Hurricane Sandy, October 2012.
I was living in a condo directly on the Hudson River. When the hurricane passed, I was relieved to be safe from harm, or so I thought, until the severe fatigue, massive hair loss, weight gain, and rapid visible aging began. My body suddenly shifted into perimenopause with abnormal cycles. What was it?
Black mold. A black mold infestation discovered in the heating/air conditioning unit under my window that faced the river.
