Hello my lovely humans. I have finally taken the leap to make a go fund me because unfortunately desperate times call for desperate measures. In summary Im forced to make this go fund me to pay for surgery to help properly diagnose and treat a condition called endometriosis. It affects my life every single day. It's symptoms are crippling chronic stomach and back pain, unpredictable strong bleeding which has has me on the verge on anemia and gastrointestinal tract upset. Due to the non existent health care system in Ireland I feel completely overlooked as I could be waiting up to a few years just to speak to a gynecologist let alone have surgery, in the mean time I've been given tones and tones of painkillers which have in turn destroyed my stomach with no end in sight. My plan is to pay for my flights, surgery and treatment in Czech republic and living expenses during this time with the money raised.

I have struggled with painful periods since I have been very young, however this regular annoyance in the last year has taken a debilitating life changing twist which has left me unable to hold down a job in order to be able to afford treatment. My mental health has taken a huge hit as I feel completely helpless while also trying to cope with the blinding pain that I'm in almost every day. It has turned my life upsidedown and has left me completely desperate. I hold down a full time job due to many medical absences. This condition has isolated me socially, deemed me unreliable, stopped me from seeing my friends and do hobbies and jobs I love. If you can spare a euro or two to donate I will be eternally grateful.

Thank you so much in advance.

Sophie.
