as I can & when I see my doctor, follow my Tiktok eerie_ashy to stay updated! 

My name is Ash, I am a very weird, kind hearted, creative & whimsical 22 year old woman who wants to be able to LOVE being alive & fulfill my dreams of traveling the world, going to cosmetology school to become a hair & makeup stylist, start my small crochet business and become a content creator! But sadly, most of those have to be put aside as I have been going through a lot of scary health issues, heart rate issues, and much more within the past few months. Being a young woman going through these health issues is extremely scary, exhausting, and just plain depressing. I’ve been experiencing a lot of these symptoms (some listed below) for years and thought they were normal. But as it continues to get worse and inhibits my ability to work, have fun and enjoy life, i know it’s not normal and i need to take this seriously. I already am diagnosed with Hypo-Hyperthryroidism (my thyroid fluctuates), iron deficiency, and other issues but with everything going on my doctor believes I may have POTs, EDs, and/or a possible heart condition causing my heart rate to sky rocket out of nowhere. Heart issues run in my family as well as my mom is dealing with Sjögren's, Lupus, possibly EDs/POTs and other autoimmune disorders that could be causing my issues as well. And with my physical health issues aside, I have a lot of mental health issues which are getting worsened by the physical health issues & therapy is also out of pocket for me. I’m unable to focus much on my mental health because of my physical at the moment. It’s getting to the point where I can’t go places alone anymore, I’m even thinking about getting a wheelchair & a rollator/walker

I work part time at a retail store, where I get only 9-15 hours a week at $13.80/hr. My copays at every appointment is $45. I don’t make enough to visit my doctor more than once, maybe twice a month. And with my health steadily making it harder for me to work, I cannot work more hours or else I flare up and/or I pass out at work. I can’t do a lot of the things I use to be able to do at my job like lift boxes, climb the step ladder over & over, stand in place for long, and so much more. When just exerting my body a little, it spikes my heart rate & shuts down my body. So going to work even with just the few hours I have is becoming increasingly difficult :(

My goal is set to $10,000 for a few reasons. My out of pocket maximum for my health insurance $9,200. I’ve already paid towards it so what’s left to pay before we reach that is $7,377.29. Once I pay it all off, I no longer have to pay for my doctors appointments, equipment, mobility aids, etc etc as insurance will be covering everything. I may not know what’s wrong or the exact diagnosis yet but I do know I’m going to be going to my doctor & specialists for months plus I’m going to start needing mobility aids. I have a few bills to pay off as well, my credit card, and to help start paying for my medications as well so that’s where the extra $400 is going towards!

I have never had to make a go fund me or reach out for help besides from my parents so this is extremely anxiety inducing. I live with my parents and they are unable to help with most of my payments due to their own lives but they help me as often as they can. If you can’t donate, please don’t worry! I appreciate each and every single person who simply just reads all of this through & shares my story <33
