Hospital bills for my colitis

Donation protected
I’ve had colitis for over two years now and my life has never been the same.  I’m having a relapse right now and this time I must take a different approach.  The first time I had colitis I went down to 96 pounds and practically died and was luckily resuscitated by a shot of Cortizone. I went on steroids and a medicine called messalamine.  It worked to take most of the pain away, but I still had issues running back-and-forth from the bathroom all day long. Right now I’m having a relapse and it’s gotten really bad. With this disease I get anemia and because of that I have shortness of breath.  I haven’t walked much and because of this and I’m atrophying. I’m keeping my weight higher, because I’m eating more this time.  I’m in a lot of pain.  Unfortunately I have to wait until January 1 to get help because that’s when my new medical insurance kicks in. This time I want to solve the problem completely with either doing surgery or taking Biologics which are very pricey.  Whichever method I go the costs are going to be extraordinary as my medical insurance only covers 25% of it. Gofundme will cover everything no matter if I choose surgery or Biologics for a year. They both come out to about the same cost.  I’ve talk to people with this disease and they said that these are the only two things that actually worked for them.  I want to live a normal life and not have to be dependent on the bathroom every five minutes and at this point I have to wear a diaper because I can’t control it well.  I’m counting down the days to January 1 so they can fix me up and then after that I will be either going on Biologics or doing surgery. This go fund me will take care of all of these fees. Thank you for your consideration
