Help Ash Afford Life-Changing Briviact

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Ash, and I am seeking assistance to pay for 1 month's supply of Briviact, an anticonvulsant medication. I was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy this October, after about a year of seizures being mistreated and a lot of medical gaslighting-- but I don't need to get into all of that.

My current situation is: I have tried 5 anticonvulsant medications, and so far all of them have made me incredibly ill: nausea, vomiting, dizzy spells, fainting, etc. Because of these side effects, I'm now unable to work. This past Tuesday, I had 8 seizures and was rushed to the hospital, where they trialed Briviact, and my whole world changed. For the first time in 6 weeks, I could eat normally, walk normally-- I felt like a human being. And then my insurance company decided that this medication isn't medically necessary.

I'm asking for your help so that I can get back to work and I will qualify for health benefits through my job in 2025, so hopefully I will not run into this issue again.
