I never thought I would need this....

Hello everyone.

Well, as you may have noticed, I've been absent from social media for a while and it's time to explain. Back in August, I developed nerve damage. Neuropathy. I had it once before and it went away for a long time. It came back. Doctors kept telling me it was from diabetes. I trusted them. I worked hard to exercise, lose weight, eat right, balance my blood sugar. I lost 70lbs and did all I could but the neuropathy got worse. Instead of getting better with methods used to help everyone else that I helped in the past, I kept getting worse. I finally had to go out on temporary disability in November. Test after test, appointment after appointment, brought noth new in revelation regarding cause. At the same time I did testing and found out my body is highly toxic with mycotoxins. Mainly Chaetoglobosin, a form of Chaetonium. All the while I thought I was being proactive in getting better. There was a poison in my body and it's eating away at my nerves. Both peripheral and Central. We had our home tested but there was no concrete evidence of this kind of mold but factors that need to be addressed and neutralized. cleaning, changing the floors, furniture, etc....

In the meantime, I can barely walk and I can't stand for any measurable amount of time.

My job, of thirty nine years, my life. My job is my life and I love it. I can not do my job right now and have no choice but to stay home and try to heal and recover both senses and function. My only goal growing up was being able to take care of my Mom. We are all each other have and we have nobody else.

I am not even in a position to take care of myself, let alone a woman who dedicated her whole life to take care of me.

My funds are low, my savings are low, I have no income coming in and the cost for doctors, rehabilitation, physical therapy, plus cleaning and renovations, as well as the supplements, vitamins, medications, and paying bills like auto, insurance, rent, are coming fast and piling up. I don't have much, I never wanted much. I never wanted a flashy car, a mansion, the "finer" things, or lots of toys. My passion has always been my love for the drum and bugle corps and color guard activities and of course pop culture, and my friends and family.

I one day hope to be back on my feet as my goal now is to do what it takes to restore my body, it's function and my ability to take care of myself, as well as have the house cleaned and made into a healing environment so I can get better, get back to work, earn a living and take care of myself and my Mom. And I have also vowed once I'm able to, I plan on dedicating the rest of my life to help others in this position so they will never know the fear, the pain, the sheer terror of what I'm going through.

Any funds I am able to get will be going directly towards my care, my home, my Mom, my bills and my insurance.

I'm doing this because I really have hit a brick wall and through the years I've helped others and always said to myself to do whatever I can to not have to be in this position. I failed.

I'm embarrassed, I'm scared, I'm sick, and in Desperate need.

I do not expect anyone to help. Should you feel you can, or you want to, it would be appreciated more than you know and it will not be forgotten, abused, or neglected.

It's been a rough time here with emergency after emergency, I made it through them all but this time, I just don't have the strength or the resources to do this on my own.

If you want to contact me, feel free to reach out on Facebook and I'll give you my email and text, and I'll do the best I can to get back and can fill you in on anything you may want to know. Any evidence of tests, bills, etc.

Please, if you have learned anything in life. Remember that no matter how invincible you feel or think you are, without your health, you truly have nothing.

I pray it's not too late for me, and my Mom.

Thank you for reading this.
