Support Healing Journey with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

I could use some help with some medical issues, you kind folks. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. The path to my diagnosis was expensive, time-consuming, and had me feeling hopeless.

I lost a good job, insurance, and the ability to operate my business. Chronic pain and fatigue have been present since the age of 4. That's the earliest I can remember anyway.

My healthcare needs have been a mix of osteopathic manipulation, ortho-bionomy, cranial sacral work, massage therapy, physical training, Pilates, acupuncture, and chiropractic. Unfortunately, none of this is very cheap.

My body is changing very fast right now. So many dysfunctions, subluxations, and pulled tendons have been corrected in a short period of time. I'm having nerves “wake up” and normal function is returning to some parts of my body. My body is in a state of healing and that takes a lot of time and energy. Some changes get worse before they get better. These changes have exploited weaknesses and have caused a knee injury a few weeks ago. I've been using a cane for the last week and I can't use stairs very well. I'll be seeing a specialist on Oct. 30th. At the very least, I will need some intense physical therapy. Once this knee is taken care of, I feel that I will be “over the hump” on my path of healing… which is something I thought I would never be lucky enough to say.

This 4k covers most of my monthly bills and medical bills through the next 38 days… not including the knee specialist, possible surgery, or rehabilitation services.
