Medical bills and debt.

Hi my name is mikayla, I'm not sure if this is right for me to do as I'm not one to ask for help usually, especially not like this.

In 2017 my health declined rapidly some doctors say it was from the trauma of a very close loved one passing and some say I just got the short end of the straw and have no idea why this is happening. It started off with some stomach issues I dropped so much weight and couldn't eat I was in pain almost constantly with other symptoms I'd rather not mention. In 2018 a doctor told me he believes I have a hole in my stomach lining and since then I've been on waitlists to get an endoscopy and colonoscopy but neither have happened yet. Over the years of waiting I've been put on medications to try to manage and mask my symptoms but lot of them made my symptoms worse. I've had to see more specialists and do gut microbiome tests which isn't cheap and I can't afford to do this anymore, but I want answers so badly since doctors haven't been able to give me any yet. I've developed eating disorders because of this because so many foods give me flare ups currently I can only seem to eat buckwheat crackers and some lactose free cheese and that's maybe a couple times a day and I still wake up in pain. This year I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia as I've been experiencing widespread body pain for unknown reasons and going to physio and chiropractic centres didn't do much for it as well as distautonomia because my heart rate is usually quite high and I have episodes of feeling very week, faint, hot/cold and have passed out from it at times. I've been wondering If all of this is because I'm malnutritioned and don't get the vitamins and minerals I need but and as someone who has anxiety, the main ones being hypochondria and agoraphobia it makes it very hard to deal with and remain calm in all of this, and I can't afford to make the appointments to find out what is going on all the time or see my doctor as regularly as he or i would like. My doctor would like to do a pots test but to see him it'd $70 alone and I can barely afford that at the moment. My doctor has recommended that I try to go privately for the colonoscopy and endoscopy so that we might finally be able to get some form of answers and get the ball rolling on a proper management plan that doesn't include so much masking of symptoms so we can instead properly manage them and provide me with better quality of life. So here I am asking for help to pay off my already existing medical debt and to hopefully go privately for at least an endoscopy.

Thank you for taking the time to read my health journey.
