My journey to the Cleveland Clinic

Hey everybody I'm Tonya. I have a very extensive health history and the doctors here in indiana really have fallen short on what to do with my health continuing forward. I have at this moment just from reviewing medical documents 52 diagnoses. My appt is not until the 1st week of April. But that is going to set off a series of trips that need be taken to Cleveland. I may have to rent a small apt while they try to figure out what it is exactly that is attacking my body. I only recieve social security benefits and they take almost $400 out every month just for my Medicare. But Ohio does not participate w out-of state medicaid which will leave me Many Co pays due at time of visit or stay. I'm in need of help to get my vehicle the proper repairs it needs to get me back an forth safely. I will need help w hotel accommodations if that's what is recommended and fuel expenses to get back and forth. I can throw just a small list of things that are occurring w my body that we can't get under control.

1. Renal disease

2. Irritable bowel disease

3. Lymphocytic colitis

4. Auto immune disease (lupus bracket)

5. Connective tissue disease

6. Degenerative joint disease

7. Degenerative disc disease

8. Cataplexy narcolepsy (severe)

9. Esophageal dysphagia (swallowing disease)

10. Gastroparesis

11. Hypertension ( at current risk of heart attack)

12. Biatrial enlargement ( both right an left atriums of my heart are severely enlarged.)

13. Severe spinal canel stenosis

14. Pre diabetic (type 2 insulin dependent the rest of my life it my levels go any higher)

15. Acute pancreatitis

16. Deterioration to both SI joints

17. Complete atrophy of my paraspinal muscles.

18. I am in need of surgery on my neck C2-C3, C4-C5, C6-C7, C7-T1

19. I also need surgical repair of L5-S1

20. Osteoarthritis is eating at my entire body.

I Could keep going but I'm hoping that it paints a clearer picture to see why I so desperately need this. I have to much and to many hands in the pot here where I live that these Dr's don't no what to do.

I still have hope and I pray everyday. I pray to be at least some type of pain free. I literally have NO quality of life and I'd like to be able to see all my grandbabies grow an do amazing things. They need me here an I need them to keep me going. But I'm in need of help. My finances are not enough to cover all the expenses I'm about to get. I NEED THIS! IVE NEEDED THIS FOR YEARS. ITS FINALLY HERE AN ANY AT ALL JUST MIGHT MAKE FOR ME A BETTER LIVABLE LIFE. Any little bit will help. It will all add up and I might be given the opportunity to live a very much longer an healthier life once I'm in the hands of the right people. Cleavland is my last stop. If they can't figure me out then imma just ride it out. I have my faith. I have hope. I have alot left to do here on earth. So please even sharing this could make all the difference for me. So of u can't help that's perfectly OK. But u can help by sharing get it put out there for me. Help me get the chance of my life. Only taken 21 yrs of being sick to get here.
