Manya's medical & work leave needs
Donation protected
Hello everyone...
I'm Manya, who, if you see this, I feel like you know. I NEVER in my life thought I would have to ask for help, from so many loving people in my life. But I am now. I am not a secret keeper kind of person. I learned from so many of you, not to be.butto ask for prayers, and help, and strengthening, and encouragement, and I just have to admit I need it now. I have not worked in 4 weeks. And I'm not sure how much longer I can't work. If you don't know, I'm a phlebotomist (a person who draws blood in a lab) and I have been diagnosed finally, with fibromyalgia with signs of peripheral neuropathy. Which is kinda crazy because it's a very weird constant pain from the burning sensation and tingling and numbness with muscle weakness it causes. Making it hard to walk, for one. And the sensitivity in my hands is the worst so I can't work at all. I am just trying to keep this short and ask for help at the same time. I have a few opportunities for treatment. I, of course, can and will continue with massage therapy. Buts it's not covered. And there is acupuncture I will try when they call. Also probably not covered. And the one that is most promising but still not guaranteed is stim cell regeneration, which could cost from $11,000- $8,000. Per treatment. One may work, but but more have been done before. I'm just scared and in pain. I have been on my own for just over 10 years now, and my family and friends are more than loving and caring and helpful. But this is alot more than ever expected. So please help if you can. My heart is so full right now, knowing there are so many brothers and sisters out there willing to help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart fully and truly.
