Support Sarah's Battle with Chronic Illness

Donation protected
Hi everyone, I am Sarah, and I need your assistance if you’re in a position to either share this far and wide or provide a monetary donation. I have been experiencing some major and chronic health conditions that are getting worse. I started off with Hypothyroidism and a Chronic Migraine Disorder that I was getting under control with the help of my PCP and medical specialists. Then I started experiencing pretty intense gastrointestinal pain and other symptoms to the point where I couldn’t eat for a couple of weeks. After an already scheduled surgery for something else, my surgeon found skin adhesions blocking a bowel valve. The removal of the adhesions stopped the acute symptoms for a couple of weeks, but they started again… so now I have more medical tests scheduled. Along with all of these tests, my medical symptoms have increased to extreme fatigue, dizziness, hair loss, and body pain. My newest diagnosis is bradycardia, which means my heart is beating lower than normal, and I am scheduled to see a cardiologist soon. I am mentally and physically exhausted and it feels like I have been chasing some big mysterious autoimmune disease diagnosis. I have exhausted my PTO time at work and my current paycheck was almost nonexistent. I also have medical debt from procedures, copayments, and medications. I am not sure what lies ahead with these upcoming medical appointments, but I am already extremely grateful for you taking the time to read this and possibly helping me out.

All the best,
Sarah
