Help Tracy's Battle with EoE and Crohn’s Disease
Donation protected
As many of you know I have been battling Crohn’s for 20 years.
Unfortunately now I am also suffering from EoE in my esophagus causing me to throw up multiple times a day. I was misdiagnosed early on and it has taken me a long time to finally figure out what was wrong. I have heard from many friends going through the same frustrating process, please do not give up! A year ago, my condition was manageable , but because I was misdiagnosed repeatedly my condition is unbearable now.
The acid is eroding the mucosa in my stomach and I now I also have diverticula (lesions) in my colon. Last Wednesday I had my esophagus stretched, because I have been choking on everything and have been put on Proton Pump Inhibitors. I also had biopsies of my esophagus, stomach and colon, which hopefully will give us some insight.
So at this time, I am asking for immediate assistance to help with my medical bills and our families living expenses. I am self employed and I haven’t been able to get disability yet.
So I would appreciate any assistance that could help keep our family afloat for the next few months as I navigate all of my doctors appointments and procedures. We have gone through our savings so any amount would help.
Thank you so much for all of the texts and phone calls of support, I really appreciate it
And for all of my friends with the same issues with your throat closing, please push for cat scans and an endoscope. There is light at the end of the tunnel
