I was diagnosed with "Wallenberg Syndrome". A rare condition caused by ischemic stroke. There is a blood clot in my brain and needs immediate treatment or else my life will be at risk.
Quick Facts about Wallenberg Syndrome
Wallenberg syndrome is a condition that affects the nervous system. Signs and symptoms may include swallowing difficulties, dizziness, hoarseness, nausea and vomiting, nystagmus, and problems with balance. Some people have uncontrollable hiccups, loss of pain and temperature sensation on one side of the face, and/or weakness or numbness on one side of the body. Wallenberg syndrome is often caused by a stroke in the brain stem. Treatment addresses each symptom and may include a feeding tube for swallowing problems, speech and/or swallowing therapy, and medication for pain. While some people's symptoms may improve within weeks or months, others may have long-term neurological problems.[1]

The doctor told me that I need to be admitted in the hospital but due to many cases of covid here in our city, it would be risky for my health. So he gave me an option, being confined in the hospital or he will handle my treatment on his clinic. I chose the latter because it will cost me more once I am confined in the hospital.
So he explained to me how the treatment will be. He said that I need to complete the drip medication. 21x or 21 days drip. It would be much better if I can take drips meds 3x a day. But I cannot afford that. The cost of drip med is 3,500 pesos per session. He will inject the medication in IV, so I need to be at his clinic everyday. And I need to take 10 different kinds of medicines. The doctor told me that I need to be treated immediately or else I will be paralyzed or worst, die.
The total cost of my medication is 103,280 pesos or $2000. After knowing that, I was in deep thought because where the hell would I get that much amount. Then my husband told me that he will sell his motorcycle for my medication but still it is not enough.
So I tried my luck in noise.cash. It is my first time begging for help and I know that I am being shameless but I need to live.
