My name is Lebogang Mogale, I am 26 years old and originally from Limpopo. I am currently staying in Alberton, Gauteng, and have been bedridden since January this year. Before January, I was healthy and working hard towards my qualification. I was supposed to graduate in June, but instead, I have spent months battling severe and unexplained health problems. I became seriously ill during the first week of January. I developed a severe cough with yellow phlegm, struggled to breathe at night, experienced excessive heat while sleeping, and had acid coming out of my mouth. Since then, my health has changed completely. I have experienced symptoms including severe body shocks, shaking, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, blood rushing to my head, adrenaline-like episodes, swelling of my tongue and throat, diarrhoea, nausea, painful veins and joints, a burning sensation throughout my body, dry eyes and severe digestive problems. For about four months, I struggled to eat because of the swelling of my tongue. At times, I survived mainly on yoghurt, and sometimes I could not eat at all. I am now mostly bedridden. When I try to stand or walk, I become extremely dizzy and feel as though I may faint. My heart starts racing, my legs feel as though blood is pooling in them, and I struggle to breathe properly. I also experience severe digestive problems, including bloating, nausea, acid reflux and diarrhoea. Food can feel as though it remains in my stomach for hours. Since January, I have visited Thelle Mogoerane Hospital, Charlotte Maxeke Academic Hospital, Steve Biko Academic Hospital and various clinics numerous times. Despite undergoing blood tests, I have repeatedly been sent home because the results were reportedly normal. Some doctors have suggested anxiety or reflux, but I continue to experience debilitating physical symptoms. One doctor raised the possibility of dysautonomia/POTS, a condition involving dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, which can affect heart rate, blood pressure, digestion and other bodily functions. I am also seeking assessment for conditions such as gastroparesis and MCAS, but I need qualified specialists to properly investigate and diagnose me. I am urgently asking for help finding specialists in Gauteng who have experience with POTS/dysautonomia and related conditions, particularly a cardiologist/electrophysiologist, neurologist, gastroenterologist and allergist/immunologist. If you are a specialist who may be able to assist Lebogang, or if you know a doctor or medical team in Gauteng with experience in these conditions, please reach out. If you cannot assist medically, please share this post so that it can reach the right people. Lebogang desperately wants to regain her health and continue with the life she had worked so hard to build.

@SABC_Sport Since @OfficialPSL is delaying VAR, can the referees be given permission to check the slow motions videos on the cameras. @SAFA_net @FIFAcom @AndileNcube @GaytonMcK
