Help me with my GI diagnosis and depression
Donation protected
Hi! My name is Jessica. I have been struggling with my physical health for about a year and my mental health for most of my life.
I am currently taking a leave of absence from work to get treatment and work on my issues. To do this, I need a diagnostic procedure (Colonoscopy) and depression treatment.
I have had multiple CT scans and doctor’s visits to try to find a diagnosis for my gastrointestinal issues from constant nausea, vomiting, and fevers. I have had to miss work due to being ill. I am working on getting a colonoscopy but due to missing work and my 5000 dollars in medical debt from the last year I am struggling. The payment for this procedure is 575.
I am also seeking treatment for my depression. Over the last 15+ years I have gone through multiple antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, therapy, EMDR, treatment centers, and transcranial magnetic stimulation. I have had some successes but it has continued to come back with a vengeance. I am working to get treatment through IV ketamine infusions which has been researched to show vast improvements in depression.
For this treatment, you receive 6-10 infusions which each cost 500 dollars. In order to do this, I need help.
I appreciate you for reading this. This could change my life and allow me to function and return to work.
If you are able to donate, that would be amazing. Or if you can share this, that would help too!
