My Autoimmune disorders have gotten worse so now I'm on an infusion medication called Actemra (https://www.actemra.com/ra/taking-actemra/taking-actemra-iv-infusions.html). My hearing loss has also gotten worse in my right ear, I'm at 65% hearing loss now in that ear. Nothing can be done about that at this point and when the time comes all I can do is have surgery to become completely deaf.
I will be finding out my neuropsych test results on 6/25/2021, this ought to be interesting and I will have to do an update on this at a later time. I have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes but the medications I have tried so far made me breakout into a rash or caused GI issues and I have enough GI issues.

Most people would look at this and wonder why I'm not getting Social Security Disability yet, I am wondering the same thing. I have been fighting for it since the end of 2018 and keep getting denied. I'm wondering if I need to have one foot in the grave before I'll get it, I will not give up though.
Any help would be much appreciated whether it's money, gift cards or you can send items to me. Message me and I will give you a mailing address. GoFundMe, PayPal and Wishlist for me and my furbabies are listed on the left side of my blog page, and I will also include links below.
I will continue to post updates as they come along.
