I'm in Canada with longviral Epstein-Barr myalgic encephalomyelitis and my health care is also a GoFundMe. I'm staying alive month to month(have been for years now since I ran through a $45,000 debt window on medical expense) which is terrifying And it's absolutely destroying my resiliency

If you can share any or all of these links that would be amazing. Oh and if you're wanting to know why I'm in this situation in a country that's supposed to have universal health care, there are links in the additional resources of the petition to gender bias in research and you'll see in the petition body how that gender bias (as myalgic encephalomyelitis afflicts women at higher rates than men), means that no Canadian province even as a healthcare MSP category of coverage number, and that means we don't have stats or physician education to precipitate research So we have tests and treatments

I'm so far outside my energy envelope trying to advocate especially on minimal health supports. I have a zoom submission to the British Columbia budget committee on June 17th. I'm doing everything I know how to fight. No one should be in this situation, in any country.
