Help Mindy Heal

Hi friends, it’s me Mindy Sue Bell (Mindy Sue Ewing). It feels really vulnerable to be here asking for help. But I feel it’s necessary. Family support is not an option as I am not in contact with most of my family, so I want to reach out to my friends.
I’m a single mama to two amazing children. Y’all know how hard I work to take care of everyone. Many of you know that supporting my daughter through her own significant challenges has been my main priority the last few years. I started feeling extra tired and shaky a few month back and it accelerated quickly the last few months. Initially my symptoms were attributed to chronic anemia and anxiety but I asked for intensive thryrod testing and the results came back last week. In addition to two other autoimmune disorders that have been w me since childhood, I now have hyperthyroid Graves’ disease. I have lost a lot of weight and muscle, I am dizzy and can only drive short distances, I tremble and lose balance easily, stairs are a challenge, I am very weak and can’t carry or lift things.
I am meeting with an endochronologist next week to determine next steps but I’m honestly overwhelmed and frightened. In addition to physical issues, Graves’ disease carries an intense emotional component of anxiety, depression and irritability. I am glad now that I know my depression and anxiety has a cause and we can treat it because it’s been awful bad. I have felt disassociated often the last month. I have to rest and it’s physically impossible to work full time for now. It will take me time to get healthy again. . I am on a very limited autoimmune diet and have to eat constantly just to try and not lose any more weight
My insurance will cover most of my tests and medication but I need help with expenses.
Please help if you can or share this campaign. I appreciate everyone who has already given their love & support & checked up on me. I look forward to being strong and healthy and back to helping others on their own healing path.
Thank you, I’m grateful for you all
love, Mindy Sue
