Help Me Pay My Medical Bills?
Hey, guys. Most of you know me as Pesmenos on here, or as Earthseraph on AO3, but I’d like humanize myself and tell you: Hi, I’m Syd. I’m Syd and I have PCOS.
What is PCOS, you ask? PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, for me is a thing that makes my hormones go out of wack, among other things. I have too much testosterone, I have an enlarged ovary, my periods are long, painful, and heavy, and I’m at risk for cysts on my ovaries. Due to this I must go to the doctor every three months to get a birth control shot that doesn’t have estrogen- because estrogen gives me migraines- so my periods don’t last for months, to prevent a cyst growing on my ovary, and to get constant blood tests. This shot, though, can deteriorate the bone in my arm if I’m not careful, and because of expensive blood tests I won’t be able to get the vitamin D or calcium tests that will let my doctors know if this is happening.
These visits aren’t cheap and my insurance only covers 20% of the cost because I haven’t met a $1,500 out-of-pocket deductible. My mother’s flippant about the situation because it’s not her insurance, my father says that the bills are from my doctor visits so they’re mine to pay, and my step dad won’t let me work so I’m unemployed. This- these commissions- are my only hope to pay these bills before I start getting refused service and every dollar helps.
Please reblog this post even if you can’t commission me. The more this gets spread around the higher the chance of someone commissioning me.
