About

Before starting a family, my husband called me MomLady.  Calvin & Hobbes is his favorite cartoon and Calvin would call his mom, MomLady.  I live in Oregon with my husband of 22 years, our 15 & 12 yr old boys, and two dogs.  I was poisoned by an antibiotic called Levaquin in July 2010.  Levaquin is a Fluoroquinolone and a chemotherapeutic drug.  For the last nearly 4 years, I have been researching what caused such strong, negative, long lasting “side effects” to the Levaquin and how I might overcome the adverse reactions.

During this process, I’ve learned I have multiple autoimmune disorders (first one diagnosed when I was a kid), which in turn means I have a leaky gut.  For me, the floxing (the process of Fluoroquinolone Toxicity) was just the straw which broke the camel’s back.  I had no idea just how sick I was.  Yes, I was hypothyroid and had psoriasis among other issues, but really, I was a pretty “healthy”, average American; eating the Standard American Diet (SAD).  In reality, my body was crumbling beneath me.  It was just a matter of time before something would give; whether it was diabetes, cancer, heart disease, you name it.

I am also a survivor of childhood incest.  I hope over the next few years to write my story and show the world you can overcome such horrific challenges.  I would never wish my life on anyone, but those experiences have made me the person I am today; which is a loving, caring, strong leader.

As for my AIs, I have (or had) Hashimoto’s, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Psoriasis, Raynaud’s, Roseacea, and cold induced Urticaria.

Welcome to my journey.
