Dear friends,
I never wanted to end up in such a situation, nor to be forced to call on the help of those around me. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a chronic, neurodegenerative disease that still has no known causes but which affects the covering of your brain and spine and whose evolution is unpredictable. I was a first-year medical student when out of the blue, in a few days I started having speech and balance disorders, unbearable headaches and in a few days from a young scholarship student who was concerned with school and helping others, I ended up to depend on others because he paralyzed my left hand and leg. After expensive investigations in the country's hospitals, they discovered that she suffers from the disease of a thousand girls. After 2 months of recovery, I also became paralyzed on the right side. Since then, a lot of recovery and excruciating treatments with Interferon have followed, but not to cure me, but only to prolong the agony so that I don't end up in a wheelchair in a short time. In parallel with my studies, I worked in restaurants as a waiter, cook and in the end I ended up working 16 hours a day at a financial institution plus the residency in medicine which eats up my nights studying. 6 months ago, due to stress and fatigue, the symptoms returned and I ended up walking with a cane, my left leg no longer listens to me. I didn't want to give up my job because I pay my rent from it and support myself in a foreign city, my mother doesn't have the possibility to help me financially. My boss saw that I could no longer come dressed nicely and with shoes and everything, being forced to move with the help of a cane, he fired me. The problem is that I am no longer medically insured and the 4 injections with Interferon that I depend on weekly end up costing 700 euros per month. I also need physical therapy to learn to move my hand and leg again, and the sessions cost 50 euros per week. Please help me from the bottom of my heart so that I can afford to buy the treatment every month and recover so that I can finish medicine and fulfill my dream of becoming an oncologist, my father died 3 years ago due to a terrible pancreatic cancer.
I have no one to help me, my mother does her best to buy me medical instruments and the books necessary for study, which are extraordinarily expensive.
I am attaching pictures with the interpretations of magnetic resonance imaging, computer tomography of the spine and brain.
