Help Jilly Strasburg Live

Years ago a doctor did a surgery on me that led to some major complications. Some of which literally killed me multiple times, and doctors had to bring me back. Because of his lack of knowing how to do surgery, he was kicked out of the medical community just a few years after my surgery.

In the years to come my intestines slowly shut down. I couldn't eat anything, and I was literally starving to death. I'm 2017 I got down to 112lbs and I'm 5'9 so that was really thin for me. My new doctor was able to fix what was wrong, but the lasting effects from my initial surgery still haunt me today.

Each day I'm faced with horrific nausea 24/7. Dave and I have learned to sign because a lot of times it's so bad I can't speak. I also throw up every single day between 15-20x. I live in excruciating pain 24/7 as well. It's just a battle to stay on this planet.

The reason I'm asking for help is because of the permanent damage that has happened because of how much I throw up. I currently don't have any top molars on either side of my mouth. The acid from the vomit makes my teeth brittle and they break. Because of this, I can't chew which is a huge part of eating for me. I have to turn my food into mush with my teeth, or it gets stuck and I'm in horrible pain, and spend the rest of the day violently vomiting. It's such a horrific cycle. Long story short, I'm asking for your help with my teeth so I can eat again and not have to get a feeding tube which is the next step they're thinking. Either that, or I'll have to be on a pure liquid diet.

Dave and I would fix it in the heartbeat, but because of how many are missing, we just don't have the money. I have to get teeth surgery to remove the broken teeth, and then start the process of implants. It's so expensive and we just can't afford it. Because of this I'm asking for your help yet again. I've already dropped 18 lbs since my last 2 teeth broke. I just can't chew my food enough to get it inside me. It's so frustrating, and heartbreaking. It kills Dave and my family to see what I go through. It's insanely difficult to see a loved one suffer and know you can't help.

Well, there's my story. Thank you for taking the time to read it, and please share if you're so inclined. Thank you to each one of you for all you've done to help me continue to live. I'm so lucky for every single one of you. 

XOXO,
