Hello, friends, this is Shebuah on behalf of my family in a desperate attempt to save my little sister Jezreel's life. She is suffering from an excruciatingly painful medical condition that world class physicians and neurologists through Sharp Health Care, UCSD, and specialists at Scripp's La Jolla have been unable to diagnose or treat for the past 18 months.
She has been in agony every day, and has stated that she can't take the pain much longer, and we are afraid for her life. We already lost our 19-year-old brother, Michael, to suicide in 1996, and can't bear to lose Jez too!
First of all, THANK YOU for taking the time to read our story. Below are some pictures of her, our family, and details of her illness. We are asking for anyone who is willing to help us fight for her life, please read her symptoms below and:

Before:
Before the onset of her illness: Jezreel & her Fiancé Jason Chandler take advantage of their day off work at the Oceanside, California Beach... Prior to her illness, Jezreel was a driven, professional executive sales manager, and mentored other young women on keys to success. |

Since the beginning of 2008, Jez has been unable to shower herself without assistance from our sister Rosetta, who is now 7 months pregnant. She can't sit up for more than 15 min., or cook for herself. At times, the pain is so bad, she can hardly breathe. Jezreel has had thoughts of dying since January due to the severity of her pain, in spite of several medications.
Her Primary Care Physician, Dr. Novak, (Sharp Health Care, San Diego) wrote a referral for Jezreel to be seen at the Mayo clinic. Her Neurologist and two Rheumatologists, (UCSD, Scripps) suggested that she was beyond their field of medicine and would benefit from Mayo Clinic's specialized treatment, but... The referral was denied by her insurance (Pacific Care) because it is "Out of Network..." |
After:
"The pain gets so bad I can hardly breathe..." |

Originally, the Dr. thought muscle spasms were causing the pain, and
sent her to physical therapy, but her pain kept increasing;
she was forced to quit work and is bed-ridden.
Patient seen by
Dr. Kaye, Rheumatologist, who stated a possibility
of Spondalo Arthropathy, but her symptoms don't match. Jez states that various areas of her body that feel fine when
she goes to bed, feel like she had been badly beaten upon arising:
(collar bone, ribs) and can't do anything all day.
For approximately 6 weeks, her shoulder pain was so bad, she couldn't
raise her arms above shoulder level and had to have her sister dress
her. She would awaken in the middle of the night feeling like someone
had run over her hands and feet. After about a month, that that pain
subsided and was replaced with locking joints in her jaw and fingers. Lyrica provided temporary partial relief of those symptoms.
