Hi everyone ♡︎ Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I suffer from fibromyalgia and an autoimmune disease that a rheumatologist is still trying to figure out. I also have herniated discs in my lower back with mild scoliosis. My disabilities affect my life every day. I have chronic pain daily in my back, hips, and legs, but during flare ups I experience pain literally in every part of my body. It affects my balance and makes it difficult to walk without my cane. My legs spasm and shake uncontrollably. I experience cognitive and memory issues with horrible brain fog. I can barely do chores around the house, Taylor has to pick up everything I can’t do. I have to sit in a shower and sit at my sink when I have to take care of myself. It takes me much longer to do simple tasks. I suffer from chronic fatigue and barely having energy throughout the day. My fibro strongly affects my social life, as it’s hard to go out. I cannot go out without my cane. I cannot stand or walk for periods of time. I want to be able to go to the zoo or other events and be able to wheel through it instead of having to leave early because I’m in too much pain to continue. Having a wheelchair would make my life easier and have a better quality of life.
Though my doctor and a physical therapist recommended and prescribed a wheelchair for me, our insurance decided to deny it saying I’m not completely bound to needing a wheelchair 24/7. I’m still in the middle of trying to get disability payments, so we aren’t able to afford expensive wheelchairs on our own :(
I don’t exactly know how much it’s going to cost, but literally anything helps ♡︎ Thank you so much.
