I am a 49 year old Intersex man with female genital. I am insulin dependent I also have Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS).  I can no longer walk I depend on a power chair, as well I am have lost the use of my bladder and 50% of my bowels. I have visual issues as well anything from blurred to eyes that jump. The fatigue that I live with is overwhelming. Sensory issues are as follow; I have a delay in pain, by the time I feel it I could have cut myself or burn myself. To have someone touch me will drive me crazy, my skin feels at time like it is crawling or I have the pins and needle in the hands arms and face.  There are many other things that I face on a daily bases with SPMS some of them I will admit has brought me down to the point I was thinking they would shoot a horse that felt better then this. This past year has been hard for me to deal with however I have never been a quitter. I know that my illness is a progressive one, however I am not ready to stop living and I am now working on creating a new aptitude about life. I am now looking at this life I live as a challenge. I am working on retaking my life back from SPMS. I am learning that it is okay to ask for help, that I do not have to do this alone. I am also learning that asking for help does not make me a weak person. I also know that I have a lot to give to the world on a whole. I can and will be a productive person again. I may not be able to give and do like I use to but I still have a lot to give… It may take me longer to get a task done, however I have all the time in the world. When those day I can not pick myself I can now push a button and get some help and that it does not make me any less of human being. I am learning to use the adaptive equipment with pride not shame.

I'm in pain physically and emotionally while I'm typing this so I'm hoping what I have to say comes out right. I'm going through a tremendous amount of issues right now and I really need some help but have the most trouble finding somewhere to turn. I have a rare pain syndrome that is not commonly heard of. It's called vulvodynia. It causes me excruciating  & debilitating pain. At one time I experienced it almost every second of every day for the last several years. There's no cure or even any sure way of knowing the exact cause....it makes you miserable and unsure of ur life from day to day. I also suffer from depression.

 The vulvodynia pain, I guess u could say is comparable to nerve damage pain (which is in fact what it seems to be in my case). I don't know if I'll ever be free of this situation again but for the time being the only thing most recently that has been helping me to function enough and not suffer this every single day as before is the Cymbalta medicine I've been taking. I also believe in holistic methods but nothing else so far helped relieve the extreme pain and I have a young child to care for. I have tried many many medications & have been & felt like somewhat of a guinea pig. This situation started for me around the age of 19 and I am now in my 30's (Off and on during that period of time). I cannot work because of these disabling situations and I receive SS disability once a month.

 I tried to fill my prescription for my medication and for reasons beyond my control (some error of some sort), my insurance that covers it was off and will take at least a month to be corrected. My medicine costs $163 that I don't have. Making matters worse, I am in a period in which the pain is at it's worse (which happens sometimes) and this is the worse time for me to be without my medicine. I can't find anyplace to get it free or get samples. I NEED HELP.

 I am behind in my rent $227. I have bills I am behind in that is $191. My glasses are old and broken (I'm very nearsighted and the type of glasses I get cost me $350-$400), My child's birthday is here, I have no money to give him anything right now and that in and of it self is so hard (he's a great kid and I love him dearly)and I have little money for the basics of food (which has just been getting more and more expensive). My medicaid was cut a long time ago because they sent the recert to the wrong address, I've tried to apply since then and all I get is the run around. Food stamps is the same thing. I'm just TIRED and I neeed HELP PLEASE SOMEBODY. If u hear me and u can, please help. I am humble and appreciative. Thank You

My husband is blind, receiving social security disabilty checks.  He has a part time job. He is also trying to work from the home and got involved with a online work opportunity. This work involved cashing a check for an overseas textile manufacturer. After receipt of a check, I took  it to my bank to cash. The bank cashed this check, giving me cash and then later determined that the check was fraudulent.  This put a strain on my account.  Now my bank account does not have the funds needed to pay our bills. Help!!
