Dear all friends at crohn's forum
I am so happy for your sharing to my problems and pains. I Bishnu Prasad Acharya ,age 64 came to usa from overseas Nepal 2years ago. I am a jobless and uninsured person. I have been suffering from stomach pains for last many years. I came here in hope of best treatment. But the situation didn't favour me. we people couldn't be affordable for treatment. I became hopeless and despressed. As saying "When there is a will there is a way." believing in God, we tried in search of charity organisation. In course of time we found Care ring and Medassist. These organisations are helping me for my treatment I have no words to express my indebtedness to these benevolent organisations. They are my Gods which gave me an energy and hope to live my life. I was diaognosed with crohn/s disease on 08/03/2011 after colonoscopy and endoscopy done.( Reports say:- burning reflux, chronic gastritis, crohn's iletis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, RLQ abdominal Pain). Care ring in Charlotte has provided me reachout program to visit doctors. Every tests are provided to me with a nominal charge.Medassist in charlotte has provided me medications without any charge. I currently are taking pentasa 500mg 4 cap 2 times a day, Nexium40mg 1 cap 2 times a day metronidazole250mg 1tab 3 times a day. diovan80mg 1 tab a day and ativan 1mg 1 tab as needed. I have felt a bit better in my digestive system.after taking prescribed medications. Now I am in search of my community and charity organisation which can help me and sharing to me. I also introduce myself as a greencard holder of usa. Now I am going to open my heart frankly. I have got some treatments and medications in this beautiful country by the help of certain charitable organisations like CareRing and Medassist.They are my godfathers. Because of uninsured situation I have to wait for appointment with gastroentrologist or expert long. I cann't make early appointment as I needed. So I have to live my life in agony. while I got pain or need to visit doctors,I cann't do it then and there.This is my real situation. I am in search of such charitable organisations or people which can help me for my early check up and tests as needed. Otherside I also want to make network of community in which we can share problems and pains each other. I am not full informative about such matters. I hope and sure that you would be responsive in this regard. I hope ,I surely get more information about it from you on the ground of humanity. I am looking forward to hearing you soon.
Best regards
Bishnu Prasad Acharya
