Hello, my name is Shawn, and I'm 23 years old and suffer from debilitating chronic migraines and cluster headaches, insomnia in addition to a gastrointestinal problem. I experienced the headache/migraine problems since I was 12 and the gastrointestinal issue since I was 15. I have tried dozens of medications and treatments for my conditions. Still, the only real time I had any success with a prescription, it caused me to get rid of my memory for around four days. I'm desperate to locate a powerful approach to treatment that will hopefully allow me to live a healthy life.
The target with this campaign is to boost enough money that I could move from New York to a house in Massachusetts. I must manage to seek new treatments for my condition, and where I live, there's a distinct lack of available resources. Moving to Massachusetts is the easiest way for me personally to find the help I need as I have family over there. My health conditions pose a substantial problem as because of them, I can't work an average job, and frequently I want my girlfriend home to help take care of me. So we don't have much money. And I don't have a constant work history. Therefore, Social Security Disabilities won't help me, and that also makes it more difficult to secure a mortgage.
So I'm embracing the internet and hoping you will find beautiful people out there willing to simply help me out. Ultimately as with most fundraising, the more money raised, the higher the opportunity of things exercising, so no matter what you can donate, I'd like you to know I appreciate it.
Currently, I've set the target at 60K, which is the lowest amount I can raise to make this move.
What It's Like For Me:
It's 3.27 am the origin of my insomnia is back; it comes virtually every night now, gripping me and shaking me awake. It is a migraine; I'm trapped; I've in which to stay bed because the world is spinning and tilting and vibrating, nausea has gripped me full force, and I'm trying to help keep down ondansetron. (powerful anti-nausea medication prescribed to chemotherapy patients) Just good enough to deter me from vomiting. I bury my head right into a black colored pillow keeping my eyes open but staring in to the darkness of it, trying to ignore intense vertigo. I try to stay still, I count. The seconds, tick, tick, tick. Each Help Me Move So I Can Get Treatment drags more than the last as the minutes slowly pile up. I tilt the trash can I keep alongside my bed just in case. Five full minutes later, the trash can comes in handy. I wish, I dream of sleep just so I will disregard the severe pain I am experiencing, the uncontrollable dizziness. Hours pass before I get a slight reprieve, but I know It won't be very long. I force myself to drink some Gatorade. Within ten minutes I'm clutching my stomach and breathing heavily, I haven't had food or drink in hours, and my stomach can't handle it. I experience searing pain in my own stomach as I become a bit more nauseous than before. I hope this pain doesn't last more compared to a hour, and I pray that I'll get several hours where I can be quite a person before something acts up.
Now I wrote this little blurb to illustrate what an attack can look like for me, and I used it to spell out my conditions. My neurologist says that for me, it's less like cluster headaches where you receive a lot of attacks back once again to back for shorter durations and more like clusters of migraines. In which I'll have an attack, Help Me Move So I Can Get Treatment and then I'll get some slack for a couple of hours, and then ill have another migraine all day and hours.
The History of My Conditions:
I'd like to begin talking briefly about several factors that may be a contributor to why my conditions are so severe. When I was just a baby, I was adopted. I was removed from my biological mother because while she was pregnant with me, she was addicted to substances like cocaine, alcohol, cigarettes, and the like. I was created hooked on various drugs/alcohol, and almost certainly affected my development.
My campaign gets suspended if I try to tell my whole story so when you yourself have any questions feel free to ask.
I've been working on this for two weeks and will soon be adding to the as my conditions allow, please check Help Me Move So I Can Get Treatment back frequently for updates.
