Please Help Support Angela's Health Battle

Donation protected

My name is Brian. I met my wife Angela 10 years ago, and remember her telling me, “before we get into dating, there may come a day I will be unable to walk and do things physically due to the many traumatic physical health issues I have”
I fell in love with Angela the day I met her. When she told me this I looked at her and said I’m not going anywhere. As the years have gone by I have witnessed first hand the health struggles Angela is going through, seeing the progression of her MS take over. Anyone who knows Angela, before her health issues progressed to where she is now, knows she is a very kind, loving, fun and spirited person. My wife has been to over 29 different doctors in the past two years, as the progression got so bad she was at a loss on what was wrong. I have sat with her at these doctor appointments, watching her crying in agony and despair. Listening to doctors dismissing her, and shuffling her around, sending her to Doctor, after Doctor after Doctor. Taking her to all the tests and all the MRIs and all the EEG’s and the PET test, watching her get picked and probed over and over again. Within this last year, Angela‘s health has debilitated her so much. Our last two doctor visits, the doctors finally diagnosed Angela, explaining to her and myself the condition in great detail, with kind words reassuring her that they were going to find the best help for her that they can. Explaining that her condition is not a curable condition and as the years come along her condition will progress with her age. She has Progressive MS, Fibromyalgia at its worst, in addition to Peripheral Neuropathy and Osteoarthritis.
Anyone out there that has these conditions knows what it feels like. I am seeing it with my own eyes, makes me realize the distress it causes on a person.
For me as the husband seeing this condition take over my wife makes me feel like there are days I can’t do enough to help her to relieve her pain. There are days where the flareups are so bad, that she can’t move, the body anches are so severe, her depression kicks in, with high anxiety, causing her to have major panic attacks, alongside migraines and body shakes. She has to use a walker on her really bad days and other days she when it’s not as bad she uses her walker or her cane and moves better and then there are the days that are called “good days”. When Angela has a good day her whole mentality and demeanor is incredible. I love Angela‘s good days, seeing her smile, laughing, and moving, working in her flower garden and even dancing, but she’ll overdo herself and pay for it the next day. It’s so painful to see the girl I married that loves to dance, sing, work in her flower garden, full of spirit and energy, diminish to this sadness, pain, and feeling as though her body is 90 years old.
With her health condition, she isn’t working like she used to and misses her job greatly and all the people. This has caused a serious amount of emotional pain for her, not being able to work the job that she loves so much. I watch her try her hardest to continue to work on her good days, ending the evening in extreme agony.
There are Medications that she needs that Insurance doesn’t cover and we can’t afford them alone out of pocket.
Angela no longer sleeps in the bed we have and I miss sleeping next to her so much. That is the reason I have created this go fund me page.
Angela needs a her Medications, special bed, one that supports her body much better than the one we have. With our finances now compromised since she doesn’t work like she used to, we can’t afford the bed that she needs. Angela does not know I have created this page because her pride is too big to ask for others for help, but I am asking for your help. I never thought that I would ask for help, but friends I am needing your help to help my wife.
I want to thank you all for reading my story, and if anyone does donate to help, I want to thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart.
These funds are being used to: Help get her Medications, and the right Orthopedic Bed to relive pressure and pain for Angela.
To get her the Doctor Recommended tools to use to help relive her pain.
