I have dreaded making this public for months, but it's getting worse and the truth is, I need help. Last May of 2025, I had a cracked tooth and infection, so I went to the dentist and got the molar pulled. The dentist pointed out a faint circle in the panoramic X-ray of my jaw and highly recommended that I go to a doctor to see what that was. So I went and got a CAT scan of my head, and the doctor said, considering the location, I likely have a golf ball-sized mucus retention cyst, and she recommended surgery to remove it. She said likely as they can't be 100% sure until they go in. I've been feeling my left ear clogged for over a year, and I believe it's adding to my already present issues with migraines. The pain is intense, quick, and random, not lingering or constant, thankfully.

Now, as most of you know me, you know I've been completely on my own since I was a child and never had family support and currently have enough savings to get me by for maybe a month's time. I've never had health insurance. I've always taken excellent care of myself. I'm 43, I work very hard, have lots of experience and skills. Now, I'm faced with a medical issue that I need to take care of ASAP and I'm asking for your help. Money raised here will pay for most medical bills and some time off work to heal. I am extremely grateful for any and all help you can provide.
