Michaela Sheranko Walz, also known as the musician Fleuke, is the artist who created and founded the non-profit I Love The Way You Lyme (ILTWYL). She began suffering with pain as a teenager although her doctors believe she may have had Lyme and PANS/PANDAS since childhood. It wasn't until 2017 that Michaela was formally diagnosed with Lyme disease and co-infections. Since her diagnosis she has seen multiple doctors and done various treatments including stem cell treatment, ozone therapy, antibiotics and homeopathic. Presently Michaela is continuing treatment with a holistic doctor as well as doing Neurofeedback and BRT to work through her chronic pain, trauma and neurological symptoms.

In addition to writing, recording and playing with her band, Michaela has started a small hand-dyed clothing line called Fleuke Apparel. She and her husband Andrew have recently begun sharing restoration projects on their blog called Between Two Walz while living on their boat Henrietta with their dog Boston.
