Help Diagnose Me
Hey I'm very ill right now, so I can't work and many of my symptoms straight up confuse my doctors.
I haven't been able to be a reliable employee of Planet Dolan for a few months now and for the past two months I've barely been able to work at all.
Working through the public health system isn't an option right now (too slow) so I need to go private.
Of course since I'm an adult I also have bills to pay and a stomach to feed.
I've moved back in with my mother, but she's still injured from a car accident that happened almost a year ago (on the way to visit me for my birthday haha I'm not cursed). She's just now getting back to work, but she mostly relies on government support.
The amount of money that I've set covers the bare minimum I need to get by without racking up even more debt, it also pays for two visits to a specialist.
I've come back positive for having glandular fever at some point in my life but I don't know when so it may be chronic fatigue syndrome. But I don't know how recent it is so a lot of bed rest was reccomended for at least two months.
But that doesn't explain away my many other symptoms (including joint pain, strange eyesight problems, migranes, stroke-like symptoms and many more)
I've been tested for Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteo Arthritis and many other diseases. All negative, but they were all plausible outcomes.
My bad health and struggles with PTSD have forced me to give up on a lot. I used to want to be an artist, but I've lost too many fine motor skills and my eyesight is too bad to even dream of a reliable living doing art. Tbh I may have to give it up as a hobby again, I just don't know.
I've got actual PTSD btw (diagnosed and everything), from surviving the Black Saturday bush fires.
It's pretty bad lately, pretty much any time I go to do something productive my brain just straight up switches off. Only reason I have the mental capacity to write this out is the overwhelming support that I got when I came out of the closet as trans and bi.
And also many, many anxiety fueled complete rewrites.
I also stopped male to female hormone treatments for fear of losing even more bone density. And also general anxiety didn't help at all.
I was "diagnosed" as trans too, which wasn't an easy task. But that's off topic.
I hate that I even have to ask for help, but it's either ask here, rack up more debt, or ask other people to go into more debt for me, or ask my also ill grandparents. One of which beat my mother, the other has alzheimers, so if I can get by without asking them for help that would be good.
In the unlikely case I get past my goal I'll spend that money on my health first, debt second, replacing broken/missing belongings third and in the impossible outcome of all of those getting funded I'll put money aside to go to America so I can finally see my soul mate in person.
If I'm well enough of course. If the doctors diagnose me with some horrible and permanent illness I won't be able to go back to work and will instead go on disability pension. I don't really like thinking about this possibility.
Thank you so much for even reading this, I know it's pretty rambly, but I've spent over a week and many complete rewrites getting it to be even this legible and concise.
If anyone wants to know more detais I'll happily answer them, it's the least I can do.
For if you wanna do it through paypal.
Thanks again.
