Hello, our mom has been suffering with autoimmune diseases for over 5 years now. Recently, on top of Lupus, Sjogren’s, and RA, she developed small fiber neuropathy. Let me tell you, she wouldn’t wish SFN on her worst enemy! It started at her feet and progressed to her scalp, so now the pain is body wide. It involves constant pinching, burning, vibration and sensation like bugs crawling all over. Additionally, this condition involves her having autonomic sensory issues. This causes her to get bone chills all the time, have digestive issues and severe brain fog. She has spent thousands of dollars trying to find medical help to heal this condition, to no avail. All this while working a physical job taking care of people in the health care field. She is a physical therapist assistant. Which means shes on her feet 8 hours a day, in agony. She is a single woman with 2 adult kids. No one is helping her with her medical bills. She has been researching and trying to find help with this condition. She has found mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This therapy does many things. But for her condition it decreases inflammation and has a healing action on her nerves. She has had 3 sessions so far at a local clinic, which she has found helpful. It has given her hope that there may be relief from this painful condition. But it’s very expensive and not covered by insurance.
The way mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy works is to use it every day for many daily sessions. Doing so would be incredibly expensive paying the per session fees at the clinic she has been going to. So, she is looking into purchasing a unit for home, as it would make more sense financially. But of course, this cost is way out of her budget.
If you could please help fund this with us, it would be so incredibly appreciated! Her goal is to be able to continue to work and help people. Otherwise, she will be forced to go out on disability ☹️. Thank you so much for any financial help you can give.
