Hi, my name is Michael. If you found this page you likely already know me. Over the last month, some medical issues that I had been dealing with decided to get progressively worse. Needless to say, it landed me in the hospital this morning. I have been dealing with muscle weakness in my legs and arms that have gotten worse over time and as of late I have even had a hard time walking. Originally I thought it was symptoms related to rhabdomyolysis. The blood tests that they ran concluded that my levels were normal and that rhabdo typically resolves in a few weeks. Because the doctor couldn't explain the weakness he ran a CT on my lower lumbar to see if I might have had a tumor near the spine causing nerve problems. What came back was a 9mm kidney stone lodged in the urinary tract. It is so large that it will need medical intervention to remove. This whole ordeal has put me out of sorts. I can barely walk, I can't work, my support system is next to zero(my mother passed away young and my father has dementia). I never ask people for money, but now I'm in such a tough position the only thing I can do is ask for help. Anyone that is willing to donate, it helps a lot.
