Last year in May, my mom got covid-19 and took a turn for the worst. It attacked her mast cell activation syndrome and triggered severe and violent tremors. For the last nine months, she has struggled through the effects it’s had on her brain and autonomic functions. Her specialty doctor stopped taking insurance, so each appointment is now $400, which doesn’t include the testing and preventative measures. She can no longer drive, and the cost of gas continues to rise past what we can afford.
If you previously knew my mom, you knew she always did all she could do to help others. She is the most selfless, empathetic person I’ve ever known. While struggling with these diseases, she has lost so much of her quality of life, and we can’t afford to get her in a better place. She can no longer eat because of her gastroparesis, which causes her body to take 24 hours to digest one meal, given that her Mast Cell Activation Syndrome allows her to keep it down. Mast Cells control allergic reactions, but her Mast Cells frequently treat anything foreign in anaphylaxis. The covid reacted with her Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and attacked her brain, causing these tremors. She has a connective tissue disease called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome which causes extreme pain and frequent joint dislocation. She needs a body braid to keep her joints in place.
