I’m a health care professional who got hit with a high viral load of COVID in Jan 2020 working on the front lines in Urgent Care with recent immigrants and Refugees, the unhoused population, and the underserved population on Medicaid or uninsured in Worcester, MA. I currently live in Tempe, AZ and continue to work from home since I am dealing with so many immune and autoimmune illnesses since Long COVID took hold. I’ve got good health insurance, but there’s still a $4000 out of network deductible, and the specialists who are expert in dealing with my illnesses are cash-pay. I could use help with all these medical expenses.
I’m dealing with Long COVID, hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachcardia Syndrome), OH (Orthostatic Hypotension), psoriatic arthritis, MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome), Adrenal Failure and long term glucocorticoid use (osteopenia, diabetes mellitus type 2, colon rupture, partial colon resection x2, non-healing wound with wound vac x22 months), immune suppression, ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), and so much more.
I’m hoping these complications of Long COVID will eventually resolve, but I’m in year 6, still plodding along with enormous medical bills and not a lot of hope.
