The girl who cannot pee!

Auckland

As some of you may know I have been struggling immensely with my physical health and I need your help. I have been struggling with recurrent bladder and kidney infections requiring frequent GP and urgent care visits, regularly needing antibiotics, needing a lot of painkillers and being in a lot of chronic physical discomfort.

These health issues have now transformed into a more complex problem which has led to me having Recurrent and severe urinary retention requiring the longer term use catheters , Frequent severe pelvic and lower back pain, A nasty bladder and kidney infection requiring hospitalisation, Urinary urgency and Constant burning bladder pain even when there is no infection present.

These struggles have drastically changed my life. I feel a sense of hopelessness, I am fatigued all the time because of the constant pain I am in and I am at a point where I need answers but the public health waiting list is backed up and I need to seek privately funded relief now.

I have been quoted $360 for the initial private consultation with a urologist which I am currently awaiting an appt date to be set. After that I’ll be offered a quote for explorative tests and have been warned this can be very expensive (in the thousands)

All I know is that I can’t go on like this much longer. I need help in paying the private consultation fee and with my ongoing medical bills.

Thank You for your help in getting the medical care I desperately need xx

Love- Riyah xo

Awaiting specialist!  3 February 2025

Hi guys so an update for you all.

My GP has referred me to a private urologist and I am currently waiting for an appointment. My hope is that this appointment will come quickly because going on months with a catheter and no medical answer is NOT FUN. I am still battling a nasty bladder infection and inability to urinate so your donations towards my ongoing medical care are greatly appreciated

Much love!
