Help Renee Restore her Health

Hi there, My name is Renee! If you didn't know, in March of 2021 I was rushed to the ER after having major pressure/chest pain for 24 hrs. Turns out it was a gallbladder attack (everything made sense as I'd had these chest pains twice before but lasted about 1/2 as long). After a night in the ER doing tests and trying to regulate my pain, I went in for an emergency Cholecystectomy to get my Gallbladder removed. About a month after my surgery, when I was starting to feel somewhat back to "normal," I started really struggling to manage my health with new dietary restrictions and work, so my mental health started to go downhill, started getting very depressed and struggling a lot with my mental health all summer. I left the job I was at (had a great job lined up, but it fell through); in the meantime, I went through an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) that truly helped my mental health thrive a lot; however, I was unable to afford a therapist at the time. So I could properly not keep up with my mental health. Right after my IOP program ended in Aug 2021, I started a job with Utah Schools for the Deaf and Blind and adored my time there. However, I started getting sick around this time (Nov) and missed a good bit of work. Ultimately I left because I want to work for them in the future, just at a better time.

I currently work for Doterra and have since Jan 2022. In February, I started experiencing severe pains again and stomach issues similar to IBS. I landed in the ER with a phantom gallbladder attack; this is where although you no longer physically have a gallbladder, your body can still experience the symptoms of a gallbladder attack. After a night of managing my pain and more tests to ensure I had no other gallstones in my duct, I went home. Since then, I have been experiencing debilitating IBS-like symptoms that make it very hard to get proper nutrition and manage life outside of my health (work, sports, family functions, etc.). I've tried to manage this with food, different supplements, tests, worked with various doctors, and many things. However, due to the debilitating symptoms I've been having recently, I've missed a lot of work, and my health is only declining as I still struggle to find the proper nutrition and help. I've been through many different options, and I believe what will help me best thrive and heal physically and mentally is taking the time I need to do so. Whether through a treatment center or myself + my support system, time to heal properly is crucially needed.

Since March 2021, I have had many medical bills to manage, and unfortunately, I cannot cover them all myself and need some assistance. To be in this position is very vulnerable and scary, but I know my friends and family will love and support me through this. These donations will help cover my medical debt since last March.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much.

Renee
