Salvaging What's Left

Hello everyone! My name is Darlie and I suffer from what is considered a rare condition called MALS. Its short for Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome. Its a disease where your celiac artery is compressed, and can cause abdominal pain, weight loss, and an abdominal bruit. Personally, I suffer from all these symptoms and it’s not fun at all. I’ve had this condition for around 2 years so far, and its caused a huge negative effect in my life. Becoming this sick has really increased my depression and anxiety, along with the symptoms from the disease itself. I’ve lost a ton of weight, and I’m left in a severely weak state. Honestly I can’t stand up without feeling like I’m going to pass out and my vision fading. On my worst days where the pain gets so bad I vomit, I usually end up in the emergency room because my condition is so horrible. Honestly there is no hope for relief without surgery, and this is where I desperately need help. In Nevada, there are no vascular surgeons I can see who can perform the surgery. I’d need to go out of state, which means my mother’s insurance will not be available. I’m too sick to get a job, and my mom is already trying her absolute best to work and try to help me as much as possible. In order to even have the possibility of getting better, I need to get this surgery.
