Hi, my name is Nikola Kolev and my brother Marty Kolev was diagnosed with functional neurological disorder. Don’t let that diagnosis trick you, he is not functioning or able to thrive. He is currently at Seattle Children’s hospital. He was admitted not once but twice and is currently staying here full time and is having active tremors, chills and is shaking uncontrollably at times with severe headache and body pain, described as level 15 in pain by his own words. He has been here currently a week. He has become very depressed and is starting to lose faith and hope in the medical system as the doctors gave him a throwaway diagnosis of functional neurological disorder with no treatment path. In the mean time he can’t walk and needs a wheelchair to get around. He is shaking uncontrollably in bed and is groaning loudly in pain while all we can do is sit and watch by his bedside. We want to find a better hospital for him but we need the funds to find him the best source of treatment for him and move him to doctors who are actually knowledgeable and have the resources needed and skills to work on my brother and help him get a full recovery. My mom herself almost collapsed August 25th from the stress and pain and she landed herself in the Emergency room at UW hospital and she couldn’t walk without my help and I had to help her walk so she wouldn’t fall down and injure herself. She is really stressed and under a lot of stress from my brother and can’t work because of her medical condition and we need all the support we can get to help my brother and my mother and I am by their side whenever they need me and can’t help too much financially as I am only 22. Thank you for everyone. I hope to god we will find a way out of this and my family will recover because I love them dearly and I feel exhausted but still hopeful that our prayers will be answered with a blessing. God bless
