Hi my name is Courtney , I am a single mom to a 5 year old boy who is absolutely amazing.  I have had a job since I was 12 years old , spent the last 13 years working in a factory and destroying my body.  I had to quit my job and focus on my health.  I have been in and out of hospitals.  Tests have been ran diagonisis have been given, I have autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Interstitial cystitis . Osteoarthritis.  C spine and T spine Spondylosis.  Hypermobile elhers danlos syndrome.  They are still currently thinking something else is going on and I have multiple scheduled specialist appointments ahead.  Since I have worked so hard and so independently my whole life.  I am so terrified to ask my friends and family for help. The judgements of it all while trying to navigate my new life and not being able to work. Waiting to see if I was approved for disability.  My bills have fallen behind and I feel so lost.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this.
