Help Alexis Get Urgent Medical Care
Donation protected
Hi my name is Alexis I am 21 years old and I’m raising money for my own medical emergency. I have had a stomach ulcer for the past 9 months and fight for my life every day. I do not have health insurance nor can I afford it. I have been keeping the most severe symptoms (excessive vomiting) at bay with Omeprazole and Famotidine for the past 4 months but it does not dissipate any of the trapped air in my gut. I have zero relief as far as gas production goes and it will not digest no matter how long I hold it in. The air fights to come up in belching form every 10 minutes I’m standing or sitting up and every time I intake any food or liquid, even water. Laying down is the only thing that keeps air from coming up uncontrollably but does not distract from the pressure in my gut caused by the remaining trapped air I have yet to belch. It is getting harder and harder to belch out the unwanted air from the constant straining of my throat and I have damaged my swallowing reflex in this process which makes everything exceedingly difficult. I have also been taking those meds far longer than recommended and risk causing more complications that way, but I can’t stop taking them if I want to keep my food down. I cannot work because my illness violates food safety and no job will put up with my constant symptoms and need to belch when the pressure builds too high. I have not had a full nights rest since these symptoms began and every night is a struggle just to lay down without being in unbearable pain. I am at a loss and my life has been put on pause. I am desperate for any help to get me in to see a specialist so I can be an active member of society again. I just want my life back.
