DOCTOR FOR A TEST. THE FORM HAS A CODE NUMBER THAT WAS WRITTEN IN BUT i DONT KNOW WHAT iM BEING TESTED FOR. CAN YOU HELP? iM 5 FOOT 1 INCHES. i WAS HOSPITALIZED LAST MONTH FOR A FEW DAYS BC i HADTO HAVE SEVERAL UNITS OF BLOOD BC i AM CRITICALLY IRON DEFICIAT. iN ONE MONTH i HAVE GAINED OVER 20 POUNDS. IM 42 YEARS OLD, I HAVE HAD THREE C SECTIONS, APPENDIX OUT, GALL BLADDER REMOVED, BREAST AUGMENTATION, TUMMY TUCK, 10 YEARS AGO I HAD GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY. I LOST 160 POUNDS. I HAVE KEPT THE WEIGHT OFF MY LOWEST WEIGHT BEING 123 AND MY HIGHTEST IS NOW 149 POUNDS. THE PAST THREE YEARS I STARTED HAVING ALOT OF MEDICAL ISSUES. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS HOSPITAL STAYS FOR ANEMIA, KIDNEY, URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS. I HAD BEAUTIFUL TEETH AND NOW AM IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THEM ALL REMOVED BECAUSE THE DENTIST SAYS THAT NONE OF THEM ARE SAVABLE. I NOW ONLY HAVE 5 TEETH ON TOP, THAT IM HAVING REMOVED NEXT WEEK AND GETTING DENTURES. MY EYE SIGHT IS SO BAD THAT I COULDNT PASS THE EYE EXAM AT THE DOT TO RENEW MY LICENSE. MY HAIR IS THIN AND MY MUSCLES ACHE ALL OF THE TIME. IM LIVING WITH A FRIEND NOW, BC I HAVE LOST MY JOB AND MY CONDO AND HAVE NO INCOME COMING i N . IM SENT TO A LAB ON MONDAY BY MY IN AT ALL. THE ONLY TIME I CAN GET ANY CARE IS GOING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. THEY ALWAYS GIVE ME ALL OF THESE REFERRALS TO SEE BUT SINCE I HAVE NO INSURANCE I AM UNABLE TO GO. I TRY TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE ISSUES IM HAVING BUT BC OF THE MONEY ISSUE THEY SEEM TO IGNORE ME, BRUSH ME OFF AND MY HEALTH KEEPS GETTING WORSE. I AM CURRENTLY UNDER THE CARE OF A PSYCIATRIST FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS. I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH BIPOLAR, DEPRESSION,ADD, AND GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER. IT IS SELF PAY BUT MY DAUGHTER PAYS THE VISIT EVERY MONTH. I AM CURRENTLY TAKING 30MG OF PROZAC, 300 MG OF GABAPATIN, 80 MG OF ADDERALL, AND 3 MG OF XANAX EVERYDAY. i JUST GOT EXCEPTED ON A COUNTY HEALTH PLAN BUT THEY DONT EVEN LISTEN TO WHAT I AM SAYING. MY APPEARANCE IS HORRIBLE. IM SURE THEY THINK THAT I AM A METH HEAD OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE OF MY TEETH AND LEASIONS ON MY BODY. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ADDICTION TO ANY STREET DRUG AND ONLY TAKE WHAT I AM PERSCRIBED BY MY DOCTOR. MY NORMAL RESTING LAYING DOWN HEART RATE IS AROUND 110. ONCE MY FEET HIT THE GROUND IT JUMPS UP TO AROUND 125. CLIMING ONE FLIGHT OF STAIRS OR JUST DOING ANY KIND OF EASY HOUSEWORK WILL RAISE MY PULSE TO SOMETIMES 160 BEATS PER MINUTE. MY BLOOD PRESSURE TO THEM ALWAYS LOOKS GOOD BC ITS USUALLY LIKE 100/70 BUT THAT IS HIGH FOR ME BC I NORMALLY HAVE VERY LOW BLOOD PRESSURE WITH HIGH PULSE. IVE ALSO BEEN HAVING BAD HEADACHES. I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE HEALTH HOME DID GIVE ME A SCRIPT FOR FLEXERIL 10MG THREE TIMES A DAY FOR TENSION, BUT MY MUSCLES ARE PAINFULLY TIGHT ALL OF THE TIME. IM SCARED, I HAVE NO DEPENDANT CHILDREN SO I AM NOT ELIGABLE FOR MEDICAID. I DONT KNOW HOW TO GET ANYONE TO LISTEN TO ME. MY MOTHER DIED AT MY AGE FROM CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE. SHE WAS NEVER TOLD SHE HAD ANY HEART PROBLEMS. MY CHOLESTEROL LEVELS ARE GOOD, THEY SAY MY SUGAR IS GOOD. I FEEL MISERABLE IF I EAT ANYTHING AT ALL MY TUMMY GETS HARD AND POKES OUT AND I LOOK LIKE IM ABOUT 4 MONTHS PREGNANT. I WAS SEEN BY AN INFECTIOUS DESEASE SPECIALIST MY LAST STAY AT THE HOSPITAL BC I TOLD THEM I THINK THAT I HAVE A PARASITE. THEY WOULDNT EVEN TAKE A STOOL SAMPLE. SHE JUST SAT DOWN FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WITH ME SAID SHE WAS SURE I DIDNT HAVE ANYTHING AND THAT WAS IT. ITS NOT PIN WORMS BUT I SEE SOME BLACK LOOKING INSECT THINGS IN MY STOOL. I HAVE SOMETHING UNDER MY SKIN. IT LOOKS LIKE FRECKELS. I HAVE PUT BLEACH ON THE SPOTS WITH PEROXIDE WHICH STINGS BUT THE FRECKLE WILL COME OFF AND LEAVE ME WITH A BLEEDING SORE. I HAVE SCARS FROM THIS ALL OVER MY LEGS AND ARMS ESPECIALY WHERE I HAVE SCAR TISSUE. I LOOKED UP THE SYMPTOMS AND I THINK I HAVE SCABBIES BUT NOONE WILL LISTEN TO ME. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THEM TO OCCASIONALLY GIVE ME THIS PROMETHERIN CREAM. IT SHOULD HAVE DEFINATELY TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM AFTER THE AMOUNT I HAVE RUBBED INTO MY BODY. I KNOW IM NOT CRAZY I SEE TINY BLACK SPECS ON MY COVERS AFTER I USE THAT CREAM BUT THATS IT. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO TO GET HELP. I WANT TO LIVE, PLAY WITH MY TWO GRANDSONS. I WANT TO FEEL BETTER, LOOK BETTER, I HAVE SERIOUSLY LOST ALL HOPE. I DONT WANT TO DIE, BUT EVERYDAY IS A STRUGGLE FOR ME AND I FEEL LIKE I AM SLOWLY DYEING AND MY HEART HAS TO BE WEARING OUT. NOONE WANTS TO LISTEN TO ME. HOW DO I MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND? I DONT WANT TO BE THIS WAY. ITS HORRIBLE. I WANT TO WORK AGAIN, ENJOY LIFE AGAIN. I LIVE IN CLEARWATER FLORIDA RIGHT NOW, BUT BEFORE LIVED IN GEORGIA ALL OF MY LIFE. IS THERE ANYWAY FOR ME TO GET HELP? DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? I AM DESTITUTE AND LITERALLY DYEING AND DONT KNOW HOW TO GET ANY DECENT HEALTH CARE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

SINCERELY,
