Help Everett Rebuild From Sepsis

This is the story of a weird online comedy pup who is trying to get their life together after an extremely scary visit to the emergency room.

What's up gamers, my online name is Everett, Evs for short, furry name Archie, legal name that I feel gross about in profile so if you use that name you better be my mom or my five year old niece, and I am genuinely, really sorry that it's come to this.

Recently, I moved from the East Coast to the very debatable Midwest (about as east in the Midwest as most people are willing to go, I think), and it was a very big change for me. On top of the cultural shift, while I had friends in Pittsburgh, I didn't really have the health resources I needed here to be able to live my life.

I was able to get a job, get involved with the community here, have a great time, and really set roots down in an exciting way, but I faced a lot of trouble with getting into the healthcare system here. I did my best! And I was seeing doctors! But unfortunately, a couple of health situations happened over the past four or five months that have put an absolute stop to my ability to be able to live. One I am, not super at liberty to talk about because there was hella malpractice and we'll let the courts sort that out lmaoooooo, but the other one I'm more at will to talk about.

On the early morning of April 24th, 2025, I woke up from sleep that started ninety minutes prior gasping for air and unable to stand up. The room was spinning, my chest hurt, I felt like I was going to throw up, and my vision was clouded. I very calmly went to the emergency room, and was provided with treatment by the amazing staff there-- They were able to do imaging, scans, ultrasounds, the works, in order to determine what was going on, and intervened in a way that saved my life. As of a couple of hours ago, they determined I was dealing with a non-specific auto-immune issue that was causing lymphocytosis and basophilia, two white blood cell production issues in the body that causes an over-abundance of cells that fight foreign pathogens in the body. There's a lot of reasons why it could be, but their concerns weren't about me being fat or needing to lose weight, thank god, but that there was something wrong within my system that has probably been that way for a while and I'm only just starting to catch as my body begins to malfunction from it. Sometimes this is seen in people with cancer, which I know I am at risk of because of a chondrosarcoma I caught in my hand. Sometimes it's an issue of "You need more sleep, your sleep apnea needs to get treated", which, yeah lmao, but we just don't know at this point what exactly is causing it. What my care team all unanimously agreed on, however, is that I need to slow down and take time to allow my body to recover, and start investing in myself from a health perspective.

I've come to an agreement with my current employer that I will be graciously resigning, as much as they'll miss me, so that I can take time to fight whatever is going on, as I've been advised I am just not in a place right now where I should be working or super busy with things, and focusing on my health. It could take up to a year to understand everything going on, come up with a treatment plan, and enact it so that I return to great health, but I'm going to be extremely busy trying to figure it out.

In donating to this GoFundMe, you are contributing to a $69,420 goal that I have to get back on track, which I rationalize as follows:

You are under no obligation to share, and you are under no obligation to donate. However, I am hoping that I will be able to get it together, and get my life going. I know that I've done my best to give a lot to others, and I'm under no impression I'm owed anything back, but... I hope that whatever I've put into the universe, I'm able to cash in on. If I've been a shitty weirdo, then that's chill and I will figure out a way to take care of it like I always do, but I'm hoping that if you're reading this, you want to invest in me because I care about you and want to invest in you too.

Love you guys. Be safe and don't skip any doctor's appointments, I know that shit is expensive, but you need to maintain yourself right now.
