UPDATE: Thank for everyone’s kind words, medical suggestions, and gifts 🥹 I just woke up and will be writing down all your suggestions to ask the doctors and I’ll be taking down my gift app handles. I think there’s enough to cover some follow up Dr visits and I don’t people feeling stressed to donate if they don’t have the money. If anyone is also having menstruation related issues, definitely look through these comments and talk to your doctor about these suggestions (I know I will)!
I’ll keep everyone updated on what the doctors say and HOPEFULLY I can get some relief from what feels like a cursed uterus 🙏
MANY HUGS and I’ll be responding to everyone who donated individually throughout the day 🥹🫂
VULNERABILITY POST:
I think there's something very wrong with my uterus. Like VERY wrong. I've been trapped in my condo for the past 5 days because of the excruciating pain and nonstop nausea. This cycle hasn't even been one of my worst ones. I've been in so much pain that I've vomited while crying. I've bled THROUGH mattresses. Bleach and cleaning products are always running low in my residence. And the worst part is that I know I'm not the only person who has to experience this on a regular basis, who has normalized this.
NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.
I'm very grateful that I've been able to create income through my journalism and online presence because I literally could not work a 9-5. I'd run out of sick days in 2 months.
All this to say that, now that I'm settled in Thailand, I will be investing in my health and hoping to get a diagnosis and treatment. This, plus my Multiple Sclerosis treatments (technically, I have NMO but I have the same treatments and symptoms as MS so...yea...). It will be significantly less expensive than in the United States, but it could still throw a wrench in my finances if I have to run from doctor to doctor again while paying for everything out of pocket.
All this to say, LITERALLY NO PRESSURE, but if you could share a gift to my CashApp, PayPal, or Venmo, it would be much appreciated! Once again, no pressure if you can't. I know times are hard for a lot of people and I don't want to put anyone in a tough spot financially. My mom always said to ask for help and that the worst someone can say is "no" so I'm practicing.
My first appointment is on Monday and I'll be batching some content in the meantime so I can rest. I'll keep you all posted on how that goes. WISH ME LUCK (aka a clear diagnosis and treatment plan lol).
