I hope this isn't too far out there -- I'm brand new to the board and don't want to be out of line or worrisome or triggering to anyone. If it is, someone please tell me.
Has anyone else literally not been able to afford ANY treatment? I'm on disability with NO extra $ each month, on Medicaid, and no one I can borrow from. I genuinely don't have a choice here.
What are other people doing, if anyone here is in the same situation? I'm too sick to work right now, but not too sick to generally take care of myself just yet. Cognitive/neuro symptoms are popping up pretty regularly/quickly recently, though, so I'm worried about how quickly things might progress.
My honest thought is to stick around until quality of life becomes intolerable and then put myself out of my own misery. I have family who would be devastated, but I'm sure they would already be devastated by what was happening, so hopefully they would understand if/when things get that bad.
I'm sorry if I'm freaking anyone out. I'm not in any danger right now, though, so no concern necessary!
