I didn’t want to have to do one of these but due to my husband Brian’s sudden declining in health issues we’ve had to see many doctors, specialist, emergency room visits, prescriptions and tests which has become very costly in the past couple months making things difficult for us financially. I’ve had to take a lot of time off work to take care of him and take him to Dr. specialist visits and for tests as well which concerns me as I finally been hired as a permanent employee with a new job I was temping at so we’re going to have to have him start taking Uber car rides as well as we only have one car plus the loss of weight and muscle tone and pain in his legs is making it hard for him to get up and get around :-/
He’s having severe pain in his leg and joints, migraine headaches, nosebleeds, fevers, suddenly losing rapid weight loss and muscle mass loss & he’s very weak and fatigued. He’s also been having AFib episodes so is now on heart meds which we’re not sure what has caused that. He was so strong and muscular just a few months ago. We’re very scared :(
The cost of Dr. specialists and prescriptions has been extremely expensive so far being 50.00 each co-pay visit, 250.00 for ER co-pays, and around 150.00 in medications monthly that might increase once they find out what it is plus the cost of tests. And he has not been able to work for the past few weeks during these sudden ailing conditions and we don’t know when he’ll be able to go back to work yet.
He’s been going to many doctor appointments the past several weeks to different types of doctors, cardiologist, neurologist & an infectious disease dr who ordered blood work for about 12 different tests and all came back negative so we still don’t know what it is or what to treat. Therefore, he has been recommended to see an oncologist and a Lyme disease type specialist next which he is scheduled for both tomorrow the Dec 30th.
They don’t know if it’s due to Lyme disease, arthritis, cancer or maybe an infection from the pain management injections he was getting in his back and neck or something else
Anyways I just wanted to ask for your positive thoughts, prayers and understanding of what we’re going through and if you could possibly spare a little financial help we would be most grateful and humbled by it. I know it’s after the holidays and things are tight for many so no worries if you can’t just send us your positive thoughts and prayers please.
This is all just so sudden and everything seems like it’s not even real. Trying to be strong but it has been an emotional roller coaster with everything. We are being strong though.
Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Hope you all have a Happy New Year and many blessings in 2020
With hope & love
Gloria & Brian xx
