Urgent Support for Neuropathic Therapy at Loma Linda

Hi to all of my friends and family and Merry Christmas:) I started this GoFundMe because I would like to start a program at Loma Linda in neuropathic therapy. I’m typically a pretty active person, anybody that knows me, knows I have a lot of energy and that I LOVE my business San Diego Chocolate Fountains “sandiego chocolatefountains.com”, and that I’m constantly going going. Between the business and all of my 1 million hobbies, I’ve always got something going. Last year I developed this weird piriformis muscle problem that has gotten worse over time and become very painful and now debilitating. I’ve not been able to walk since October 2nd. I’ve had many many MRIs studies and doctor visits and no one seems to know what the problem is because I’m otherwise very healthy. Right now I’m in the hospital after being taken to the ER by ambulance.When paramedics arrived I was in screaming pain and had to be given fentanyl just to get down the four steps of my house. I’ve been in the ER so much this last year, I know some of the nurses my first name. It’s been a hard 2024 to say the least. Not working has been very difficult and dealing with this mystery Illness has been a nightmare. What I do know for sure is that “every storm runs out of rain“. I know this will pass. I just have to figure out how to fix it. I’ve done a ton of research on what’s happening, laying on your back for three months gives you tons and tons of time to consult with “Dr. Google“. Because of my symptoms, I’m inclined to believe that I have nerve damage, sciatic nerve damage that’s causing my muscles to atrophy along with a lot of numbness and burning. The inpatient hospitalist physician here at Kaiser agrees with me, and believes that neuropathic therapy will be a good path. Unfortunately, it’s not covered by my Kaiser insurance, so I’m trying to raise the funds to go through the Neuropathic Therapy program at Loma Linda. I’m hoping for the best because I want so badly to get my life back. I want to get back to all the things I love, swimming being at the top of my list. Thanks for reading my story and if you’d like to help great:) If it’s not a good idea for you right now it’s totally ok:) I’m just grateful that you cared enough to take the time to read this:) Thanks so very, very much and happy New Year to you!
