Save my health & home from mold!

Donation protected
I had already been dealing with several serious conditions from previous antibiotic damage when I took several more rounds  3 years ago that left me in the fight for my life. 
This poison known as “Cipro”,a Fluoroquinolone Antibiotic,ripped through my system causing wide-spread nerve,muscle & organ damage & exacerbated all of the pre-existing issues. 
I just thought I hurt before this but what I’m experiencing now I can’t even describe! 
I spent the first 2 years being evaluated &/or treated by so many specialists I’ve lost count.
I tried numerous things including surgeries on both hands to try & save the 15% function I had left in them. 
But it wasn’t just my hands that were so damaged & each Specialist I saw delivered more bad news with no real answers in sight.
I finally came to the realization there is no cure or even a treatment close to repairing all this damage these drugs caused.

My body is so badly damaged-I can no longer tolerate any more procedures or even medications for symptom management because I’m so toxic & ill. 

The few options left available were just not going to work for me like assisted living & ambulatory aids such as a wheelchair.
It had become abundantly clear that I was further risking my health each time I tried anything new.  Even foods I’ve eaten my entire life can trigger a severe reaction that might keep me down for weeks. 
From one day to the next I never know how my body will be & if I can function enough to get out of bed. 

One year ago I was told there’s nothing left they can do for me. 
Exhausted & discouraged-I’d finally had enough-I would take my health into my own hands & seek out alternative methods to heal. 
It was at this time I began a very grueling  protocol that I was determined to try for a year.

Months passed but the exhausting efforts were paying off & I began having more “good days” where I could manage my needs like being able to stand long enough to shower,cook & walk. This was huge after spending 75% of my days flat on my back. 

I’d gained 10 desperately needed pounds which put me up to 100-a great start to reversing the catabolic(muscle)wasting I’m experiencing from these drugs.
I’d finally started getting more than 3 hours of broken sleep a night. 

The most significant improvement was the overall relief from the constant & intense pain that gets so severe it makes me insane at times. 

The fact that I was up more than I was down gave me the hope I so desperately needed to continue the exhausting efforts. 

I was to begin working with Dr. Mueller,a renowned homeopathic specialist who treats chemical drug injury,progressive neuro-degenerative diseases & the laundry list of other issues w/o risking further damage to an already compromised body. 

The timing would be perfect to begin this during the 2 months we’d be in Delacroix,LA where life is just simple & I could really relax & focus on healing.

Then along came Hurricane Micheal & with it-complete destruction of all my plans & once again,my health! 

Our Delacroix trip had coincided with our storm evacuation & we thought the house had escaped any damage those 2 months we were gone.
That was not the case! Upon  our return home in Dec-we discovered it had gone through a series of damaging events that gave mold a perfect environment to thrive & literally took over the house. 

Just the few weeks back in our home & being exposed to mold very nearly killed me.
I experienced severe hyper-sensitive reactions affecting my nervous system. 
For the last several days before we left I had very scary stroke symptoms & by then all of the other previous issues had come back-fast & furious!

Over the course of this past month-I’m back to barely functioning. I lost most of the weight I’d fought so hard to put on. 
I’m in such severe pain & once again spending the majority of my time confined to bed. 
The most discouraging part of it all is knowing that all those months of hard work  were completely wiped-out in a matter of days! 

My reactions & symptoms became so severe we had little choice but to leave again & head back to Delacroix for the next month while Adam finishes up his Charters. 

As of right now-Adam has been denied claims with Home Owners Ins & FEMA so this is it in a nut shell...everything we’re dealing with is “out of pocket” expense! 

Adam already goes above & beyond helping me with my all my needs but everything he has now will have to go into fixing & rebuilding our home. 
He’s had to come up with high deductibles & fix so many things already on top of providing the necessities to keep us going. 
Now he plans to do all the rebuilding from the foundation up after the mold remediation has taken place.
You’ve no idea the work,expense & danger  involved which just adds to the heavy load! 

It’s hard to see an end & have no idea how our needs will be met-so I’m just trusting God on this & reaching out for help.

Anything you can spare will go a long way in helping out!  

Thanks friends & family-you’re literally saving our home & my life!
