My name is Janina and I am middle-aged. I have recently started having abdominal issues that have led me to the ER many times, and my doctors are still trying to figure out what's wrong.

In addition to that, I've just been diagnosed with a seizure disorder that I'm also being worked up for.

For the first time in my life, I'm doing exactly what my providers are recommending because I'm kind of scared.

While I live in a state with great medical care, it also comes at a great price, and even with insurance, I'm starting to go into debt.

It's getting out of control and more than I can handle, but I can't stop.

This is for my health so I can see my grandchildren one day.

As much as I hate to ask for help, I'm learning to do just that.

So, this is me, asking for help.

Thank you very much for your consideration.
