Hannah's Medical help

My name is Hannah Garlock, and as hard as it is for me to bring myself to ask, I'm asking for your help and support.

I struggle with 'Labile Diabetes Mellitus' (also called 'Brittle Type 1 Diabetes'). This means that, unlike normal type 1 diabeties I experience frequent and extreme swings in high and low surgar. This is caused by insulin absorbtion issues and issues with my hormones and its not something I can control. I've been a diabetic for a long time, since age 5 and was it was always a struggle to cope and manage it. Last year I encountered a miracle in the form of a "Medtronic Minimed insulin pump" with a continuous glucose monitoring censor. This has made day-to-day life a lot easier to handle and has brought me a sense of normalcy... as far as having diabetes goes.

Now, along with this quite expensive disease I am also struggling with unknown internal ailments which doctors are still trying to diagnose. I have already been in the hospital 3 times, with 2 ultrasounds and a CT scan with no results. I have had much blood-work done with no results as to what may be ailing me. Upcoming so far I have an Upper and lower GI endoscopy, and possible Laparoscopy along with more and more blood work.

So far all of this is costing me $3500 in copays and I have more I need to have done.

I cannot afford any of this right now because of not being able to work due to debilitating pain and fatigue. I had to leave my job last year to start seeing the long lines of doctors. This is also around the time that my husband and I seperated. Because of this, I am losing my health coverage. He had informed me of this on 4/28 and I have had no update since. This has made things so much harder as I cannot afford my copays or mounting medical debt.

It is hard for me to admit when I need help, and harder still to accept it. Trust me when I say this is the last thing I wanted to consider, but I feel I have no other alternative. I'm reaching out to those reading this that would like to help, even if it's not through a monetary donation. Any help is good help at this point.

Thank you for listening to me. Any help or support you could offer would be greatly appreciated, and from the bottom of my heart, you have my everlasting thanks.

Hannah
