From heart issues to the Big C.
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Melanie, and most coming across this page probably already know me. Recently I have been dealing with some serious heart issues and it has been a
lot to take on alone. It’s two fold at this point. If I feel terribly sick, I can’t work, so I can’t make money. We are still trying to figure out answers. Thus far I have about 4k in medical bills and still no answers. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m still trying to show up every day and perform, but also get answers and remain healthy. So far all we know is for some unknown reason I have a very unhealthy high BP. Medication thus far isn’t working. We have done an ultrasound on my kidneys, which has come back normal (thank goodness). Last week I was put on a holter monitor for 3 days and I am still waiting for those results. I have had to push back my echocardiogram because I don’t have the upfront fees to pay for that at this point in time out of pocket. I understand the heart is a serious organ and not something to joke or play around about and that’s probably the only reason I have resorted to asking for help in this sort of way. I simply can’t manage and I can’t risk not taking care of it. At this point any help, helps. Whether it be monetary or just simply sharing this post to get my story out. I appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Whether you know me or not, I appreciate you.
