Help Keri get the medical help she needs

Hi Family and Friends,

First of all, I’d like to say this is incredibly humbling for me. Many, if not most of you, know I’m battling some health issues. I haven’t been able to work for about 6 years - and believe me I’ve tried so many times. It’s even difficult to paint these days. I try to see my family and friends here & there, then I’m typically back home in bed or on the couch.

I was just reading my diagnoses on my general physician’s website, and they are many. Most of them probably started with the mental health challenges I have - PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I’m in trauma therapy, and will continue to be, because I do feel it’s helping. But the I ended up with endometriosis, and had surgery for that, already had severe allergies, and recently had a 3rd surgery for that, IBS and some other stomach troubles I’ll spare you ☺️, thyroid issues, and recently fibromyalgia. I’m currently battling some of the worst fatigue I’ve ever had, and the pain comes and goes. I’m not saying ANY of this to feel sorry for myself, but I’m in the fight for my life. I so want to be better and get back to work

I humbly am asking for help. Even the smallest amount will do, and my plan is to go to a functional medicine dr. I’m talking with one of the best in the nation about getting some testing done, and they’ll have some recommendations of what I should do to resolve the issues. Traditional medicine, as you know, only puts a bandaid on the symptoms, and I’m concerned the meds are making my sleepy and loopy, maybe even sick. I’m not even sure of the cost at this point, but am starting with this amount. And I’m happy to share receipts, etc.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! I hope this finds you and your family well. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

With all my heart,

Keri
