Starr Pittaway hasn't added a story.
My name is Starr Pittaway and I live in Rockford, IL. As a Certified Natural Health Professional, and Advanced Digestive Specialist I have assisted many people over the years improve their health. I am a wife, mother, grandmother, with an active lifestyle, contributing to my community, a forward thinker, a quilter, a painter. Excited to learn new things, and new ways of expressing myself.
The pain I am currently experiencing is excruciating and my quality
of life has diminished greatly…
Two years ago, I was diagnosed
with osteoarthritis in my hips. About 4 months ago, excruciating pain
began running down my legs. With this pain I have lost mobility. I had
been seriously looking for an M.D. to provide stem cells for my hips.
I found an M.D. in Peoria to help me with stem cells, platelet rich
fibrin and pain management.
She prescribed an MRI for my spine.
Five disks were found to be damaged and need repair.
Pain
medication only dulls the pain. Searching for a solutions, I have
talked with many doctors and heard a variety of ideas. At last, I
found a spine specialist MD in Tyler Texas. For the last eight years
he has been providing disk repair procedures. I sent down my MRI and
Xray reports. It turns out that with my current condition. I have been
accepted for the procedure.The
impact on my life is devastating, the pain and pain medication makes
it difficult to concentrate and focus. Many things have changed in my
life, like: I now must ride a cart in stores, and when I do
Walk, I need a cane for stability. My former intense 6 days a
week pool workouts have been reduced to very gentle water workouts
with a lot of stretching 2-3 times a week. I struggle with getting
dressed, putting on socks, picking up things that have dropped on the
floor, carrying anything heavy.
Through the years, I have helped
numerous people with an amazing amount of situations. This is taking
me away from my true mission of helping others. So I am asking for
your help now, to assist with Medical Expenses.
