Jonathan Gutierrez is trying to raise funds for his medical
treatment and gradually work from home with an online business.
Dallas, TX – July 15, 2015 – Jonathan Gutierrez is trying
to raise funds for medical treatment.
He’s been battling symptoms of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome
and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for over 10
years, along with Erb's Palsy and Repetitive Strain Injuries. He is disabled
and unable to work, and his social security application was denied.
POTS is a type of
dysautonomia, which is a dysfunction of the Autonomic Nervous System.
Johnathan’s symptoms include severe and debilitating fatigue, difficulty
thinking/concentrating, heart palpitations, sleep disturbances,
lightheadedness, many new food sensitivities, mild disequilibrium, vision
problems, chronic indigestion, muscle aches, muscle wasting/weight loss, mood
swings, anxiety, blood pressure problems, heat and cold intolerance, and
orthostatic intolerance. He also has lots of allergies which are not
well-controlled by medication and exacerbate my symptoms. The word syndrome is
used when doctors don't know the cause, but thankfully there are treatment
options. Jonathan also injured his right arm over the years by working with one
arm on the computer. This caused severe RSI (repetitive strain injuries) on his
right arm as well. As you can imagine, this just adds another layer of
disability and despair.
He does not have
insurance, but many of his treatment options would not be covered anyway. They
have spent many years and thousands of dollars just to reach some kind of
diagnosis. His now elderly parents have gone above and beyond the call of duty
despite their own problems, including complications of diabetes, cardiac
disease, and injuries. They're pretty much out of options, hence this
fundraiser.
The road to full
recovery will likely be a long one. God-willing, as his health improves, Jonathan
will work on getting his life back. Since it will likely be some time before he
could work at a regular job, he plans to gradually work from home with an
online business. Therefore, any remaining funds will be used to launch a
website so he can regain my livelihood.
