Hi everyone. I hate asking for help because so many of you donated after the fire but I dont know what else to do right now.
For those who dont know- I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in February. Ive been fighting with my insurance to cover the treatments and meds that I need. Ive spent several hundred already on appts and an MRI. I was finally able to get my insurance to approve a steroid infusion. Unfortunately I got a bill for that for $450 AFTER insurance and Im struggling with that.
I also just went to the dentist, I had to get 4 fillings of which I was expecting a $120 copay but my insurance didnt cover as much as I thought. I paid $520 today for all 4 fillings. The doctor also told me I need to get a crown on one of my teeth. They gave me a quote of $1445 AFTER insurance.
I lost it and starting crying uncontrollably, it was very embarrassing
Anyway thats the one my doctor wants me to get but they also have one for half that, at $750. Either way I CANNOT afford these bills.
I have to pay almost $1k in taxes next month as well. Its my responsibility to pay that so I wont be asking for any help towards that but it will wipe out most of my bank account. I dont even have enough on my credit card to cover the dental bills.
Im also unable to take on much more work, as much as I wish I could earn every penny. I will do what I can.
I am reluctantly asking for help with these bills.
I've made a gofundme

If you dont like GFM I also have my ko-fi that I will add any donations to the total on the GFM

Other than the looming bills I'm feeling okay. I took my first dose of immunosuppressants for my MS last night. I have been very afraid of how the side effects would hit me but I was totally fine! I just took my morning dose and still fine. I have a lot of hope that I can keep working as normal! I do have to double the dosage starting next monday so I will see if that is still okay.
If I'm still doing alright I'll be doing a big ych sale! Thank you everyone for your kind words and patience with me, and for donating or sharing my story.

I'm sorry that you have to go through this. Sending positive vibes as that is really the only thing I can do right now. I just want you to know I did read your journal, and care.

Yeah I wonder whats causing the jump in cases. It's not too bad for me either, just some leftover numbness from my last relapse, its more hurting my wallet and my mental health :(

If you'd like I can send you a little something on PayPal if that's okay with you Riley. I don't mind helping another friend in need and putting myself before others. It's what friends do. Note me if you wish to accept my offer. We can discuss details more there privately. Prayers and best wishes for you my friend. ā¤ļøā¤ļøšš
