Insulin, Doctor, and Life help for Landon
Donation protected
About Me:
Hi, I'm Landon Johnson. I grew up in Hartsville for most of my life. I went to high school in Mt. Juliet. I honestly wanted to be a police officer when I was older. But life took a different turn medically. When I was in middle school, I got a genetic blood disorder from my grandma called ITP. The when entering into the freshman year of high school, I got type one diabetes. Taking care of my blood sugar and taking shots is my life. It has been for a long time. In 2015 I got a stomach disorder from diabetic nerve damage called Gastroparesis. Since then it's been a constant battle . I've been hospitalized over 10 times this year for weeks at a time.
Gastroparesis: This disorder has been the bane of my existence. I throw up food all the time. I can hardly keep things down without nausea medicine and insulin to keep my blood sugar in check. Gaatroparesis is a disease that I wouldn't wish on anyone. It has caused me more issues than I've ever had. Even My teeth are falling out because I don't have insurance for dental, and I always throw up. Daily at some point if not all day. So I can't keep up.
My Issue:
I don't have insurance, and I haven't for over a year. I'm on my Last vial of Lantus insulin, which is the one I have to take daily.
That's half a vial left. I've been taking less each day to try and ration it to make it last, but I dont have much more to stretch, and I've already been in the hospital for so long this year, I don't want to go back when I could fix it myself with my medicine.
I'm rotating in and out of the hospital without the proper medications. Causing me to build up massive amounts of medical debt, and without insurance I can't stop this cycle. I can't go to the doctor. I can't ask them for more insulin. I can't go to the dentist to fix my teeth that have been ravaged by the constant vomitting. I don't have transportation to get to any of these places nor do I have the funds to be seen by even the charity discounted doctors in the area. $25 and $50 is a lot for an appointment when you have to
1. Get there with no car
2. Buy all of My needles, test strips, alcohol preps, every medicine full price at the from the pharmacy. Not to mention keeping myself fed and the electricity on when I cant work as much as I need to.
What I would spend it on:
Doctors appointments
Transportation to and from
Keeping my lights on until I get to the doctor and stop being sick to the point where I can't bear it.
Included here are some of the medical bills. I have so many, I could never post them all. I'm at over $50,000 now guaranteed.
Even if you can't help finacially, please share this to get the word out. Anything at all would help and id be glad to show everyone exactly what I spend the money on. I'm just trying to survive. I want to get out of this hole and make a big difference in the world. I'm going to pay forward every way that I am helped once I am no longer struggling and sick. Thank you!
