Raising funds for medical expenses

Hi,
My name is Candy and I'm fundraising for my medical bills and also medications. Let me tell you a little bit about what happened to me in last year.
So in the late spring of 2023 I was diagnosed with lyme's disease. I spent about one month in the hospital getting many tests done and tried many treatments to figure out what was going on.
It all started when I started losing feeling in my fingertips. So I went to the doctor and she had said it could be tendonitis. Over a few weeks, during the 4th of July weekend, I was starting to feel numbness in my legs and they would also get very tired fast. A few weeks later I started to have trouble walking like standing up from a chair and going upstairs. Then I decided to go to the doctor and they could not figure out what was wrong with me right away. They tried several antibiotics but couldn't find an answer. Finally they just sent me home, The next day I was at my mother in law's and I fell on the floor I couldn't walk so back to the hospital I went. I was hospitalized at United hospital in Saint Paul for month. I united, they ran many tests finally figured out. Lyme's disease. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Lyme's...time is the only cure...maybe.
After the hospital I had to go to a transitional care unit to try regain my ability to walk and use my hands. There I spent 8 months. Within those 8 months
we had trouble with the insurance company which has left us with large cost for the TCU.
Right now I'm currently in wheelchair and have many medications I have to pay for and being able to take care of some medical bills. I know it's probably unorthodox to do a gofundme for myself but with bills piling up I sure could use the help as I cannot work. Thank you in advance for reading this page.
