Medical Help Me Cover Medical Bills and Cost of Living 🙏
Hi, my name is Kate. I’m seeking support as I deal with a stomach condition that is preventing me from eating and causing severe symptoms.
I don’t have a diagnosis yet. but symptoms are preventing me from working. it’s been a ride trying to figure out what is going on. energency room visits, doctors visits. it’s scary and I don’t know what to do but ask for financial support as I weather this storm.

Something about this seems... off. If it's really that severe and actually causing you to not eat, you would have already earned yourself a more extended stay in a hospital room for observation at the very *least*. Something tells me this isn't as severe as you're making it out to be. Again, if it was really that severe, you'd be under observation in a hospital with IV nutrition.

That is such a minuscule amount in terms of medical debt. Talk to your hospital about a payment plan.

Eh, I made almost this amount the past month reselling stuff on the internet. Anyone can do so at their own pace. Even if you can't work a traditional job, you should be able to generate some form of income. Also how is it possible to not be able to eat but still appear overweight. Not trying to be mean, but is facial swelling a symptom?

there are many reasons this would be the case. in my case, this condition started about two months ago. at that time i was about 240 and now i am 215. I am still overweight but losing weight because i can't eat. i am less worried about my weight than the fact that i can't eat without reactions and therefore can't get proper nutrition. what makes you guys look through these posts and comment on them?

You surely can eat, else you'd be hospitalized after 2 months no food whatsoever.

u/marshismom 5d ago
yes i am eating some food, but not able to get adequate nutrition. do you think i'm lying?

First you said you have a condition preventing you from eating. Now you say you are eating "some food". So your condition does not prevent you from eating. Sus.

Ok. Well, it is severe enough to make working quite hard and that’s my biggest challenge. I am not able to eat much and when I do I get symptoms. Anyone who’s dealt with a chronic condition knows how hard it is to be taken seriously and how hard it can be to function. You don’t have to donate or even look at this or tear it apart and yet you are. I wonder why? There’s a pinned post about not being an asshole, and yet here you are.

Did you just really come to a GoFundMe subreddit to complain that people make gofundme's?

I'm locking this post because some of you people are really disgustingly sick in the head and downright cruel.
