Hello, I stumbled upon this site searching for help with home repairs.  I am 46 years old, married, and have two teenage children.  My husband has 4 kids ranging in age from mid 30's to 17.  If I were to read my own story, I would think that it had to be fictitious because no one has that much bad luck.  I will not even bother to go into detail about past situations, because it would BE a book!!! I think I will start with my physical ailments.  A few years ago I had to have a hysterectomy for growths.  It turns out that one of these growths was a very rare form of cancer. Luckily it was not an aggressive type and the treatment is to have a hysterectomy!!  None the less, it was a very scary time.  For some reason, the doctor who performed the surgery did not "believe" in using the usual drugs for pain management and talked me into using a spinal for this purpose. Unfortunately, my body did not appreciate this.  I remember waking up after the surgery and not being able to breath and before I passed out again, I had the pleasure of being ventilated while semiconscious.  Long story short-The second day I went back to work, I had a grand Mal seizure.  Back out of work i went, this time with a new and improved ailment.  I was put on drugs that made me a zombie, and after 3 months went back to work.  2 weeks of work and yep another grand Mal seizure.  I was out of work once again.  After two years, I finally stopped having severe seizures and started working again. I went back to work for the same place and all was good.  Then one day out of the blue, I had a bout of shortness of breath.  I also noticed that I had some very odd sores on my  arms, and they had some very strange looking hair growing out of them. As time went on more and more symptoms appeared.  I went to several doctors and, for the most part they told me it was....stress, self induced, stress, a virus, dry skin, anxiety, age, stress, looking for attention...need I go on.  I started doing my own research and realized that what i might have is  morgellons disease. This horrible malady is not even listed as a disease.  Most people who claim to have it are automatically told they are delusional.  This is not the case but that is what most of us are told.  I can assure you, I am not delusional, but infected with something that causes open sores on my body that do not heal, short term memory loss, severe fatigue, intestinal problems, respiratory problems, personality changes, brain fog or forgetfulness..the list is bigger, but I think you will get the point.  I became progressively worse, and in the middle of all this, I decided to take a different job.  Some days it was so hard to even get out of bed, but i managed to keep up and felt that even though I was suffering, my work was not.  Then last summer, one of the people that i did work for decided to go back to their country of origin.  About a week after this decision, all of a sudden my work was just not good enough.  I was criticized about everything I did, scolded, forced to produce document after document stating what I did minute by minute. I got yelled at for not doing things that I had implemented in the first place, endured people that I worked for changing their minds about what they wanted from me,,blah blah blah. One week before  Christmas, and a few days before this person left, believing that I was going to discuss family leave because my son had a MRSA infection, i was greeted with a room full of people.  it seems that I was now criminal, accused of falsifying my time worked. I was put on the colleges do not hire list, lost 15 years worth of severance pay, lost my insurance, lost the partial tuition benefit , and when I tried to grievance this, these people pretty much made it impossible to do.  Funny, I was never charged with theft and the evidence they used were emails that I sent saying that i was not or would not be at work.  Hmm, that's like calling a store to tell them you are stopping by to do a little shoplifting.  I can not collect unemployment because the college refused.  BAD huh.  Well 2 weeks after I was fired, my husband received a call telling him that he was not going to get called back after his normal winter lay off....reason-they wanted to hire someone younger, and also that he was absent too much.   So here we are, no jobs a small check of 150 for four people per week and the biggest reason i am writing this.  Several years ago, we had a house fire.  We could only afford a trailer after all was said and done.  The trailer was well used and 12 years old when we got it.  Through the years, it has slowly deteriorated to the point of being a health hazard.  Th floors are rotting, the electric is totally messed- have had 2 small fires,  the windows leak, the insulation is almost gone in the walls, and totally gone underneath(flood) the furnace and duct work don't work or have fallen apart.  The plumbing leaks,and over the winter the entire area was infested with a rat clan.  We have tried everything to get rid of them, but like many others around us, we are not making much progress----they have chewed holes everywhere.  We are in desperate need of a new manufactured home, but with no jobs and no money we are pretty much destitute.  I am having a very hard time finding a job because of my physical problems and the fact that I was accused of financial irregularities.  Did I mention that I think the trailer may have black mold from all of the leaks??  I know this sounds to far fetched to be true, but it is, and I am living it.  I am scared, embarrassed about the house, and feel so bad for my kids who can't even have a friend over because the house is falling apart.  I can't write anymore so I am going to stop( that is part of the fatigue)  I can sum this word vomit that I just wrote with one simple word  HELP
