Hey y’all, I’m Ally. I am raising money for medical bills and for overdue bills since I’ve been paying more medical bills. I’ve also been unable to work my part time hours due to recent flares. I have chronic migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, functional neurological disorder, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, fibromyalgia, and POTS with dystautonomia. These are my big 6, although I have a page long list of diagnoses. In July of 2024 I started having non-epileptic seizures. We had to do a ton of test and specialty doctor’s appointments- which I have insurance but have still have had to pay upfront and out of pocket for, in the thousands of dollars at this time. In Jan, I was diagnosed with FND and this is where most of my seizures are coming from. I started treatment for FND recently and go weekly. This all adds up. With all of my health issues, I am unable to work FT and have been working PT for the majority of the last decade. This makes it increasingly hard to save up financially. And health insurance is expensive!! (Also paid out of pocket).
This last 3 months have been increasingly worse on my health. I’m barely making my PT hours and when I do, I’m unable to leave bed on my days off. I can’t stop working to try to get disability, as in my situation it could take 4 to 6+ years to get approved and maybe not even then. In my state there is no disability that allows PT working hours either, and I would like to continue working if I can or I will go crazy lol, at least while I’m still able to do a little. This effects everything in my life and only working and resting is so detrimental to my emotional and mental health, which in turn makes some of the physical health issues worse. Its a rough cycle. I need to have a life, an ability to spend time with those I love, an ability to do things I enjoy, and to help take care of my home. Right now I’m unable to do so. Plus with summer here and the heat on the horizon, my health may get worse. Heat is a huge trigger for multiple of my health issues and I’m terrified to be bed bound again.
Raising this money with help go to my medical expenses, gas, medical equipment that I desperately need, and to bills that are behind related to medical expenses. It may also allow me to take some time off and not have to worry about bills during a break. Any bit helps and is greatly appreciated. I know it’s not easy on anyone financially right now, so don’t help if you are unable. Truly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for even looking at this.
