I wasn't treated/ diagnosed for 11 mos-despite a trip to the MAYO clinic.
B4 the #ACA, we went through our life savings on my medical care. 😪

The bacteria went to my spinal cord & brain.
Treatment was too late.
I've had 8 spinal taps so far...
I'm in #ChronicPain
I also caught Coxsackie B4 virus, a cousin of polio.

I use a wheelchair/walker/cane, depending on my pain & balance.
My now 78-year-old mom loads/unloads my walker. She's exhausted.

We get $72/mo for food & we need help paying our mortgage. Trying to save our home so I will have a home when she's gone (or vice versa(.
We spent our life savings on my #Healthcare
