IN SUMMARY:
My mother has been suffering from severe fibromyalgia for over 10 years. I moved with my folks back to QLD from Victoria to help get mum back into a warmer climate to help ease her symptoms a little. However, she has continued to get worse and to deteriorate quite dramatically.
Over the past 10 years, my parents have tried many specialists,
doctors and treatments - both medical and natural - mostly to no avail
or with little relief. And trust me, when I say we’ve tried almost
everything - I mean everything! Mum is currently on a regime of
natural treatment and pain medication to help manage symptoms to some
degree but with little relief. My mum basically lives in a body prison
of endless suffering with excruciating pain and many severely
debilitating symptoms.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
As a fibromyalgia sufferer myself, it’s taking all my physical
and financial resources to help manage my own condition and therefore
it is getting harder and harder to help support my parents. I need
your help! It would mean a lot if you could donate to help my mum get
her health and quality of life back!! No amount is too small… every
single dollar you give, will go one step closer to giving mum her life
back!
AND with this platform, we don't
have to wait to reach the goal to have funds released - all funds
you donate get released to us immediately - which means - the
moment you give, we can start mums treatment! yah!
HOW FIBRO HAS DEBILITATED MUM:
- She is confined to either laying in bed or sitting on the couch all day
- She has pain throughout her whole body, so severe that even the strongest prescription pain meds barely ease it. (I often find mum crying in pain and she has the highest pain threshold I’ve seen)
- She is so sore, you can barely touch her without pain
- she can’t go out and if she does - it’s in much suffering, therefore we can’t go out anywhere as a family, therefore she is confined to the house 24/7
- She suffers severe nausea
- She can barely taste food
- Suffers severe diarreha and IBS
- Endless headaches
- Suffers severe insomnia (in fact, she’s barely slept for the past couple of years)
- The list goes on… she basically lives in a body prison of endless suffering. This is no way to live.
To add pain to her pain, she is now due for hip replacements (she has
already had both her knees replaced due to this condition). So she is
in severe pain with her hips too and while she is on a long waiting
list to get hip surgery - we need to get her well enough to even go
for surgery.
TREATMENT PLAN:
Through much research & discussions with specialists - we have
discovered the best treatment for mum is: 1.) Vitamin infusion therapy
and 2.) FMS (Frequency Specific Microcurrent) treatments. These
treatments will help restore mum’s body and treat the fibro pain at
the source and actually help give mum her life back. These treatments
will have to happen weekly initially - for about 6 -12 months and then
hopefully we can decrease the frequency after that. These treatments
will add about $300 a week on top of the already large medical bills
my folks are already paying for mum's care. With my dad being a
full-time carer for mum and therefore both of them living on a
disability pension - they just can’t afford these costs. And after
years of full-time care and medical costs - their finances are
completely depleted.
ABOUT FIBROMYALGIA:
Fibromyalgia is the 6th most painful illness. It’s more painful than a heart attack, kidney stones, post surgery recovery pain and arthritis…. Just to name a few. The pain is usually throughout the whole body and it is an unrelenting, consistent pain. To further compound this pain are the painful symptoms that often come with fibro: migraines and group headaches, arthritis, skin too sore to touch, severe period pain or endometriosis, nerve pain and slow more painful recoveries to injuries or other illnesses/ viruses. Other symptoms include: Severe chronic fatigue, severe insomnia (which also increases pain), incontinence, diarrhea and IBS, nausea, overall weakness & faintness, loss of appetite, sometimes loss of taste, depression, anxiety and the list goes on and on.
As a fibromyalgia suffer myself - I explain fibromyalgia like this: it feels like you are being buried alive in a coffin - your body is shutting down & detioriating while you are still alive. This illness is literally like living in a prison of physical torture that never seems to end and what makes it worse, is that it’s invisible! No one can see it - so they don’t understand how severe it is, how excruciatingly painful and exhausting it is and how debilitating it is. And in the very severe cases - like in the case of mum - you lose ALL quality of life to this condition.
PLEASE DONATE to help me give mum her life back!
