Hi, my name is Alexis and I am a 26 year old Lupus warrior. I was diagnosed with Lupus in 2014 only months after I graduated high school. I graduated in May of 2013, enrolled in college in August and also got my first job at Chick-Fil-A. Within months I was promoted and things seemed to be going fine. In June 2014 I got so sick to the point where I was completely weak and in so much pain — all I was able to do was use the restroom and get back in bed. I finally decided to go to another hospital (before this, I kept going to Atlanta Medical and they kept diagnosing me with low or high potassium and sending me home.) Getting this second opinion changed my life.
Here we are almost 7 years later and I have developed stage 4 Kidney Nephritis. Well in 2020 I felt great, so I applied for a job in December (in which I got promoted to Assistant Supervisor within a month), however, now that I'm currently writing from a hospital bed in ICU, I’m realizing that with the condition I’m in I have to leave this job as well.
I'm really getting out of my comfort zone asking for help, especially from strangers but if I can slow down the progression of my disease I need to. I've tried every drug my doctors have to offer. Today the Doctors told me "It is inevitable that your kidneys are going to fail. We’ve tried everything and I’ve never seen a case like yours, where you aren’t responding to anything.
I have faith in The Most High that my body can return back to its proper function. I’m ready to try a holistic and vegan approach (i.e. Dr. Sebi alkaline diet) to try and rejuvenate my cells and restore my kidney function, but these types of lifestyle changes are so expensive to maintain. Due to the type of insurance I have and me not being able to work, my constant hospital & ER visits this lifestyle is simply unaffordable now.
Whatever you can donate is appreciated, even advice about what I can do to slow down the progression of my condition. I honestly don't have a monetary goal, I chose 1111 because of its meaning considering angel numbers. whatever I receive will be used to purchase a juicer and be consistent with holistic treatment. I’ve been in a flare for months now and don’t even feel like the doctors I’ve been seeing are doing all they can do. It's time for me to take my care in my own hands and with your help I can do that, and after I figure things out I can help someone else. I look forward to continuing to sharing my journey on social media as my peers encourage me to. Please send a prayer up for me; the more people that do so, the stronger the positive energy. Helping me fight this battle in the spiritual realm is the most important part. Thank you for reading.
