I'll keep this brief as I share this private and personal issue I have been dealing with. Over the past five months, I've been struggling with my health. In March, I experienced a severe adverse reaction to a medication I had been taking for approximately four months. The reaction left me nearly unresponsive on my kitchen floor. My roommate found me and called 911, and I was taken to the ER. At the time, it didn't occur to me that the medicine may have been the cause of the episode, so the doctors attributed it to exhaustion and dehydration.
However, over the next few weeks, I began experiencing concerning symptoms on an almost daily basis – fainting spells, chest pains, extreme fatigue, and mood swings. On top of all of this, I was having panic attacks and DPDR. I had to quit one of my two jobs, and all I could do in my off time was sleep. This lasted for the next two months until I was finally able to see a doctor.
Labs revealed high CO2 levels in my blood, possible hemolytic anemia, and signs of infection. My guess is that most of this was drug-induced since the symptoms have only progressed since March. There has not been a concrete diagnosis yet, but it's certain that blood infusions will be necessary to get me to baseline. These past five months have been some of the worse of my life with three emergency room visits, three urgent care appointments, and monthly blood work since June.
The costs of medical care and necessary treatments have become out of my reach. So now I am hoping to crowdsource $3,000 to cover debts and future treatments including the blood infusion(s) that I am hoping to get as soon as possible.
Thank You deeply, I appreciate any help ~
