Liz Staats Medical Fund

While at work one day I experienced a pain so bad I could barely move. At the ER they found that a cyst had ruptured causing internal bleeding. While finding that they also found another large cyst that was at risk for rupturing. I underwent surgery to remove it where they found the worst case of endometriosis the surgeon had seen in his 40 year career. My girl bits were fused to my bladder and intestines, and my tubes were in practical knots meaning I'd never be able to have children naturally.

One hard decision later and a hysterectomy was performed and while I am no longer at risk for pain or cysts it came at a huge medical cost. Insurance wasn't enough, getting an itemized bill to reduce costs wasn't enough. financial assistance was denied. Months of verbal harassment from the hospitals later I'm asking for help here.

As if that wasn't enough I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The stress of everything has caused great anxiety and depression, to the point that I'm on multiple medicines to help cope, costing upwards of $60 a month.

So every little bit helps as I try to keep my life in order while juggling such a huge amount over my head.

Thank you to anyone who can donate. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers as well.
