Mystery medical issues I can’t afford to diagnose
Post Body

I (22f) have had increasing medical issues and because of a lack of finances I haven’t been able to know what’s happening to me. Just little bits and pieces they can tell me at the ER when a problem gets to be more then I can handle. I listed all my medical issues out and was told my organs may be beginning to shut down, if so I have no idea where to even begin with getting better or who to go to so I’m here. Since 5th grade and onward I’ve had chronic cluster migraines behind my right eye. Still not sure of a cause but used to be prescribed preventative medication incase I felt one coming on. If I missed my medicine I’d hav to either throw up or try to sleep it off and they last hours. For a couple years now I have been in and out of the ER with Sepsis or infections with mystery origin that have brought me to the brink of sepsis. I’ve been hospitalized up to 10 days at a time. After a while we figured out it’s coming from my kidneys. It’s most likely something called Metabolic Lactic Acidosis. Aka my kidneys are pumping my body full of lactic acid for an unknown reason. Last week I went in to the doctor for fluid and pressure in my ears that hadn’t gotten better in over a month and a half. Turns out my lung function/oxynization (spelling?) levels are at only 80%. They said to quit vaping and I go back in a couple of days. Apparently this counts as hypoxemia and is the first stage of lung failure? I also have been having 2 heavy heavy periods a month when I normally have one average period per month. I feel fatigued often and probably do not treat my body the best. I smoke daily even though I quit nicotine. I used to be a competitive dancer and I haven’t worked out in over a year. I can’t keep weight on myself. Please if anyone knows what’s happening or any advice let me know. Thank you so much. Money is a bitch

TLDR: 22f, 5’8”, 110lbs, have chronic cluster migraines, kidney disease possibly metabolic lactic acidosis that gives me sepsis, 80% lung function, extremely heavy bleeding during periods, fatigue, and rapid weight loss. Don’t have money for true diagnosis or treatment
