Need advice and/or experience about suing landlord for illness induced

by mold exposure, please.

I moved into my apt (basement) 3 years ago which has flooded over 11

times, mostly w sewage, which I cleaned up. Became ill within 6 mos,

with head to toe skin leisons-treated for 6 mos with no diagnosis or

improvement by GP. Referred to Derm, who diagnosed dermatitis

(prurigio nodalaris) secondary to Graves Disease (which I also

contracted after living in this apt was first told this " rash " was

secondary to the Graves Disease,and once that was under control the

rash would go away.

After a year of derm and endo treatment, my Graves Disease is clear,

but this rash, my endo has decided is not related to Graves Disease.

This yr at 39 yrs of age, I have begun experiencing seizures, which

may or may not have anything to do w the mold but

I have had my apt tested for mold (awaiting written results), but

was told the level were high (75 being normal, but my apt 500) and the

moisture content of the walls was 30% vs 10% that is normal for a

basement setting. This was 9 days after the last flood and my LL's

bucket, towel wipe down, and bleach mop up of 150 gallons my basement

was flooded w. Landlord has never had apt professionally cleaned and

refuses to supply dehumidiifer.

I am all set up to get testing but I have two questions?

1) Has anyone else been through this process, can you suggest any

doctors/lawyers?

2}Any idea as to the success rate of this type of litigation

Everything I read on the net seems outdated, and as if there has been

some " unofficial " decision that toxic mold is no longer consider a

real health hazard.

Any advice, comments appreciated
