As much as I really really hate to do this , I'm asking for help here.
After a few weeks of pain I finally was able to go to a walk in clinic to be seen. This was a few days ago. I have been in a constant state of pain for awhile now. The walk in clinic we went to did a physical on me (you know where they poke and proud and jab at your body) and I had what they call a positive Murphy test. That's where they press on my gallbladder , and it hurt...so freaking bad. My liver also hurt when they tapped on it but no where near as much as the gallbladder.
I also had a very high urobiligion reading. Basicly a healthy level is at 1.0 ... Mine was at 4.0 . this indicates something is very wrong with my liver. As the walk in doctor explained , if my gallbladder is inflamed it can cause my liver to act up as well due to the fact it sits right on top of the gallbladder.
The walk in clinic told me I need to go to an er and get imaging done to find out what I can do next. The problem here is that I dont have any health insurence and I am already working on paying off an 8,000$ hospital bill from the last time I got told to go there....so we couldnt afford to go get further testing.
Now my pain is starting to hurt even worse and I'm very scared. We are working to get me health insurence but it wont be able to kick in until 6 weeks. The new year. I dont think I can or should wait that long to be seen....i hurt so bad to the point I cant sleep anymore.
A few years ago my mom had to have hwr gallbladder removed due to the worst case of gallstones her doctor had ever seen. Apparently gallbladder issues are genetic and because she had to have hers removed there is a very high likely hood that I will have to as well.
Right now I am doing everything I can to try and lesson the pain. I'm now on a very strict very bland gallbladder diet so no more fatty / greasy / sugary / spicy foods for me. It sucks...but I'll do anything if it helps make this pain go away.
So if you can donate anything at all so I can get this imaging done , I would be forever greatful. If you cant donate but still want to help , pls share this journal.
I absolutely hate asking for hand outs....but I'm legit scared for my life right now because ignoring these worsening symptoms can lead to very bad things.... It looks like the abdominal ultrasound id need can be anything up to 1,000$...and that doesn't even include paying for the doctors time/hospital room.
I am still trying to do commissions but work is slow due to the pain im in. If you want to buy art from me instead you can note me but pls realize I will be very slow to work on it.
If uve read this far , thank you. In sorry to be a burden...and I love all of my watchers <3
Look......JUST GO TO THE HOSPITAL! There is no sense in dying while you raise funds. That can wait. They HAVE to treat you. My wife had this, and it's serious stuff. Get the care you need, and deal with the finances when you are well.
