➸ If Tumblr Can Help a Guy Get a Chicken...

Hello. My name is Neoma Lindley, and I live with a condition called ‘pseudo-tumor cerebri’, a form of IIH (idiopathic inter-cranial hypertension). This condition causes severe migraines, vision problems, and at times leaves me in such pain that I can’t function.

Treatment for this condition is a lumbar puncture and tap, to remove excess cerebral-spinal fluid. However, this procedure is expensive, and since my mother’s death last April, I have not been able to afford a tap, meaning my inter-cranial pressure is very high, and I am struggling to function.

With out treatment, I am experiencing radical and continual vision loss. I really need help.

I need this tap, and I need it as soon as possible, but without aid there is no way way for me to get it. Every little bit helps, you have no idea — if four thousand people can spare a single dollar to me, I’ll be in the clear for this procedure.

Two parts here: One, to get this person necessary medical treatment. Two: to ask why this person (and others) don’t have access to necessary medical treatment.
