Help me get a private Endoscopy

Appreciate everyone who takes the time out to read this,

My name is Kelz/Kelly/Scottishkelz

During 2020 to January 2022 I couldn't eat solid foods, My anxiety was so bad, and I had major swallowing issues. Because in Scotland we get FREE healthcare the wait time for an endoscopy was 2years. I lost over 70lbs within 4months (5stone) I was absolutely struggling to even drink water.

Then finally in January 2022 I got an Endoscopy, 4 weeks later it I got my results to say I had esophagitis, During that horrific time I was constantly choking on food, struggling to swallow foods and always felt like it was getting stuck. After finally receiving the results I got put on omeprazole and within 4 weeks I could eat again.

I fell pregnant in March 2022 and Had my fourth child on 1st December 2022. 2 Weeks after giving birth I had a possible womb infection, High blood pressure and I've had 4 skin infections.

For the last 5 weeks I've had a post nasal drip, I've tried different nasal sprays Different esophagitis medications and I have a severe feeling of a constant horrible feeling after eating foods to the point im having panic attacks and its affecting my mental health.

I have stopped smoking, tried a gluten free diet, and im still getting severe symptoms. Ive been to A&E at the Hospital, Ive even called an Ambulance because its that extreme after eating. I have also been to the doctors more than 6 times and They just keep saying I need an Endoscopy but its a lengthy wait 1-2 years. I've even asked to be referred to an ENT.



The doctor has put me back on Omeprazole (after trying Lansoprazole) But this is still not helping the major symptoms.

I have set up to raise £2500 to go to a private care centre to get an endoscopy ASAP (as I cannot wait and suffer another 2 years of this) This will tell me a better diagnosis and show them if things have got worse or if theres something else underlying that is causing this. It will also reassure me and help my anxiety/panic attacks.

This is the last thing I wanted but with four kids I do not have this kind of money spare.

with the £2500 it will pay for
specialist consultant £240
Endoscopy £1970
and around £200-£400 for allergy testing (incase i am allergic to a food)
With this money I will get this done ASAP and can book an appointment to be seen.

Appreciate anyone who has taking there time out to read this and appreciate anyone else who can help <3
