Hello,
I have finished the first and most difficult section of my hsl...please please :shy:please let me know your thoughts...is it considered strong enough. Thank you to ratito i used her lettter as an example, but i am using different information.
Medical Hardships:
I, silymaury, currently have excellent medical, dental, and vision coverage through my employer xx. It is imperative that I continue to have health insurance because of my various medical needs.
I suffer from a condition known as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, PCOS. PCOS is a health problem that can affect a woman’s menstrual cycle, ability to have children, hormones, heart, blood vessels, and appearance. With PCOS, women typically have high levels of androgens also know as male hormones, but women produce them as well, missed or irregular menstrual cycles, and small cysts of fluid filled sacs on the ovaries. There are many health risks associated with PCOS such as; a higher rate of miscarriage, gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced high blood pressure, or premature delivery. Other health risks that may be life threatening to women who are diagnosed with PCOS are; type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, heart attack, cancer, high blood pressure, and high levels of cholesterol.
I was diagnosed with PCOS at age thirteen. After I married mr. silymaury, a year went by and we weren’t able to conceive a child, I went to my doctor and she mentioned that PCOS was the cause of my infertility. Since 2005 I have been undergoing fertility treatments using Metformin, Prometrium or Provera, and Clomid. After six unsuccessful treatments, we still have not been able to conceive. In order for me to conceive, I need to undergo further fertility treatments, which could involve surgery, stronger medications including self injections, or laboratory assistance for fertilization and implantation. These treatments and medications are very expensive. The insurance through my employer, pays for most treatments leaving me the expense of co-pays on office visits and prescriptions. If my husband were not allowed to return to the Unites States, it would be impossible for me to continue these treatments on my own. If I were to move to Mexico I wouldn’t have insurance to help reduce costs. It is important that I conceive a child soon to help reduce the future risks of PCOS. If I become pregnant, my pregnancy would be considered high risk, since I would be susceptible to miscarriage or high blood pressure, or diabetes since my mom has had both while she was pregnant. I know that In the United States, I have many hospitals to choose from that would care for the baby’s and my medical needs. In my husband’s town San Jose Iturbide Guanajuato, the hospitals are limited to five in the area and the one that could offer the best care is forty-five minutes away in Queretaro, Queretaro. The infant mortality rate in Mexico is nineteen deaths out of one thousand live births compared to the United States six out of one thousand live births. I need to be with my husband to bring a child into this world with a father at his side. Additionally, if I am unable to work, he has to provide for the family.
Also, I was recently diagnosed with insomnia due to anxiety and large amount of stress. I am taking Ambien, also known as Zolpidem, to help me sleep. Anxiety could lead to depression which in turn at extremely high levels has lead other to suicide. Currently I am dealing with anxiety without medication. However, if this anxiety is not controlled or worsens by not having my husband with me, I will need to take medication to help control it.
Additionally, I suffer from allergic rhinitis which is an inflammation of the nasal passages usually associated with watery nasal discharge and the itching of the nose and eyes. These allergies are triggered by dust particles indoors or outdoors, pollen, and animal dander. If I were to move to Mexico, my allergy risks in my husband’s home town of San Jose Iturbide Guanajuato, would be higher since there a large quantity of toxic waste in the area, leading to toxic particles in the air.
My mother silymaury's mom suffers from Lupus. She was diagnosed with lupus in 1998. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (skin, joints, and/or internal organs.) Lupus is hereditary to ten percent of first line relatives for example daughters. Lupus has many risks such as heart disease the number one killer in women, high blood pressure, type II diabetes, high cholesterol, joint and muscle pain. Due to lupus affecting the immune system, people with lupus tend to be more susceptible to any virus such as the common cold or flu. Since being diagnosed with lupus, my mother has had heart disease, problems with her thyroid, kidney failure in which she required a transplant, and currently high blood pressure. All of these conditions could be hereditary to me. It is important for me to stay in the United States and make sure that I have proper medical care to diagnose these disease at an early stage.
In the United States, I have access to many healthcare providers in various fields that could help me continue treatment for my medical needs now and in the future. I have health insurance to help me lower the costs. However, with my other financial needs, it is becoming difficult for me to purchase medicines or continue going to the doctor without my husband here for financial support. Not only do I need my husband by my side for financial support, but also for emotional support since my PCOS and infertility, are conditions that depress me for not being able to bear a child.
