Hi everybody! My name is Maxwell and I'm 25 year old nonbinary person. I dont post on here a lot but Im currently having an issue I can't really avoid.
I have a family history of ovarian cysts- my grandma had two surgeries followed by an eventual hysterectomy and my mom had one surgery at 40 where they removed her uterus and a softball sized cyst full of liquid from her body. Since around 2022 I've been having irregular periods that keep getting worse and worse and, knowing my family history, finally decided to go to a gyno and get everything checked out. Turns out I have multiple cysts! Yay!
They're small so I dont have to get surgery right away but in order to identify these cysts (to make sure they wont burst in my body and kill me) and test for other possible causes like hpv I had to get a pap smear and ultrasound. My insurance covered about $200 of these tests and left me with a bill of $3,000. To add insult to injury this huge bill is actually due on my 26th birthday! July 27th!
I work a decent job but its at a university, so currently I'm laid off and only making around $200 a week on unemployment after deducting my essential bills money. I have been living paycheck to paycheck and this has been a huge blow to not only my bank account but mental health as well. I hate asking for money but I don't really know what else to do. I don't have any work available to me and even if I did, I struggle with chronic pain and multiple mental health issues (audhd, dissociative disorders, ptsd, etc) that make my lay offs almost essential for me to recover from the intense struggle to function during the rest of the year.
Even if you can just give a few bucks I'd be so appreciative. If you dm me with proof of your donation I'll even throw in a little doodle as a treat. More examples in my art tag
Thank you!!!
