Hello, my name is Angel and I am 35. I have had chronic illness since I was 14. I conquered things and was able to become an RN, but then my body developed even more issues. I have had P.O.T.S. since 2004. Migraines, immunocompromised (I don't make enough IgG to fight off infections. So all the plasma people donate goes to people like me to get infusions.) I also have to take a shot twice a month called Dupixent for nasal polyps, chronic sinusitis, and asthma. Gastroparesis and so much more. Not to mention the daily medications I am on to manage symptoms. I most likely have an autoimmune disease as well, but nothing specifically diagnosed. I am a mom of a silly, bright 5-year-old. I unfortunately have not had luck keeping a job because my illnesses are so unpredictable and have flare-ups, and I do not qualify for disability :( . My boyfriend/daughter's father is the sole provider for our family. However, he was laid off recently and our finances are really struggling from that.

But the main thing is my doctors want me to try some new things to help my different conditions. However, they are not covered by insurance and are costly. I have never asked for help or money since I have had these struggles. But getting anything could potentially help my overall health improve and be a better mom, girlfriend, daughter, friend, etc.

We would truly appreciate any donation or sharing of this. I'm not sure if I'm saying these things right, or doing this right, but I am desperate to find a way to function even a little better with my days and my daughter's childhood.

We know times are tough for all of us right now, so anything helps especially sharing if you can . We will be so grateful for any help!
