<div>Almost six years ago, my life completely changed when I developed Long Covid. What started as “just trying to recover” turned into a never-ending cycle of new symptoms, tests, and diagnoses. Since then, I’ve been fighting through severe fatigue, constant pain, headaches, and brain fog.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the years I’ve been diagnosed with ME/CFS, POTS, Orthostatic Hypotension, MCAS, mold toxicity, H. Pylori, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Accomodative Infacility, microclots in my lungs, PVCs, Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm, degenerative disc disease... honestly, that’s just a portion of everything I’ve dealt with. Every system in my body has been affected, and each small step forward seems to come with new challenges.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve done everything I can to keep going. I even started a small virtual assistant business so I could work from home and still contribute, even when my health wouldn’t allow for a traditional job. But the reality is that the medical costs not covered by insurance have become too much for me to handle alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, I’ve been trying to get additional testing to satisfy the SSDI judge and prove how sick I really am. I finally found a doctor who is willing to look at the whole picture of my health and do the kinds of tests most doctors won’t even consider. Unfortunately, she’s out of network, and I’ve reached a point where I can’t continue her treatment plans or necessary testing without help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Here’s what your support would help cover</strong> (*means I'm pursuing reimbursement from my insurance but don't know for sure if they'll cover it or not):
</div>
<div>• $1,700.00 *GI Mapping, Dutch Test, Mold Toxicity, and other labs
</div>
<div>• $710.76 *Low-Dose Naltrexone (known to help energy levels in Long Covid
</div>
<div>• $217.04 *NAD+ Infusion
</div>
<div>• $2,258.00 *Balance owed to OSU Medical Center for previous services
</div>
<div>• $1,000.00 OSU balance not covered by insurance
</div>
<div>• $1,052.00 12 months of doctor’s fees
</div>
<div>• $498.31 Mold detox treatment
</div>
<div>• $210.00 12 months of maintenance chiropractic treatment
</div>
<div>• $1080.00 12 months of maintenance massage
</div>
<div>• $4,092.00 insurance premiums
</div>
<div>• $1,000.00 dermatologist not covered by insurance (may be less)
</div>
<div>• TBD - Follow-up labs that may or may not be covered by insurance
</div>
<div>• TBD - NAD+ home injections
</div>
<div>• TBD - MCAS testing to confirm diagnosis for SSDI. My doctors are certain I have it - it’s a known co-condition with Long COVID - but the judge wants concrete proof.
</div>
<div>• TBD - Genetic testing that’s been recommended several times but keeps getting pushed aside because of cost
</div>
<div><strong>Total: $13,818.51</strong>
</div>
<div>*$4,885.80 may be reimbursed by insurance - waiting to hear back
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every bit of help means I can keep moving forward with treatment, regain my strength, and get closer to living again instead of just surviving. Whether it’s a donation, a share, or even a kind word, your support truly makes a difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for helping me hold onto hope that recovery is still possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>❤️ Carrie
