Help Elce Manage Their Pain
Donation protected
My name is Elce, i've been dealing with debilitating chronic pain from Fibromyalgia, small fiber neuropathy, brain degeneration and a multitude of spinal injuries for 10 years and have struggled the find means of affording consistent pain management treatment with my current income.
I work full time and it leaves me with enough money to pay for rent, food, my bills and possibly one or two acupuncture treatments if i'm lucky. Working full time is wearing heavily on my body and causing even more pain effecting my quality of life drastically. I lay down virtually every second that i'm not @ my job and never seem to recover from over exerting myself. This effects my social life and relationships and in turn my desire to live.
I'm realizing that in order to get the pain management I require to continue living without everyday being a battle I need financial assistance so i'm reaching out to my community for help.
The majority of my pain stems from my connective tissue and ligaments being ROCK hard and manual therapies have been the most successful in softening my body and helping me to regain mobility.
Here is a list of the treatments that help me that i'd like to be able to receive regularly and their costs:
Rolfing: $180 (the most helpful out of all the available treatments)
Myofascial Release: $150
Deep Tissue Massage: $120
Acupuncture: $40
Co Pay's for western doctors: $80-$200 a month
Car's to treatments when my mobility is low $100 a month
I'm currently working towards being able to receive Rolfing weekly for 12 weeks as I've already noticed a difference in how far my fingers can uncurl/my posture from just one session.
I put the costs of other treatments above but these things wont be as regular as Rolfing - maybe monthly if possible.
The financial goal on this fundraiser may change - since I am chronically ill my treatment doesn't really have an end date, and there is always more work to be done for my body.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, please share this with your friends and family and circulate it on your social media.
