My life was destroyed by a young girl texting and driving

24 doctors gaslit me until the 25th confirmed my self diagnosis after viewing my imaging. She happened to be a specialist regarding the injury/condition I have as she had lived the same story when she was younger. My condition is called Cranio Cervical instability. This resulted in severe whiplash from a car accident caused by a young girl texting and driving. My injury is severe due to a medical condition I was born with called Hyper-mobile Ethers Danlos Syndrome (some may know of this as “double jointed” but there is no such thing as double jointed). My connective tissue is fragile and acts more like chewing gum than a rubber band. It affects my joints, my skin, and healing. When I am injured, things take 10x as long to heal as they would on someone without this condition, or I cannot recover at all if the trauma is too severe as it is now, in my current state. I have been housebound for years and even simple movements like walking down the stairs can cause my vertebrae to move out of place in my neck and cut off blood flow and cervical spine fluid to my brain. Because I wasn’t diagnosed for so long, I also have Post traumatic epilepsy that is triggered by severe light flashing, stress, THINKING, medication or even staying awake too long.I will have seizures, stutter, become frantic, angry, feel like im losing my mind or slur my words when my brain becomes overwhelmed and i have ZERO control over it. When my neck is out, I also cannot walk normally, I have severe vertigo, tinnitus, confusion, trigeminal nerve pain (which I nearly ended my life over) and incredibly unbearable head and neck pain. When I was diagnosed officially they couldnt believe how any of the prior doctors had missed all of my injuries. I had fractures to nearly all of my upper cervical spine, ligaments completely torn (my muscles are what is holding my neck in place and they get fatigued and let go if im upright too long) my EYES were struck so hard by my brain that they changed shape (this is another injury im STILL advocating to get help for) as I have pain and vision issues that have been untreated/ignored. I was born with Chiari one malformation (my brain is too large for my skull and hangs into my neck) and was asymptomatic until this accident and now deal with that as well as dysautonomia. I uploaded a cartoon diagram of what is happening in my neck to help people understand it more. Please feel free to take a look. The third procedure is to address the instability of my lower lumbar spine, as I was struck by an elderly man, as a pedestrian only 2 months after this car accident. I have been alone in this journey as some of my family has told me to “just go back to work” and “just get over it”. They have refused to accept that there is anything wrong with me and their internalized capitalism/productive need has been projected onto me as they cannot SEE my condition. Ive even losts friends due to their ableism. I have suffered so much physically, financially and emotionally as a result of someones refusal to just wait to answer their texts. Prior to this happening to me I was a successful hairstylist. I worked in multiple cities and on celebrity clientele. I have lost almost everything I have worked for. I have sold as many of my belongings as I could, I have tried to contact charities for help but NONE of them have my condtion listed on any of their cites, nor do they understand it. I have tried EVERYTHING. I lost my dog in the middle of all of this and the other is nearing his end. Life has been so unbearable hard and heartbreaking. I need help.The light at the end of the tunnel is that there is a procedure that can CURE my neck injury. It’s called a PICL or Percutaneous Implantation of the CCJ Ligaments. Injecting my own stem cells into my neck through the inside of the back of my throat to aid my body in healing the injury before it becomes untreatable, which will result in the injury progressing and even an earlier death. I am only 38 years old. I do not want to die and I want to LIVE my life again. I want to run again, I want to play with my dogs and not worry about injury from small movements. I want to be able to leave my house. Anything helps me get to my goal. This site is a registered nonprofit and it SAFER to donate to than GoFundMe as they verify with my doctors etc about my condition in order to approve the funding site. and send money directly to medical providers (Many have said they don’t like the site) Please look into it further before bypassing it. I need several treatments for my neck to heal. My doctor has proclaimed “Worst neck injury I have ever seen in a patient” so many times that I would kill to stop hearing it, so I may hear “Most miraculous recoveries”. My fate is in the hands of my community. Thank you for taking the time to read, and thank you for donating.
