Help Phoenix Access Specialized POTS Treatment

Donation protected
Hi, I'm Phoenix.

2 years ago (2023), I was hospitalized for low blood pressure and tachycardia. I couldn't walk, let alone work. I sailed through infinite doctor's appointments, but it took until 2024 to get some form of diagnosis and begin treatment. I have a severe form of POTS, a rare disorder of the nervous system. I have trouble walking and I faint frequently. Due to this, I had to quit the job I loved and focus completely on healing. I have been incredibly fortunate to have a family, both blood and found, that assists me financially, emotionally, and physically. I wouldn't be here without them.

However, my treatment has come to a plateau. My care team doesn't know what to do, as my disease is rare and under-researched. There are no specialists available to treat me in my home state of GA. The only solution that seems sustainable for my future is to move to a state where there are specialists and research facilities: Minnesota. MN also has a lower cost of living, and their state-provided health insurance is much better than that of the federal government. With these benefits, my future seems far more sustainable than what I'm experiencing now.

The donations from this GoFundMe will go towards moving expenses and medical expenses.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
