If you know me, you know I’m one of the hardest working people you’ve met. I never ask for handouts, only for work, so this is a really hard thing for me to ask. Over the last year and a half I’ve been in and out of the ER, and doctors’ offices struggling with health issues that seemed to have no explanation until recently. Two months ago I found an amazing integrative medicine clinic that has diagnosed me and started me on a recovery treatment plan. They don’t take medi-cal so I pay for out it out of pocket, but my health is a priority so it’s worth it. I was told that due to my existing auto immune disease, being prescribed antibiotics frequently since I was an infant, and traumatic events, my adrenal glands are no longer functioning; therefore causing Adrenal Fatigue, IBS, and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. To top it off, because of my weakened immune system I have been suffering from chronic sinusitis for over a year. The infection keeps coming back because a tumor has formed in my sinuses, so I have to have surgery to have it removed in August. As you may know, I work in a hair salon with chemicals which causes additional oxidative stress and is making my condition worse. Per my doctors, I need to take at least a month off of work, and as hard as it is for me to ask I am going to need some help. Being that I work for myself, I don’t get unemployment or disability so if I don’t work, I don’t have an income and my bills don’t get paid. I have spent so much on doctors appointments, supplements and treatments, desperate to get my life and my body back and am in debt $5,000 because of it. I work 3 jobs with one day off (if I’m lucky) to try and pay off my debt and continuous medical expenses making my monthly bills over $3k. Taking the time I need to fully heal is necessary and I am trusting that the universe will take care of the rest. Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart, any help is greatly appreciated.
