After a year and a half of medical issues, and dismissal I believe I have had another relapse of a condition located in my spine. I had a viral infection in my respiratory system that when recovering left me in such intense pain, dizziness, and spasms. The pain leaves me in bed crying, any heat on my back or legs causes immeasurable pain even with the medication. Burning, tingling, static, and shooting pain.

I am on muscle relaxers and pain medication. The steroids only help half the day and the course of them is done now. I am trying to continue working and finishing my degree with no direction to treatment. I am desperate enough for answers and treatment to go outside of the direct medical pipeline and ask you now to help with funding a private MRI on my spine.

I am not a perfect person but I try to help always. I have made it my mission in life to help, to be a person that can help. To make art that challenges, and explores the depths of what can be art and humanity. I just want to live a life making neat and cool things. Currently I am incapable of helping anyone. I cannot make the things to help and challenge anyone. Some times I close my eyes in the pain and pretend I do not exist. I ask you humbly to consider donating to help me. Much love, Steph.
