Hi, my name is Beth, and I’m reaching out for help during one of the most difficult times in my life.

In the past year, everything has changed. After getting COVID, my health has rapidly declined. I’ve been experiencing a wide range of debilitating symptoms — chronic diarrhea, vomiting undigested food nearly every night, severe fatigue, joint pain, night sweats, vivid dreams, and frequent near-fainting episodes. I’ve lost a significant amount of weight and, most painfully, my quality of life.

I’ve seen multiple specialists through the NHS, but despite months of appointments and tests, I still have no answers. I’m no closer to understanding what’s happening to my body, and I’m starting to feel like I’m being left behind by a system that doesn’t know how to help me.

That’s why I’m turning to private care. I’ve found a specialist who may finally be able to give me the answers — and the help — I desperately need. But I can’t afford this on my own.

I'm asking for your support to help cover the cost of a private consultation with an amazing doctor whos based in York. Ive done plenty of research and I feel this is the only hope ive got of getting help.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for giving me a bit of hope when I need it most.

With all my heart,

Beth
