Help Me Chew Again: A Tale of Temporal Turmoil

Donation protected
Hi, I’m Liz MacDonald, and I need you to answer a very important question. Are you tired of eating soft foods day in and day out, yearning for the satisfying crunch of a potato chip or the juicy bite of a burger? Well, welcome to my world, where chewing solid food has become a distant memory (August 2023) thanks to bilateral temporal tendonitis and arthralgia of the jaw joint, sprinkled with a couple of dashes of pinched nerve roots in my neck and lower back. It's like a gourmet meal of pain served daily, and I'm the lucky guest. And speaking of gourmet meals, my inability to eat any kind of balanced meal is also beginning to cause cognitive dysfunction.

I've embarked on a medical odyssey worthy of Homer himself, visiting more doctors than I have fingers on my aching hands. From physiatrists to dentists, from oral surgeons to craniofacial pain specialists, I've been poked, prodded, and left disappointed at every turn. But fear not, friends, for my quest for relief has led me to a beacon of hope in the Mile High City of Denver.

In this land of Rocky Mountains and green chile, I've found a doctor—a modern-day medical magician—who not only saw through the haze of my pain but promised a path towards chewing salvation. However, as fate would have it, this journey to reclaim my jaw's joy is not covered by the benevolent overlords of insurance. So here I stand, or rather, sit, at the virtual gates of GoFundMe, humbly requesting your assistance.

With your generous support, together, we can turn my tale of woe into a comedy of triumph. Together, we can defy the odds, flip the bird to insurance bureaucracy, and bring back the crunch, the munch, and the joy of solid food. So please, donate* whatever you can spare, and help me chew the pain away, one bite at a time.

*All donations over $100 will receive insider access to my secret to shedding 30 pounds in 90 days.**
**Liz MacDonald is hereby indemnified and will be held harmless for any ER visits that may arise from this weight loss sensation.
