Hi. My name is Dave. This is a photo of me and my girlfriend . I'm here to tell a heart wrenching story about Stephanie two years ago she was diagnosed with a very rare disease called Idiopathic intracranial hypertension IIH. A disease that causes daily severe migraines and headaches brought on by uncontrollable high intracranial fluid pressure in the brain. After being diagnosed by a neurologist , she was placed on medication called Acetazolamide or Diomax for short, that it controls the intracranial hypertension. If not treated the migraines can be so severe that it can put high ocular pressure which can eventually lead to total blindness or even death. Her doctor says the disease is weight related and that she along with the medication, has to lose 80 lbs for the disease to go away. She has tried everything but the expensive weight loss treatments, and is unable to lose the necessary weight.
She has been on this medication for almost 2 years and takes 2 pills twice a day and was not fortunate enough to have this diagnosis at an earlier stage as she already has minor vision loss . With this medication being long term comes a lot of horrible side effects. They include severe lethargy and tiredness, sharp razor blade like pain in her hands, feet, metallic taste, bladder problems (acts as water pill),, dizziness and the list goes on. Because of her condition and the medication, my girlfriend had to quit her job. Like everyone else she has bills to pay and the credit card debt keeps piling up. The government is unwilling to help her financially and no one will hire her because she is unable to perform the job productively due to the side effects of the medication.
So I'm writing this to raise money so that the funds can be use to help my girlfriend pay her bills, debt, start her own kiosk business and to pay for Medical Weight Loss Program (very expensive treatment that guarantees desired weight loss). If she can lose at least 80 lbs, the doctors are convinced the disease will go awaly and she will no longer have to take the horrible medication. Her life will be back to normal once more.
Time is the essence for Stephanie due to the fact that over time, the medication Diomaxx has very harmful effects on the body. It should not be taken over a long period. So the sooner she can receive the desired funding the sooner she can be rid of the disease and have a healthy future with me. She is the love of my life, she's my rock.
I appreciate all your donations Every bit helps Stephanie get her life back and builds our future together. I believe the funding will make a world of a difference for her. Thank you again for your generosity and good will. Any loved one can get this very rare disease at anytime. Again thank you all for your kind support :) Please see the uploaded youtube video located in the gallery for more information on the disease. :)
