Hi my name is Jennifer Lehl and and I to am a pdr technician of almost 10 years and I am 32 years old and have recently been diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis). This has been very hard news on me and my family who have been very supportive. I haven't been able to work so all the responsibility has relied on my amazing husband Michael Lehl who is now always in the road and trying to make ends meat. We have four beautiful children between the two of us who are Amanda 20, Rebekah 17, Jordan 16, and Rebecca 14. So as you can imagine this has been very hard on them too.
Over the last couple years we have been struggling with my health and it's been declining symptom after symptom. We have seen many doctors and specialist and been through so many tests. It has taken almost two years two figure out that I have Multiple Sclerosis. Many of these symptoms include muscle weakness and pain in back and legs blurred vision and or double vision, headaches, tingling, numbnes, and loss of balance in hands arms and legs. Muscle spasm and and restlessness in arms and legs. I have extreme fatigue, shaking, slurred speech or jumbled speech. Loss of thought or thought process. Dizziness and lightheaded. Falling alot, brain lesions and palsy symptoms and severe vitamin D difficient. Weight loss and gain forgetfullness and uncontrolled depression, mood and many more.
But with this disease there are many cost with medication and travel and doctor visits and loss of income with me not working. My medication varies from $1600.00 to $7000.00 a month and then travel with my doctor being almost two hours away. My insurance doesn't pay but 1/3 to 1/2 of my medicine and none of the travel and doctor. I have not received all of bills yet and already cannot afford most of them. I have to have a nurse come to my home and give me a lessons on how to do my injections witch will not be covered as well. As of March 1st we will need a new insurance company and will struggle to find one that will cover me that we can afford with this disease. We are struggling and praying very hard to make it to get our lives back on track with this news as it has hit us hard. We are strong but need some help as we do this.
My family and I are asking for any Donations and help you may be able to send and we thank you and God Bless all of you.
