Any donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward:

• Private autonomic dysfunction testing in the UK (at the Syon Clinic, BRENTFORD)

• costs to reach specialists for testing

• All expenses are going towards testing while I am unable to work due to my physical health.

Update: ❤️

I’ve safely made it to the UK, but I’m still struggling to access genuine medical care through the NHS. My GP here has refused to provide referrals for the essential tests I need, insisting they’re not obligated to, and they also declined to run the blood work that could help identify what’s causing my worsening health. Before leaving Canada, I had significantly abnormal blood results pointing toward possible adrenal issues, but I’ve been told it could take up to 8 months to see an endocrinologist through the NHS. I’m now hoping to raise enough funds to see a private endocrinologist as soon as this week if able too. Any donations or shares would mean the world to me, as I’ve been unable to work since my ablation and my family unfortunately can’t support me financially right now. Thank you so much for all your kindness and continued support — it truly keeps me going.

My Story

In 2022, I began experiencing debilitating migraines with vertigo that took a toll on my daily life. Thankfully, I went into remission in late October 2024, I got sick with a viral infection in late November and didn’t feel recovered from that weeks on, March 2025 I suffered from supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and underwent a heart ablation in April 2025.

Since then, my health has sharply declined. I now live with suspected severe autonomic dysfunction, a disorder that affects the body’s ability to regulate heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and more. Despite testing in British Columbia — including a cardiac MRI, brain MRI, — everything has come back “normal,” leaving me without answers or treatment.

What I’m Facing

Day to day, I struggle with:

• Severe dizziness, hot flushes, weakness, and fatigue/ flu like symptoms daily

• Chest pain and episodes of rapid heart rate (tachycardia) while at rest

• Fluctuating blood pressure (orthostatic intolerance)

• Persistent headaches, abdominal pain and diarrhea - weight loss of 80lbs since March.

• Fainting, blood pooling and tremors, fits.

Living in a small town, the only care available to me is through a cardiologist and a neurologist. Unfortunately, my cardiologist has told me he can no longer help me, and my neurologist has said it does not fall under his specialty. I’m at a crossroads: wait times in Canada are extremely long, and the testing I need isn’t even available in my province. (British Columbia)

Why I Need Help

After more than eight years apart from my family, I planned to travel to the UK to see my family prior to becoming unwell, but now I need to travel to seek private autonomic testing (such as tilt-table and sweat tests). As both a British citizen and Canadian resident, I am able to access care there that simply isn’t available to me in Canada. These tests must be paid for privately and come with significant costs.

I want more than anything to get my life back or at least gain clarity and a baseline for treatment so I can move forward.

How You Can Help,

Any donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward:

• Private autonomic dysfunction testing in the UK (at the Syon Clinic, BRENTFORD)

• costs to reach specialists for testing

• All expenses are going towards testing while I am unable to work due to my physical health.

Right now, the financial burden rests on my partner, who is working tirelessly to keep us stable.

Your support would mean the world to us, and bring me closer to answers and healing.
