Hi, my name is Heather.  I am 31 years old.  I was born with a rare genetic vascular malformation known as glomuvenous malformations.  Here is some information about my condition:

http://www.gosh.nhs.uk/medical-conditions/search-for-medical-conditions/glomuvenous-malformations/glomuvenous-malformations-information/

My malformation appears on my entire right arm: thumb, palm, forearm, upper arm, and onto my right chest.  They appear as little raised blue blebs.  

Due to my condition I am suffering from chronic pain (about a 7 every day).  This worsens due to weather, hormonal changes, strenenous activites, and if the sites are touched/hit.  

Since I was 11 I have had 7 procedures and surgeries.  In 2011-2012 I had 2 sclerotherapies and 1 resection.  However, the relief from these surgeries was short lived and I have since begun to suffer once more.  The most problematic is the weakness in my hand and wrist.  

My doctor suggested that I try a compression stocking instead of another procedure.  I tried one in high school and it helped tremondously.  However, the company does not accept my insurance and with my limited income  I can not afford it on my own.  

Please help me.  

Thank you for reading my story.  May God bless and keep you always.
