Health issues, fam and kids needing to Move

I was finally diagnosed with ADD in March. Originally I thought that getting on medication was going to solve a giant portion of issues I had with being able to concentrate and get more work done.. which it did help.. however, I also started having more and more autoimmune flares, and passing out frequently (which was logged by a device Morgan had gotten me for my birthday which logs your heart rate, sleep pattern, and O² levels, in an effort to help figure out what is going on with me and why I'm having issues functioning.) At the end of March I took this data to my neurologist, and explained the issues I have been having, with the weird 'passing out' episodes. He diagnosed me with epilepsy. I was completely shocked. Seeing as how I DJ, and go to shows, that wasn't on my radar as a possibility. However, my triggers are stress, lack of sleep, and heat.. not lights. Those all fit, so that is the first piece to the puzzle. I then found out from my Psychologist that my ADD meds were causing me to have 7-10 seizures a day.. so she had to take me off of them. I asked to be switched to another one, and she informed me that they all lower the seizure threshold, and she was unable to do that. I asked how I was supposed to be able to concentrate and work without them, and she asked "have you ever thought about disability?" (Spoiler alert: I applied 4 times and was denied, including the last time when I had a lawyer help me. FOR THE SAME THING IM DEALING WITH NOW THAT IS EVEN WORSE.)

Aside from that, we have been living in a house, that has no AC, has mold in it, and that my landlord has refused to fix anything on in 3 years, because they want us to move out so they can flip it and sell it. I worked really hard to fix our credit, and used all our tax refund to tie up any loose ends, so we could attempt to buy a house. We do not qualify for places to rent, because even when I was trying to push myself to work part time, we didn't make 3 times the amount of rent. We were denied a home loan, due to the fact that we don't make enough money. And that was with my very small, meager income that I had. Now that I have nothing, we definitely won't qualify. 

I am at a loss of what to do. We have had to take payday loans to pay our car payment, which I need to get to my doctor appointments, and to drive the kiddos to school (the district we are in charges for kindergarten, so they get driven to a school 25 min away that they can go to for free.. but I have to be their transportation) and to get groceries. The only family I have here is 2 hours away.. so my support system can't help me when I am sick and having bad days. This past week I was bed ridden most of the week, due to a bad reaction to the MRI contrast they gave me last week. My neurologist is evaluating me for MS amongst other things, and I am still waiting on an EEG and the results from the MRI.. which I should get at the end of the month. 

I'm at a loss, and really scared. We have only until the end of July to be at the place we have now. We need to move ASAP, because even though some of our incredibly kind friends donated some portable AC units to help us get through until we could move, we are only able to get them to work with the windows in 2 of our bedrooms, so cooking, cleaning, laundry, and such, is done in the main house with no AC, and the heat really affects my neurological issues. 

We were living paycheck to paycheck prior to the gas hike, and with gas prices going up (even though we try to get gas only at costco) and inflation on food and everything, we are now drowning past anything we can recover from. I have an appointment with social security about disability, but that is going to take at least a year to go through their whole process. 

We are asking for help, to not lose our only mode of transportation, and to be able to move out of this dilapidated house, to a place closer to my family, and friends, our support system.. in case I need help while I am dealing with my health issues. I am hoping for a full diagnosis with these tests they have scheduled for me, and really really praying that there is some kind of treatment to help slow down this degenerative cycle, so I am able to function and take care of my family and myself. Nothing is scarier than needing and wanting to do things that you WERE able to do, and not be able to do them. 

Trying to remember all these details, and type them out is HARD. If I have forgotten something, I apologize.. if you have questions, please ask. If i can do something for any of you, like make a Keychain (depending on my supplies) or make you a mix, I will gladly do it. I don't just want handouts or something for nothing.. but as of right now, any kind of service or product I would be able to provide anyone, would definitely not raise the amount of money we need to get us out of this situation, to be able to live. Morgan works his behind off, at a decent job.. but with 5 people to provide for, it isn't enough to work any of this out. And he has had to continue to work through his Trigenminal Neuralgia episodes the past week, because we couldn't afford to get his meds. At this point, we really need a miracle. 

Thank you for listening.. and we are appreciative of any good, positive, energy,  or prayers, you all continue to send our way. 

Much love.
