Health Crisis

Hi,

My name is Jacqueline, and I am a 40-year-old woman from New Jersey.

I have been dealing with health issues for the past four years, and my condition has really deteriorated within the last year. I haven't been able to work steadily because of this since 2021.

In 2018, I began having migraines regularly, which made me experience dizziness, balance issues, tinnitus, twitching, loss of circulation in my hands and feet (Raynauds syndrome), and numbness and tingling in different parts of my body.

At the beginning of 2020, while I was asleep, I began having heart palpitations and felt that my heart was racing. I immediately went to the ER, and the doctors told me that my heart was in atrial fibrillation with a heart rate of 170. After 12 hours, my heart went back into normal rhythm, and I was sent home on a beta blocker & blood thinner.

From November 2018 until July 2021, I saw countless doctors and specialists, but they weren't able to help, or to properly diagnose my condition. I was fortunate enough to be able to function "normally", but in July 2021, my doctor decided that it was best to take me off the beta blocker. Two days later, I woke up in the middle of the night with my entire body shaking, my heart racing, and my vision extremely blurred.

From that day until now, my body and my symptoms have gotten worse and worse. The adrenaline pumping through me for months really took a toll on my chronic illness. To add insult to injury, I had COVID/pneumonia in December 2021 which made my previous symptoms worst, added on POTS syndrome and blood clots. I haven't been able to work, I haven't been able to take care of my son, and I've now been constantly in bed for the past few months. My body feels extremely weak and fatigued, I experience vertigo daily, and at times, it becomes impossible for me to stand up for long periods of time. I also have what feels like brain inflammation/pressure, so I can't even watch TV like I used to, or handle much stimulation. I can't walk more than 10 minutes or do much activity without feeling fatigued for a day or two.

I would really ask anyone reading this message to contribute to my GoFundMe page, and assist me through these difficult times. Your generosity would be SO MUCH appreciated, and it would help me have a normal life once again, and enjoy it with my son in the future.

God Bless you!
