Help support Sheri due to unexpected diagnosis

Hi my name is Sherilynn, I'm setting up this fundraiser due to running into some financial difficulties after being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.

This last year and a half have been extremely hard for me to try to learn to manage this illness. I have been blessed with a great team of Doctors that work with me weekly to help. I attend the fibromyalgia clinic for physical therapy, cognitive therapy and see a therapist there. I have a gastro Dr. That follows me closely along with Nero and rhumotogist. I also go to a hemotologist for iron infusions every 3 months due to this making me anemic. And I was in regular phisical therapy for 7 months to try to get my back and legs to function properly. This has been and still is a journey of trying to manage this illness! It's been so incredibly difficult physically mentally and emotionally!

Symptoms of fibromyalgia are: chronic widespread pain throughout your entire body, Flu- like generalized muscle aching, chronic fatigue, difficulty sleeping well, cognitive and memory difficulties (known as “brain fog”), gastro issues, depression, and anxiety.

Every day is a struggle feeling like I have the flu, my whole body is in so much pain and the fatigue is unbearable! The gastro and cognitive difficulty on top of this have made this disease incredibly hard to manage. Leading to anxiety and depression.

Due to not being able to work, I have been under an enormous amount of stress and financial hardship. I have always had a passion to help people and have with most of my work history found jobs that do just that. I am a certified HHA, PCA, CNA, and hospice care.

This has been hard for me to be on the other end needing medical and financial help. I have been blessed with help from the local churches this last year and a half when the ERAP program ran behind on rental payment and when the program ended for me. Through this I learned sometimes you need help and you can't find it unless you ask! So if anyone is able to help during this difficult time, any donation would be a blessing to help me financially with bills, I'm working with a lawyer to get on disability and I'm almost at the end of this crisis just need some support until I get approved and the payments start coming in. Please share and thank you again for taking the time to read this.
