Are there any organizations that help pay for cat scans, etc.?

I have recently started having seizures. I am 51 years old. The first one began while I was sound asleep. I woke up feeling sick to my stomach and ran to the bathroom. I do not remember getting there but my husband heard me hit the floor. I was blocking the door so that he was unable to get in to me. The episode lasted for approximately 40 minutes. My doctor has taken some tests that we are barely able to pay for and now says that I need to be checked for an anurysm. I am told that these tests can cost thousands of dollars. We can not afford even hundreds of dollars. Do any of you know of any organizations that would help me?

Yes walk into the hospital and ask for programs, do you have insurance if not u can sign up for medicaid good luck with everything keep your diet healty with fruits and veggies, stay away from the soda and good luck

The hospital you visit may have a fund set up for people who are unable to pay for treatments like those you require. It won't hurt to ask....

Good luck.
