unbalanced

I'm feeling very physically unbalanced and I am wondering how long it will take to get back to the stage I was at before these tests. I've enrolled in a research study through the University of California San Diego and have an interview in two weeks to see if I will be accepted. It pays $10 an hour! The study lasts 2 years.

I'm getting rather worried that as I am getting to the stage where I am getting diagnosed and need to see further specialists, this is no longer possible. My resources are sorely stretched beyond my means even for the services I am getting. I am not even able to sign up for medicare because I don't have the money to get a California drivers license and ID. And even if I could, I am only eligible until I am 21, which is soon. How am I to get well enough to go to school and work full time if I can't get medical care and no one will help me? I'm not even eligible for unemployment, health insurance, disability, or social care programs! I'm living off credit. And I have no one to co-sign for me to get a medical loan from the bank. Life is scaring me.
