Taylor Lykins: Medical Fund for MS

Hi.  For those of you who don't know me, my name is Taylor.  I was crazily diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 2 1/2 years ago at the age of 17 Yrs old.  I had no idea what MS was, let alone that the symptoms I had begun experiencing would point in that direction.  Like my friends at school, I had just earned the rigt to drive (yep, I passed the drivers license test LOL).  Unfortunately, that right was stripped away by  MS.  Becoming an independent young adult is what growing up is all about...not learning that I have a severe case of multiple  sclerosis.  Really? MS??  So, for the past 2 1/2 years, I have battled various symptoms that are related to multiple sclerosis, when what I had hope I would be doing is hoping to pursue a career in veterinary medicine at the University Of Illinois.  Having lived here all of my life, and having my dad and grandfather graduating from the U of I, I am so hoping I can do the same.  But, I need a stem cell transplant at Northwestern in Illinois by Dr Burt (an immunologist there who has done thousands of stem cell transplants) to deal with the MS first.  I have learned more than most kids by my age and have had more MRI's than the average adult.  At this point, my insurance provider (Health Alliance) has claimed they do not provide coverage for a much needed stem cell transplant.  Hmmm, they covered a girl in our area who had a stem cell transplant October 2014. She is currently off all MS medicines and has not experienced symptoms for months.  And, that is what I hope for. I need help raising the money for the procedure, plus the 3 week long hospitalization stay.  Yikes.  I am worrying about this instead of worrying about paying for college or studying.  I am a student at the U of I, but because of my symptoms, am currently on medical leave through disability services at the U of I.  I take 14 pills every day to be able to function (ugh, I used to not be able to even swallow one pill...now look at me go!) I also get monthly infusions of a medicine known as Tysabri.  Unfortunately, I will have to be off of this medicine for 3 months in order to get the stem cell transplant done.  My last infusion was done on July 15, 2015.  The clock is definitely ticking. I am so hoping to be able to raise the money my medical insrance is not able to provide.  So, I need your help.  This would mean so much to me...to my future.  I want to be free from taking so many medicine, just like my local friend through Multiple Sclerosis.  Many thanks in advance  :)
