Donation protected

My name melissa

I ll start at beginning

Its been almost a year since it all started. I got the shingles and they lasted about a week or so i thought. They went internal they were on my face and scalp. The drs kept telling me that's not what was wrong. i went repeated times to er and drs. Telling them that i knew it was shingles gone internal. For months i went thru this with them. I ended up not able to eat or swallow. I couldnt cough,sneeze,cry i got to point where i couldnt lift head off of pillow. I lost 30lbs

  • I had cameras ran down my throat test after test after test. Trips to every er in tulsa. At one point my dr had me admit myself to hospital said they were waiting on me and when i got to the hospital they were expecting me but they had no idea why . My dr had not sent any orders for my care at all!!! Still no answers. Finally i went back to er and had yet another brain scan only to be told i have a brain aneurysm. I went to get a second opinion only to be told after days and days of tests that i had a spot on brainstem but they didnt know why. Test after test again. Told i had encephalitis and menengitis brain aneurysm. Due to shingles going internal. And spent next 3-4 months trying to be treated and still had to argue with my pc about my situation. I finally was able to come home so much better still have brain aneurysm. But within a month my body swelled up and i had an uncontrollable cough and couldnt breathe. Back to dr and er repeated times gained the 30lbs i lost plus 50 more. Been sick off and on since. I have changed my dr and am trying to recover still a yr later. I have been unable to work and am raising my 10 yr old great niece iv had her since she was about 2. I have had to fight to keep our house . And lost our gas due to not being able to keep up with bills i dont qualify for disability havent paid in enough. I hate asking anyone for anything. But my life partner works 45 to 50 hrs wk but its not enough to keep up with everything . I just need help being its cold out now and christmas time. I need electric to be able to take my meds thru nebulizer

If i could just get a break if i could just get caught up that would give me a chance to get well instead of stressing to point it keeps me sick. Too sick to be able to work. I go every chance i am able to breathe walking from one room to next but some.days thats an imppossiblity

Any help at all would be a blessing i want to thank you for taking time to read my story. If you can help thats wonderful if not i understand totally its hard for everyone these days . God bless and Happy Holidays
