Over
the last two months my health has deteriorated rapidly. I went from
having severe migraines on a daily basis, to now having no strength in
my right side. I can’t bend my knee without considerable effort, and now
I can’t hold a pen, or even a fork. This is frightening enough,
considering my right hand is my dominant one, but the bigger issue is
that I still don’t have a diagnosis as to what is wrong. The
possibilities run from MS, to nerve damage, to even possibly a stroke.
Walking
is difficult for me. I drag my foot, and my ankle rolls often. My knee
buckles and I crash to the floor. This happened while I was in the
hospital, and now it’s happening multiple times a day.
I need to get
support braces for my joints, especially my knee and ankle. Wrist and
finger splints will help me be able to hold a pen to be able to draw
again, as well as feed myself without spilling. I may also need a cane
for particularly bad days.
Any additional funds will go toward
transporting me to and from my many MANY doctor’s appointments as we
look for a diagnosis for what is wrong.
If you submit
screenshots of your donation for $50.00 or more, I will write you a story
of your prompting, up to five thousand words!
This is an example of the support I’m looking for for my hand
Even if you aren’t able to support, I would appreciate it if you reblogged this to boost it and support a disabled queer NB.
I’m just 150 dollars off of my goal. Ring splints are all I need to get now. My knee brace has done wonders. I went for a walk with it on yesterday, and had no trouble at all. I keep my wrist braces in the fridge, which has confused my poor roommate.
As for what’s wrong, the opthalmologist I saw says it’s almost certainly MS. She also said that flare ups like this can last up to six months. Vision in my left eye is almost gone and it is likely the cause of my migraine spikes. I have another MRI booked for the end of the month, as well as seeing a neurologist again.

I’ve raised my target goal because I have an appointment with an ophthalmologist in a few days to find out if there is an underlying cause to the vision loss and pain in my left eye. Odds are pretty good that I will need eyeglasses on top of everything else. If I don’t, I will close up the fundraiser.
I’ve been dealing with a pretty frightening medical issue recently, so I’m not surprised it slipped my mind that my birthday is coming up in a few weeks. If you’ve been following me for more than a year, you might recall that my birthday is not a good time for me, and with this health problem, that’s more true than ever. So, this year? I’m going to be utterly shameless!
My birthday is on July 31st. Until then, send me happy messages! Tell me abut cute cats you saw! Leave groan worthy puns in my inbox! Tag me in funny posts!
