jinxykatgirl Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hi everyone! I moved to Sturgis from Lapeer around 6 months ago and it has been a nightmare trying to get a caregiver and meds. I'm looking for a compassionate and reliable caregiver, meds, P2P, overages...any help I can get. I have been disabled and unable to work since 2007, so very low income. I suffer from Systemic Lupus which has attacked nearly every organ in my body including nervous system and brain. I also have Epilepsy, Bipolar, PTSD and suffer from severe chronic pain, nausea, vomiting, anxiety and panic attacks. I'm a mess. I'm sure hoping someone can help me. I've been out of meds for quite awhile and am having to eat pain killers like candy, which is causing other issues. Jinxykat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmatter Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Wow I am surprised nobody has helped yet. I would help if I had some overage. Funny thing is I don't think I know anyone that can help right now either. More than a couple caregivers I know are having serious heat issues atm, and others are recovering from some minor horticultural problems. Somebody help this woman out plz!

jinxykatgirl Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Thank you so very much Darkmatter! Yup, I'm still here looking but no luck yet. I sure appreciate you trying to help me! Planning on going to the farmers market tomorrow. Hopefully i can get a great deal on meds there. It's been so long since I've been out, a bag of shake would look pretty darn good to me now! LOL Wow I am surprised nobody has helped yet. I would help if I had some overage. Funny thing is I don't think I know anyone that can help right now either.

jinxykatgirl Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hi Tarzan! I am going to the farmers market tomorrow in Jackson. Hoping I can come up with something as my pain is getting way out of control. Since I am going tomorrow, do you think you could put in a good word for me? I would love love love to get some for free if at all possible but I'm desperate and not wanting to leave there empty handed. I've got to come home with something. Wish me luck?

ToadInCan Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 You're a saint, tarzan! I'll cover you on that. If someone can help this patient in need of meds, I'll make sure you get compensated. I hear what darkmatter was sayin about summer time growing in Michigan. It presents a whole new set of problems. I was pretty close to the bone myself a couple weeks ago, but I could help out now if anyone could share their harvest with this patient in need.

jinxykatgirl Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Wow, thank you all so much tarzan, darkmatter and toadincan!!! It really warms my heart to see so much compassion!!! I had some bad experiences with a different forum site. So glad I found MMMA, it's the best!! So many great people here that really do care about the patients and bluebery obviously works so hard for all of us!! I'm so proud to be a member of this group!!! Guys, I can't thank you enough, all 3 of you are saints to me!!! :bow: :goodjob: You're a saint, tarzan! I'll cover you on that.

JohnB RPh Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 You have a card, correct? Could you arrange to get to Niles, MI? I could donate something to get you by temporarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinxykatgirl Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 You have a card, correct? Could you arrange to get to Niles, MI? I could donate something to get you by temporarily. Hi John and thanks for the message! Wow, I might just be able to do that. I'm not allowed to drive myself due to seizures but I might be able to get my boyfriend to drive me out there. I sure do appreciate the offer. We tried going to the farmers market today and when we got there, everyone was gone. That was a huge disappointment as my pain is getting way out of control. If you are around tomorrow I might be able to convince to do another short road trip. He is asleep for the night but I will check in the morning and let you know. Thank you so much! jinxykat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you in Calhoun county? Doesn't look like we are too far apart. I am disabled and very low income, would like to talk more to see if we might be a good match.
